遷移是一種安頓與定住在一個地方的行為。由於人類與生俱有追求美好生活的本能，因此，遷移現象在人類歷史上亙古以來即已存在。直至近代，隨著十五世紀末西方航海探險活動及其所帶動的各項變遷，促使人類的遷移活動愈加頻仍，移動的空間也不在侷限於「舊世界」的範圍。本課程主要探討近代以來人類的遷移活動，特別集中在盎格魯薩克遜人、愛爾蘭人、義大利人、猶太人、華人、日本人、黑人等民族的遷徙歷史，分析討論促成人類遷徙的原因、遷徙所衍生的社會適應、民族文化認同等問題，並介紹研究遷徙行為的理論與相關研究成果，引導學生以小見大，更深入理解與思考人類遷徙歷史。Migration is the act of settling and settling in one place. Since human beings are born with the instinct to pursue a better life, the phenomenon of migration has existed since ancient times in human history. Until modern times, with the Western maritime exploration activities at the end of the fifteenth century and the changes they brought about, human migration activities became more frequent, and the space for movement was no longer limited to the "Old World". This course mainly discusses human migration activities in modern times, especially the migration history of Anglo-Saxons, Irish, Italians, Jews, Chinese, Japanese, blacks and other ethnic groups. It analyzes and discusses the causes and migration of human beings. Derived issues such as social adaptation and national cultural identity, and introduce the theory and related research results of studying migration behavior, guide students to see the big from the small, and have a deeper understanding and thinking about the history of human migration.

General courses are different from professional courses. They actually focus on guiding students to actively care for, explore and practice the ultimate value and wisdom of mankind. At the same time, the knowledge provided by general courses is not the superficiality of professional courses, but basic knowledge with a solid sense. . Based on the school’s founding tradition, school motto and school philosophy, the school has formulated four basic qualities for general education: truth-seeking quality, belief quality, practical quality and general quality, in order to concretely implement the school’s ideals of general education. We hope that our students can develop their independent learning spirit and gradually develop their basic literacy in general education under the guidance of general education teachers, and look forward to lifelong learning. Each basic literacy has specific learning effectiveness indicators for self-examination of teaching and learning effectiveness, which are described below: Truth-seeking literacy (natural field): 1. Learn the methods or philosophy of natural science to explore physics and the subtleties of the living world, 2. Use the spirit of discussing matters as they are, 3. Be able to participate in public affairs related to scientific issues. Belief literacy (humanities field): 1. Learn the humanistic spirit to explore the inner self and understand the deep value of human civilization, 2. Develop self-discipline, 3. Be able to use rationality for moral reasoning. Practical literacy (social field): 1. Use social science methods or philosophy to stimulate students' listening and communication skills, 2. Recognize and respect diversity, 3. Practice the spirit of democratic deliberation. Hongtong literacy (cross-field): 1. Pursue the overall value of human beings, 2. Integrate qualities such as truth-seeking, faith, and practice into personal life. Courses in various fields can choose from different learning outcome indicators, so there is no need to be rigid.
