Receiving the social needs of "legal education" and "career education"
The planning of this book started with such an inquiry from a high school teacher.
"Are there any legal books suitable for high school students to read as assignment books including career education?"
Certainly, in recent years, in the midst of social changes in which the world's values are diversifying and becoming more complex, "legal education" to acquire the idea of legal things has been greatly highlighted.
As many people get together and lead a social life, rules are naturally necessary.The law exists to form a society in which everyone can coexist by firmly guaranteeing the rights and freedoms of people in accordance with the rules.Therefore, understanding what kind of rules are necessary, the values that are the basis of the legal system, and approaching the essence of things from a legal point of view will open up a fruitful life as a member of society and be better. It should be of great help in building a society.
In addition, "career education" from high school is becoming more important.
Currently, as event tools for high school students to select a university or faculty, there are open campus participation, mock lessons held in high school, university pamphlets, etc., but all of them are "creating an image of the university / faculty". I think it is the main focus.However, there are often gaps between the image that high school students envision and the actual content of the university / faculty.In order to solve this problem, there is a need for education in the field so that high school students can improve their ability to choose and decide their own career paths and have a solid vocational outlook.
Amid such growing social needs, we, who received the inquiries at the beginning, intend to send out an introductory book on law that will be familiar to high school students as a way to help nurture the vitality of young people who will lead the future. It came to.
When you hear the word law / jurisprudence, you may have an image that is difficult and difficult to grasp at first glance.In the first place, few high school students (and adults) usually live with the law in mind.However, from the time we are in the womb of our mother to the time we die, we are protected by law throughout our lives, and when we make mistakes, we are obliged to obey the law.In this way, the law is deeply integrated into our lives, and if we change our perspective a little, there are many situations in our high school life where we can make use of the "legal way of thinking."In addition, there are many social issues that we would like teenagers to face directly from a legal perspective.
Books also play a major role in career education.Not only an event-like thing that creates an image of an undergraduate school, but also taking time to read books, touching on the "essence and knowledge" of academics, and carefully facing the difficulties, including the difficulties, about the future course and the profession you want to aim for. I think that you can think from a deeper perspective.Therefore, it is also an ant to read this book and make people think that "jurisprudence is not what I am aiming for."Voluntary discovery of mismatches is an important point in exploring future paths.
Of course, it would be great for us writers if as many teens as possible could become aware of the distance between themselves and the law and become even a little interested in the scholarship of law through this book. ..
