Discourse of the times
Description
Book Introduction
The world is facing a period of great transformation.
Education is torn between innovation and politics, and welfare remains neglected, leaving blind spots.
The international situation fluctuates daily, and administration often becomes obsessed with formalities rather than serving the people.
Change is rapid, yet amidst this transformation, the lives of citizens, who should be the protagonists, are still being pushed to the back burner. This book is an attempt to document, rather than ignore, this uncomfortable reality.
The education section addressed the crisis of college entrance exams and universities, and the emptiness of school violence countermeasures, while the welfare section addressed structural problems such as low birth rates, youth employment, and the collapse of labor rights.
In the political and security section, questions were raised about the nature of power and institutions and the direction of the nation.
In the administrative and other fields, the gap between the system and the field was revealed and responsible changes were called for.
