The purpose of this classis to provide opportunities.to acquire the legal perspective, knowledge, and sense of risk necessary for starting and operating a new business in a start-up, social venture (an organization that aims to solve social issues such as NPOs) or an existing organization. In starting and operating a business, various laws, contracts, regulations, etc. are closely related beyond individual legal areas such as civil law, company law, and copyright law. Since the purpose of the class in Law school or faculty of law is to study "law", classes are held in each specialized field. However, in the actual society, usually, problems in various fields are intricately intertwined. This class is based on the experience of lecturer who has been involved in various businesses as practitioners (lawyers), and provides the legal perspectives that entrepreneurs or those who aim to start new businesses in the future should acquire. We will provide knowledge and sense of risk through discussions, etc. with reference to materials such as lectures by lecturers, securities reports, and fictitious cases. I graduated from SFC and would like to make the class interactive as much as possible.
The purpose of this class is to understand Indonesian society with examining various events and topics which affect the social changes. Since the collapse of the Suharto authoritarian regime in 1998, Indonesia has experienced remarkable economic growth as well as democratization. At the same time, in the society where democracy has begun to take root, Islam has become more visible and has been exerting its power in various aspects of society. In this class, students will learn the reality of Indonesia with these characteristics and the changes in society by examining individual topics. Although we will be dealing directly with Indonesian society, we will also consider the cases from other regions, such as emerging countries in Asia that have similar characteristics or are experiencing similar changes, and the Islamic world in the Middle East, where turmoil continues.

This course is an introduction to the area studies of Indonesia. Indonesian societies, especially the Javanese society which is the center of Indonesia, are considered to consist of two strata, namely the ruling stratum and the ruled stratum. If viewed from a historical perspective, unlike Western societies, land has not been a source of social wealth or a basis for accumulating wealth. It can be said that in Indonesia the social relations and the morals/values that support these social relations have been playing an important role. Based on the above views, through this course you can understand the system of morals/values that unite the societies/strata, by taking account of the characteristics of Southeast Asian societies, the raison d'etre of area studies, and the social structure of Indonesia.
Since this course focuses on investigating the relationship between the hierarchical structure of Indonesian society and the consciousness structure of the people who live there, I would like to develop useful lectures for students who are interested in "the relationship between the dominant and controlled classes" and “the political ideologies” (politics, sociology, cultural anthropology) in non-Western societies such as Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

This course aims to give students an overview of main issues discussed in contemporary political philosophy. Political philosophy is distinguished from political science or sociology in that it adopts principally normative approach. As normative theory, political philosophy has made a remarkable revival and development since John Rawls, American philosopher, published A Theory of Justice in 1971. What problems does contemporary political philosophy focus on? How does it attempt to solve those problems? The first part of this course makes clear a variety of criticisms addressed to modern political philosophy in order to understand the issues that contemporary theories have raised since the 1970’s. The second deals with three conceptions of freedom, each of which represents particular position in contemporary political philosophy. The third explains fundamental ideas of Rawlsian theory of justice, and also three criticisms directed towards his liberal conception. The fourth shows how political philosophers tackle concrete issues raised by today's social and global situation, particularly with regard to culture, gender, and global justice.
This course aims to give students an overview of key debates in political philosophy in the modern era when fundamental values such as human rights and democracy began to take hold. It will also emphasize moral questions closely related to political philosophy. The course is divided into four parts (1. rights, 2. state, 3. freedom, and 4. morality): the first two parts mainly deal with political philosophy and the last two parts with ethics.

When we examine different regions, it is important to understand their culture. The broad concept of culture includes elements such as among others history, religion, language and art. Furthermore we can also say that in its core this concept also merges with the idea of community. This lecture will be conducted jointly by professors of the German and French sections. Although to a certain extent we can not avoid focusing on Germany and France, the goal of this lecture is to approach the true nature of “Europe” especially through the investigation of its western parts. While experiencing ups and downs, Europe has advanced towards unification. In this sense, Europe is getting closer to becoming a region that has overcome borders. At the same time national borders do not
always coincide with linguistic and cultural borders. Furthermore European states are often marked by different regional identities inside their national borders. Investigating this diverse Europe will have a great importance in the 21st century.

How do people choose words or expressions to communicate with others successfully? Further, what difficulties are experienced if such acts are done in a second language(L2)? This lecture will survey how adult learners acquire L2. Students will learn theories of L2 acquisition and study issues involving communications from theoretical and practical positions. I welcome students who are interested in cross-cultural communication and pragmatics as well as second language acquisition (SLA) research.
In a world where a multilingual society has become a reality, we are facing a situation where the existing view of language is being forced to change. On the one hand, there is English, the language that dominates the world by far, and while on the other hand there are only a few speakers left. But is English, which we believe that dominate the world really a language in its own right? For example, in the language of downtown London, the arrival of many immigrants in the area has led to the emergence of a language that has some English elements, but which is also hard to describe. In a situation where there is so much ethnic mixing, various forms of intermediary languages are emerging, and the field of education, for example, is beginning to have to adapt to this. This lesson will introduce the view of language in the context of the multilingualism that is emerging in the new situation and which involves the dismantling of the concept of 'language'.
