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。
金錢社會學，帶領我們透過比較金錢的觀念、意識形態、制度特質的差異，研究我們的「自我形成」以及這個時代所反映出的「社會關係」與衝突現象。回顧我們對於金錢的想像與認知，是認識自我與一個社會的最佳切入點，在物質文化與金錢邏輯滲透入各種「非市場領域」的時代，它反映出我們集體的文化偏好與匱乏焦慮。因此，我們將一同探究，現代社會的金錢現象與其產生的各種社會效應。

本課程涉及金錢、自我與社會，內容設定為大學通識社會選修基礎課程，以理解資本主義下的多元文化為前提，目標在於引導學生對於金錢文化與社會階層問題，有更豐富的認識與想像力。從近代主流的「創造金錢」論述，我們將看到集體社會價值的轉變歷史，以當代資本主義現象與自我發展之深入探討，理解自我與金錢觀念的社會建構意涵。
本課程的主要內涵包括：以當代金錢與市場等發展現象，以及社會衝突為切入點，從個體的金錢故事為起點，探索自我形成、社會關係、社會交換、權力、階級、異化、商品化、意識型態、社會衝突等議題。

回顧台灣社會過去三十年來，社會貧富兩極化加速、普遍的金錢匱乏感、不確定性的恐懼、金融泡沫化現象，以及消費社會中各種青年貧窮化現象，逐漸連結至全球資本主義社會生活的基本特徵。在此社會脈絡下，「金錢」與「市場」邏輯成為政府引導公共資源分配的核心邏輯，台灣從市場經濟轉向市場社會，金錢邏輯滲透傳統非市場領域，以及影響台灣社會發展方向的意識型態。同時，在日常生活的層次，「金錢」與「市場」也成為人們理解「自我價值」、「尊嚴」，以及建構「社會關係」的行動邏輯，成為個人自我治理的核心。同時，市場化的價值觀逐漸滲透到各個「非市場領域」，包括政治、教育、醫療、宗教、家庭乃至於個人日常生活等，金錢作為全球化時代的「治理」概念，同時也帶來了更為全面且深入的社會衝突。

藉由課程討論，希望為學生帶來新的金錢觀念的公共性反思，以及創造新型態金錢價值的可能性。同時深度探索，在高度資本主義時代，作為一個個體如何能夠突破框架重新理解金錢、自我、與社會的關係。本課程將針對金錢、工作、消費、公共資源分配、社會控制、社會責任等議題，帶領學生探索自我與台灣社會的近代發展，以及當前社會衝突現象的社會根源。

The goal of the social field curriculum is to inspire students to recognize differences, be willing to affirm themselves, appreciate others and respect differences.
The sociology of money leads us to study our "self-formation" as well as the "social relations" and conflict phenomena reflected in this era by comparing the differences in concepts, ideologies, and institutional characteristics of money. Reviewing our imagination and understanding of money is the best starting point for understanding ourselves and society. In an era when material culture and money logic penetrate into various "non-market areas", it reflects our collective cultural preferences and scarcity anxiety. Therefore, we will explore together the phenomenon of money in modern society and its various social effects.

This course involves money, self and society. The content is set as a basic elective course for general social studies in universities. It is based on the understanding of multiculturalism under capitalism. The goal is to guide students to have a richer understanding and imagination about money culture and social class issues. From the mainstream discussion of "creating money" in modern times, we will see the history of the transformation of collective social values. With an in-depth discussion of contemporary capitalist phenomena and self-development, we will understand the social construction implications of the concept of self and money.
The main content of this course includes: taking contemporary development phenomena such as money and market, as well as social conflicts as the starting point, starting from individual money stories, exploring issues such as self-formation, social relations, social exchange, power, class, alienation, commodification, ideology, social conflicts, etc.

Looking back over the past thirty years in Taiwanese society, the acceleration of the social polarization between rich and poor, the widespread sense of lack of money, the fear of uncertainty, the phenomenon of financial bubbles, and the various youth impoverishment phenomena in the consumer society have gradually been linked to the basic characteristics of global capitalist social life. In this social context, the logic of "money" and "market" has become the core logic for the government to guide the allocation of public resources. Taiwan has shifted from a market economy to a market society. The logic of money has penetrated traditional non-market fields, and has influenced the ideology of Taiwan's social development direction. At the same time, at the level of daily life, "money" and "market" have also become the logic of action for people to understand "self-worth" and "dignity" and construct "social relationships", becoming the core of personal self-governance. At the same time, market-oriented values ​​have gradually penetrated into various "non-market fields", including politics, education, medical care, religion, family and even personal daily life. As a "governance" concept in the era of globalization, money has also brought about more comprehensive and in-depth social conflicts.

Through course discussions, we hope to bring students new public reflections on money concepts and the possibility of creating new types of money value. At the same time, it is an in-depth exploration of how, in the era of high capitalism, an individual can break through the framework and re-understand the relationship between money, self, and society. This course will focus on issues such as money, work, consumption, public resource allocation, social control, social responsibility, etc., and lead students to explore the modern development of themselves and Taiwanese society, as well as the social roots of current social conflicts.
