本課程是希望透過自由民主在台灣施行的經驗，瞭解落實公民文化的成就與困境。在方法上是從歷史的回溯，梳理自由民主社會的發展的軌跡，其中包括各種思潮與治理制度的變遷，並深入淺出的介紹「激進左派」「保守右派」，到底是什麼意思？
兩種截然不同的主張，如何影響我們的價值觀與世界觀，更牽涉到社會主義與資本主義，以及社會文化。此外,是人權保障的「進」（人權保障的落實）與「退」（人權保障遭逢的困境）的分析。期望學生可以深入理解當代各種主義的機會與限制，作為我國持續推動自由民主發展的知識基礎。This course is to understand the achievements and difficulties of implementing civic culture through experiences implemented in Taiwan through freedom and democracy. In terms of method, we are sorting out the development of liberal and democratic societies from a historical backtrack, which includes the changes in various thoughts and governance systems, and in-depth introductions to "stimulating the left" and "conservative right" mean?
How two completely different initiatives affect our value and world view, and more involve socialism and capitalism, as well as social culture. In addition, it is an analysis of the "advance" (the implementation of human rights protection) and "retreat" (the dilemma encountered by human rights protection). It is hoped that students can deeply understand the opportunities and limitations of various contemporary theories and serve as the intellectual foundation for our country to continue to promote the development of liberal democracy.

The general course is different from the professional course, and it focuses on guiding students to actively care, explore and understand the ultimate value and wisdom of human beings. At the same time, the knowledge provided by the general course is not the purity of the professional course, but the basic knowledge with a strong sense of reality. Our school has established four basic qualities for general education based on the concept of creating school traditions, school training and management: seeking truth, trustworthiness, striving for general education, and implementing the ideal of general education in our school in a specific way. I hope that students of this school can develop the spirit of independent learning, and under the guidance of general course teachers, they will gradually cultivate their basic qualities of general education, and look forward to finally learning. Various basic qualities are cultivated and have specific indicators for self-verification of teaching and learning results.
