【Course Contents】

1. The research on “charitable giving” ranking made by the Charities Aid Foundation in 2020 showed that Britain was in the twenty-second place among 114 countries, whereas Japan was the lowest. What caused the difference between two countries? This part explores the role of charity in British society in the past.
2. Many Japanese think that a protest demonstration has no power to improve their political situation, so they have a negative attitude to it. A demonstration, however, may have a significant impact for providing a starting point on the matter that have been ignored. This part explores the meaning of the protest movement in Britain.
3. In April 2010, the conference held at Cairo concluded with demands for the return of the cultural properties that the former settler had stolen. Britain, however, have kept ‘removed’ cultural objects ‘properly’ in the British Museum for a long time. So, whether Britain was ‘looter’ or ‘guardian’. This part explores the history of ‘British’ cultural property.
