授業の目的 【英語】
Goals of the Course [ENG] | | | 【Standardized across all programs】 In today's world, conflicts and disputes based on differences in cultural backgrounds are becoming more and more serious. Living in such a world, we need to be willing to recognize the diversity of cultures. However, if we emphasize cultural diversity too much and “otherize” other cultures as if they were the stories of people in another world, we may lose our empathy as human beings, which may ultimately lead to a lack of understanding and indifference toward other cultures. The purpose of this course is to learn universal knowledge and perspectives on human beings and culture by focusing on not only the diversity of cultures but also the commonalities among them through the process of comparing them with each other. |
