The answer is different according to each person. For example, a \u201cbetter society\u201d may be different for young and elderly people, urban and rural people, rich and poor, healthy and sick people. Furthermore, by considering not only the dichotomy but also people in the middle, a &#8220;better society&#8221; will become more diverse.<br> By utilizing my expertise in researching &#8220;Policy Studies&#8221; over a quarter of a century, and working together with &#8220;The Policy Studies Forum&#8221; board members and other people concerned with policy studies, I would like to try to offer solutions to the problems that arise when people with different ideas in modern society attempt to create a better society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">March 1, 2019<br>\nAkira Yokoyama<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Policy Studies&#8221; is the academic field that carries out comprehensive studies on policy.
