MLO 4
Major Learning Outcome 4: Secondary Culture Other Than Hispanic Cultures:
This MLO is a little different then the other MLOs but I believe it was interesting learning about another culture other than the ones we have learned. For this outcome Japn 311: Social Issues in Japan fit the outcome. This course was taken in the Fall 2019, the reason why I chose this course was because it was an interesting topic. This course gave me the chance to learn more about the subjects that we had learned in previous history classes growing up. I believe that it was fascinating being able to interact with the classmates that are in a different major than Spanish. The professor made the course fun but also very easy to comprehend. We would have assigned readings regarding the social issued that occur in Japan and then we would have in class discussion. This was helpful because we would go further in the subject and discuss about things I may have missed in the readings. A reading that caught my attention was the low fertility rate crisis that is happening in Japan. I think it is fascinating how many of the Japanese would rather marry and Anime that marry a human. Also, how the government is addressing the problem, willing to pay for Japanese to have children is shocking to hear.
Towards the end of the course we were assigned to work on research paper and create a presentation, sine the topic of low fertility grabbed my attention I wanted to learn more about the subject and decided to have my paper and presentation be on that. It was just fractionating the fact that Japan has not been able to raise their fertility number even when the government is willing to pay them to not only marry but also have children. This social issue is bad for Japan if there is not children Japan will not have any citizens to take over when the older people pass away. Once again this course was fascinating to take, being able to learn and interact with other people from outside my major.
