Toward a society with accordance between people,
as well as mankind and earth.

There is a term called “resource curse”. The term “resource curse” derides the reality that countries with abundant natural resources generally have slower economic growth, are more undemocratic and underdeveloped than other countries. Why is the supply of energy and resources, which are essential for the maintenance of modern civilization, dependent on poor working conditions and often resulting in environmental destruction?

We will explore the nature of the various problems modern society is facing.
