At present, Globalization is underway, on one hand via the Information-Communication Revolution, and on the other hand making Asia the workshop of the world. In cyberspace, we have the Internet Community, while in the real world, the back-office and sweatshop of women's workers for low wages. Meanwhile, in the U.S. the family is the focus of "the cultural war." What does that mean? This lecture tries to dissect those problems by using concepts of some Japanese social scientists as discussed in A. E. Barshay's The Social Sciences in Modern Japan.
Free and open to the public.
