授業の目標   
What is culture? There are many definitions. Some would define it as the art, literature, and music of the people, their architecture, history, religion, their traditions. Others might focus on the customs and specific behavior of the people. Here is a sociological approach to culture as the way of life of a group of people, developed over time and passed down from generation to generation. The broad definition includes every aspect of human life and interaction. It would be impossible to cover every facet of culture in a limited amount of time. The instructor has, therefore, chosen to take a values approach to the course, focusing on the traditional mainstream values. After explaining how these traditional values developed, we will trace how they affect various aspects of American life.

授業の計画   
The purpose of this course is to increase students' awareness and understanding of the cultural values of the United States, their own country, and hopefully, other countries. The course presents information about the traditional basic American values, where they came from, and how these values affect various institutions and aspects of life in the United States: religion, business, government, race relations, education, recreation, and the family. The contents of this course is as follows:
1. Introduction 2. Traditional American Values and Beliefs I 3. Traditional American Values and Beliefs II 4. The American Religious Heritage I 5. The American Religious Heritage II 6. The Frontier Heritage I 7. The Frontier Heritage II 8. Mid-term Presentation I 9. Mid-term Presentation II 10. The Heritage of Abundance I 11. The Heritage Of Abundance II 12. The World of American Business I 13. The World of American Business II 14. Final Presentation 15. Final Presentation
It is the goal of this course to help students become more sensitive to cultural differences and more accepting of them. However, there will always be things about another culture that we do not like, no matter how much we understand it. The objective of this course is not to persuade others to approve of all facets of life but to help understand more fully and be able to adapt whenever it id desirable to do so.
