Class Objectives
/Class Outline
Established in the city of Hiroshima, whose citizens were once Atomic-bombed, Hiroshima University upholds the cause of universal peace as one of its founding principles. The objectives of this course are thus as follows: (1) to review the damages of atomic bombing that have shaped the current Hiroshima's identity, and (2) to use Hiroshima as a reference point to explore ways in which universal and eternal peace may be achieved. As such, this course introduces students to the current issues of poverty, famine, immigration, environmental challenges, and local and global conflicts. Representative cases are examined, and the ideal state of peace in these cases is discussed from various angles, recognizing the difference between the ideal state and reality in the given socio-political conditions.
