●本授業の目的およびねらい
This course begins with an overview of Japanese society with particular emphasis
on the development of social character from the postwar era. It is hoped that
an examination of certain patterns that occur in Japanese society (early
education, etc.) will shed light on an environment where the dynamics of
"tradition" and "change" coexist, upsetting yet renewing, the current social
milieu.
