授業の概要と目的(何を学ぶか)Outline and objectives
This course will provide an introduction to the culture and society of contemporary Britain. Students will acquire knowledge about Britain: it's geography, climate, history, traditional culture, religion, political system, society, Britishness, and so on. The course will survey British society following globalization after Thatcher's government. Britain in the 70’s was a nightmare, economically crippled, politically in a quagmire, and yet culturally vibrant. Thatcher, as prime minister (1979-1990), changed Britain drastically in the 80’s. She insisted on free enterprise and deregulation, employed monetarist policies, privatized nationalized industries, passed legislations to weaken trade unions' political power, and was tenaciously skeptical about the deepening of European integration. However, socially, she was conservative and put an emphasis on the importance of traditional family, a self-help work ethic and community. Whether her policies worked well or not is still in discussion, but she is commonly thought to have prepared the way for globalisation, economic success, and the rise of so-called Cool Britannia. Political issues are often related to nation, religion, immigration, ethnicity, class, globalisation, gender, youth culture, and so on.
With UK as a case theme, we also understand the diversity of cultures around the world and the significance of enhancing communication with people from other cultural backgrounds.
到達目標Goal
Students will (1) acquire the general knowledge of the society and people in contemporary Britain, (2) learn how one of the most globalized nations has gone through the changes, and (3) think about the new realities and the implications of the changes. By comparing the situations in Britain and Japan, students will gain clearer perspectives on complex issues common in the most advanced and affluent countries.
