［Overview］Basic Sociology –What do you need to be a Global Person-

JAPIC, Planning and Coordination Division　 Mr. Uemura Shunichi	Student’s comments: Before this lecture, I was thinking that the most important thing to deal with globalization is English ability. Now I realized that the most important thing is to have my own way of thinking. Additionally, I realized that I should learn to respect the other religions and have a mind to consider others and to know more about my own country.	Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Director of Industrial Science and Technology Policy and Environment Bureau - Mr. Hiroyuki Suematsu

Student’s comments:　“Agricultural crops and forests are the fruits of our predecessor’s labor and we have to keep it for the next generation.” This comment was made at the beginning of the lecture. I realized that these words sum up today’s lecture.	Mayor of Kamaishi City　Mr. Takenori Noda	Student’s comments: We should continue to have connections with our neighbors. “What should we do to improve Japan’s future?” - I would like to cooperate with my friends to find the answer to this question.

Our students was very active in the Q and A session. They were questioning the lecturers after the session. From the student’s report: ● I will stop excusing myself saying that “I am still a teenager”. I will find what I can do and what I should do to make the world a better place. ●　I was exactly thinking the same as Mr. Miwa said. “Self-establishment is more important than technical know-how and other languages”. I should be more confident and move on. ● It was impressing to learn that the difference between Global and International is coming from the borders. ● We should be aware that Globalization may make the originality of its country fade away. We should do something about it. ● The reason why we are losing Japaneseness is coming from the daily life.
