Course Summary and Objectives(授業の概要・到達目標)
〈Outline〉
English has become the language of global communication. Studying English at university should
therefore involve some exploration of prominent issues in the global community. Global Issues A aims
to develop students' English ability while introducing issues in the world today and encouraging further
exploration. Since such issues are also viewed in variety of ways, the course also seeks to promote
critical thinking skills to explore these issues using English. The main course materials will be
readings introducing the issues which will be used to promote reading skills as well as introduce
content. The readings will be assigned during the previous class and should be prepared in advance.
Video materials will also be used to promote listening and give a multi-media view of the issues. Besides
reading and listening, students will be required to keep a reflective journal in English which will
be used as a source for small in-group discussions. Learning how to discuss topics effectively will
also be a goal for this course.
〈Objectives〉
To develop a critical awareness of global issues
To be able to discuss global issues in English
To become familiar with and practice a range of reading skills
To acquire key vocabulary associated with global issues

This course serves as an introduction to the study of gender from a sociological perspective. The
course focuses on gender as a major organizing principle of societies, from the individual level through
groups and organizations, social institutions of families, work, school, and so forth, to macro-social
structures. We will learn basic concepts and approaches of the sociology of gender and examine the
ways that gender is socially constructed and the ways in which gender influences social life and social
organization. Class materials are in English, but we will address key issues that are relevant to
Japanese society and, where possible, discuss these issues with respect to similarities and differences
between Japanese and other societies.

Course Summary and Objectives(授業の概要・到達目標)
We are now aware of the existence and importance of cultural differences among various cultures around
the world.
There are, however, similarities among cultures as well, which would suggest the
universality of human nature to a certain extent.
The goal of this course is to provide students with deeper understanding of culture of their own and
those of others by examining human behavior shown in movies and novels. We will examine and discuss
what we find as cultural differences and universalities stemmed from the human nature in the materials
used in class. All classes will be conducted entirely in English
As a basis for comparison with our own culture, American culture will be used, which is considered
to be quite unique among cultures around the world.
