Everyday Policy Studies

About “Everyday Policy Studies”

 This column consists of short essays which the Board Members, Advisory Board Members and other participants of our Policy Studies Forum write about the basic ideas of “policy studies”, thoughts about daily life, and their research results in a manner which junior high and senior high school students can understand.
 The society that you cherish will change depending on what kind of “better society” you are aiming for as a member of the society in which you are living. Every day, we aim at creating a better society, and we control the way in which we as individuals can improve ourselves. In this regard, we can say that we practice “policy studies” every day.
 Together with junior high and senior high school students and other young people, as well as with the elderly people who have practiced such “policy studies” every day for many years, each of us should be able to improve the quality of our society, that is, make a better society. I therefore hope that our short essays will serve as a stimulus which will make people think about what they can do in order to create a better society.
 Each essay is the personal opinion of the author, and the contents of the description are the author’s responsibility.
