Learning Goals:

授業の概要 The main goals of this course is to provide basic introduction to the field of sociology, and gain basic understanding of the research target of the field through examining current social issues in Hawai’i. Though Hawai’i is often portrayed as a paradise in the Pacific Ocean, this chain of islands consists of multi-ethnic societies and faces many current social & environmental issues, such as economy, tourism, agriculture, military, transportation, social services, and homelessness. As Japan enters more global, or multi-ethnic society in a rapid manner, careful case studies about Hawai’i will provide the students with better awareness and readiness to live in such a rapidly changing society.
