YLAW0008 Love, Sex, Marriage and Family:
A Multi-Disciplinary Approach (3 Credits)
Intimate interpersonal relationship takes up much of our personal time and resources, and is an indispensable building block of human society. It promises laugher but is sometimes tainted with tears. The family is where wounds are healed, but also a place where social and physical ills are transmitted. Has something gone wrong? Teachers from three disciplines (psychology, law and medicine) as well as guest speakers will present a multi-disciplinary analysis of the relevant issues. Or postmodern society’s prevalent emphasis on rugged individualism and hedonism will be compared with a more relational value system. A forum immediately after each lecture allows students to ask questions, form their own educated opinions, and receive feedback from teachers in various academic subjects. Reading assignments will be taken from the psychological, legal, and medical literatures. While no prior knowledge in these fields is assumed, students are expected to take their own initiatives in learning outside an area that are most comfortable with.
