Outline (in English)

[Course outline]
Even in developed countries, they had once caused many environmental problems so called “pollutions” in their economically/idealistically immature eras. These experiences are now commonly utilized not only to keep their domestic environments, but also to solve similar problems in developing countries. A common issue of such “pollutions” is understandable as a clear relationship between the cause and the result and/or between the perpetrator and the victim. However, such a clear relationship would be disappeared, and at the present time, all humankind is simultaneously a perpetrator and a victim when we face to newly happening environmental problems, such as greenhouse gas problems, PM2.5, and micro-plastics. Thus, we are still seeking for the way to solve them, which may stand on a different approach than ever.
Studying the environmental sciences could lead us to the answer. It is not a sole but a total natural science, and sometimes, it includes social sciences like economy, politics, and cultural anthropology. Here, this lecture provides you a basis of “the environmental sciences” (e.g., history of pollutions and how mankind solve the problems). In addition, the lecture may promote you to deepen your mind, what is the safety in environment and how to solve environmental problems at the present time and/or in future we will face in a mean of SDGs.
The learning schedule is showing below. The numbers are showing each lecture session.
1. Guidance and Introduction - What is the Environment?
2. What makes the environment – In relation to so-called “resource protectionism”
3-4. The Environment and the Ecosystem - What is the productivity of the land? Is it anything with the value to protect variety, How the variety occurred?
5-6. Pollutions of the air - Atmospheric structure, Component and circulation, Former air pollution, Depletion of the ozone layer, and the Mechanism of the greenhouse gas effect and global warming
7-9. Pollutions of the water - Outbreak of physics, chemical property and the life of the water, Pollutions of the water and Approach to keep the quality of the water, Biological concentration
10-11. Pollutions of the soil – What is pollutions of the soil, Components, structure, and functions of the soil, Absorption and accumulation of nutrients and tolerance of toxic elements in plants in relation to our foods and health
12-14. Group Discussion (or debate)
[Learning Objectives]
1. To have basic knowledge for the past and the present problems
2. To understand the nature of the problems from the social and the scientific background
3. To know methodology to solve the problems without self-righteousness
[Grading Criteria /Policy]
The grading is based on reports after each lecture session and group discussion. The semester test will not be conducted. The reports are graded by following three points of views; 1. Analyzed with a correct data/information (indicate the reference), 2, Written in clear, consistent, and original sentences in response to the theme, 3. Easy to read without wrong character. It is notable that utilization of Chat GPT-like AI will be acceptable/forced by case.
