Based on this community-based planning concept, this class will explore and discuss, through interdisciplinary approaches, how we can work with diverse groups of people in a community to find ways to make their cities and neighborhood better: thriving, safe, inclusive, and just.

This course is to learn "public safety policy," which is to study how to protect indivuduals and society from anti-social behaviors such as crimes.
Safety is indispensable for free democratic society, but it does not exist a priori in our society. Please understand that safety is barely maintained by many people's efforts.
It is too simple to discuss the policy based on whether it is good or bad, or whether it properly restrains the government. In addition to feasibility of the policy, you need to think about the balance between cost and benefit of the policy and the balance between policy effect and freedom constraint.
We will explore law and policy for safer society in this course.

Evolution of Life and Intelligence: Life is thought to have originated around four billion years ago, but what form did it take? And what are the driving forces and mechanisms behind the evolution of life, just through mutation and natural selection, from unicellular to multicellular organisms, from water to land, and eventually to the human species? We will also look at the origins and evolution of the brain, the ultimate organ. Emotions such as anxiety, anger, and joy are caused by fluctuations of substances within the brain, and genes are deeply involved in such personality traits as curiosity and optimism. We will also touch on depression, schizophrenia, memory impairment, hallucinations, and other disorders of brain function. We will finish with a look at life from the even grander perspective of the origin and evolution of the universe, and consider the possibilities of extraterrestrial life forms and the future of life on Earth.
