授業の教育目的及び方針

Social problems do not exist naturally; certain issues are made social problems by the powerful group while certain others are completely ignored. In other words, to study social problems means to study a power relation between the powerful people who problematize certain issues on one hand and the powerless people who are problematized on the other hand. This course explores some of social issues in Japan not only to understand the current situations of these issues but also to analyze critically what the core problems behind the issues really are.
