社會領域的課程目標在於啟發學生能夠承認差異，願意肯定自我、欣賞他人與尊重差異。
本課程屬於社會領域中社<會價值思辨>這個大主題。

近來健保統計數字顯示，台灣罹患憂鬱症的人數正在逐年增長中，連本該是青春陽光歡笑的大學生族群，竟也出現類似的現象，甚至在過去幾年中還不斷出現自殺案例的新聞，為此，衛福部還在去年推出「年輕族群心理健康支持方案」，提供青少一年三次免費心理諮商。甚至還傳出，某些縣市在該政策上路三周後名額就已額滿的現象。

　　如果，我們不用憂鬱症這個特定名稱，而是改用「身心失衡」，那麼台灣甚至世界上那些所謂現代化社會的多數成員，這一輩子應該都會有一段時間，或長或短，經歷過身心失衡所帶來的折磨甚至痛苦。

我們不妨誇張的說，人類歷史上再也沒有任何一刻，會比今天更需要一套可以讓現代人身心安頓的價值觀或人生觀了。當前社會透過家庭父母、學校教育、職場、媒體所灌輸給我們的主流觀念、生活方式，往往都是兩極化的非人屬性: 若不是過於超脫現實，以至於無法應對現實衝擊的浪漫或空想，就是與身心健康無關，甚至是以剝削甚至犧牲後者為代價，以成全現代社會本身的常規運作。
令人難過的是，我們多數人也是往往毫無反省地將這些主流價值觀、生活方式，理所當然或不得不然地當成自己的人生觀、世界觀，去處理自己的生命、生活與生計，而結果通常就是: 每天頂著壓力與疲勞，跪舔現實，耗盡熱情，或是常懷焦慮與恐懼，深怕失去所有、為現實所拋棄，直到身心失衡，求診問醫、諮商服藥，然後再繼續同樣的生活模式；更有甚者，則是夢想幻滅，心志潰散，乃至於消沉厭世或狂暴憤恨。

因此，本課程以為，要想在今天這個快速變遷、眾聲喧嘩、高度不確定的複雜社會中，身心健康的活著，首要的工作，就是重新檢討眼下社會所流通的這些價值觀、生活方式，究竟會如何影響著我們的身心狀態。唯有打破它們的理所當然或不得不然，我們才能挪出足夠的心理空間去探索、建構讓自己安身立命的價值觀，而不是永遠只能依賴心理諮商與藥物。

最後，本課程則將探討，在打破了這些觀念的理所當然後，我們又將如何填補接下來的空虛狀態。我們還有其他的選擇嗎?是再次採取激進的行動主義，發動革命改造這個世界嗎? 還是寄望未來大有可為的AI人工智慧呢?或是回到前現代的古老智慧，從中汲取有助於現代人的格言或觀念呢，就像坊間許多心靈雞湯類作家，或所謂宗教大師所宣揚的那樣呢?

這門課程看似靈魂拷問，但實際上卻是在提供讓靈魂得以休整的閒暇，旨在讓同學們的心思從繁雜匆忙之中收攏，好好的體察自己的言行基礎。也是同學們未來展開英雄之旅的準備，好好的檢查已有的心志裝備，補足所欠缺的武器。因此本課程將以討論為主，講授為輔，讓同學在討論與聆聽他人想法的同時，以期能更深刻的自我認識、找尋自己的生活方向。

The goal of the social field curriculum is to inspire students to recognize differences, be willing to affirm themselves, appreciate others and respect differences.
This course belongs to the major theme of social value speculation in the social field.

Recent health insurance statistics show that the number of people suffering from depression in Taiwan is increasing year by year. Even college students, who are supposed to be youthful and cheerful, are experiencing similar phenomena. News of suicide cases have even continued to appear in the past few years. For this reason, the Ministry of Health and Welfare launched the "Young People Mental Health Support Program" last year, providing free psychological consultations for young people three times a year. There are even rumors that some counties and cities have already filled their quotas three weeks after the policy went into effect.

If we do not use the specific name of depression, but instead use the term "mental and physical imbalance", then most members of the so-called modern societies in Taiwan and even the world will have experienced the torture and even pain caused by physical and mental imbalance for a period of time in their lives, longer or shorter.

We might as well say with exaggeration that there has never been a moment in human history when a set of values ​​or outlook on life that can allow modern people to settle down physically and mentally is more needed than today. The mainstream concepts and lifestyles instilled in us through family, school education, workplace, and media in current society are often polarized and inhuman attributes: either they are too romantic or utopian to deal with the impact of reality, or they are irrelevant to physical and mental health, or they are even exploited or even sacrificed at the expense of the latter in order to fulfill the routine operations of modern society itself.
What is sad is that most of us often take these mainstream values ​​​​and lifestyles as our own outlook on life and world view without any reflection, and deal with our own lives, livelihoods and livelihoods. The result is usually: They face pressure and fatigue every day, kneel down to reality, exhaust their enthusiasm, or often harbor anxiety and fear, deeply afraid of losing everything and being abandoned by reality, until their body and mind are out of balance. They seek medical advice, take medication, and then continue with the same lifestyle; what's worse, their dreams are disillusioned, their aspirations are shattered, and they even become depressed and world-weary or violent and resentful.

Therefore, this course believes that if we want to live a healthy and healthy life in today's fast-changing, noisy, and highly uncertain complex society, the first thing we need to do is to re-examine how the values ​​and lifestyles currently circulating in society affect our physical and mental state. Only by breaking their natural or unavoidable nature can we free up enough psychological space to explore and construct the values ​​​​that allow us to settle down and live our lives, instead of always relying on psychological counseling and drugs.

Finally, this course explores how we can fill the void left after these concepts have been taken for granted. Do we have any other choice? Should we once again engage in radical activism and launch a revolution to transform the world? Or should we hope for the promising AI artificial intelligence in the future? Or should we return to the ancient wisdom of pre-modern times and draw from it mottos or concepts that are helpful to modern people, just like what many chicken soup writers or so-called religious masters preach?

This course may seem like a torture of the soul, but it actually provides leisure time for the soul to rest. It is designed to allow students to concentrate their minds away from the complexity and rush, and to better understand the foundation of their words and deeds. It is also a preparation for students to embark on the heroic journey in the future. They should carefully check the existing aspirational equipment and make up for the missing weapons. Therefore, this course will be based on discussion and supplemented by lectures, allowing students to discuss and listen to other people's ideas while hoping to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and find their own direction in life.
