授業の概要と方法

The questions of self and identity, whether it is a conscious or unconscious effort to define, explain, or narrate, have affected every individual at one point or another in his or her lifetime. Many perhaps may argue that these questions are embedded within our minds, almost like an encoded message that dictates our actions, behaviors and thoughts throughout our daily lives. How do we make decisions as individuals within a society? More specifically, where do we stand within the society? Or rather, how are we formed and patterned as social beings? Examining these questions and inquiring about the categories that have been scripted for us as members of society may elucidate the “selves” and “identities” within the current era of globalization.
The theories of globalization helps us to understand the transition of poverty, disparity, inequalities, borders and movements. How does the advancement of globalization affect developed and developing countries? What are the key concepts of globalization that must be considered as we advance in time, technology and new discoveries? This course brings many of these questions to the front, allowing us to confront numerous changes and challenges by thinking critically.
