Introduction to Inclusive Smart Society II
- Inclusive Smart Society
- popular culture
- comparative religions
- sports for those with disabilities and those challenged people
Following the Introduction to Inclusive Smart Society I, this course introduces students to several chosen topics in designing and enhancing ISS: Popular Culture, Comparative Religion, and Sports for the Challenged people and those with disabilities as potential case studies. Students are asked to broaden their perspectives into ISS by learning those topics and exchanging their views via discussion among Japanese and American students. In some cases, students are encouraged to ask how basic notions such as “inclusive” and “smart” could be applied to the topics in this course. Students of Japan and America are also asked to recognize different cultural appreciations of the shared topics, and to learn to incorporate other cultural perspectives in locating problems and in finding solutions.
