Conclusion: Significance of Respect for Individuals or Humanin Dignity the diverse society in the 21st Century.
・At this lecture, I explained the legal transition and social awareness about family and sexual diversity in Europe contrasting with Japanese situation. Even now the Japanese legal situation is still very conservative. Some female Representatives in the Japanese Diet are making an assertion "Person of LGBT is unproductive in the society". And on this year, I introduced the legislative process of the draft of an Act of Prohibition of the Discrimination because of LGBT.
・To the contrary, the Court of the European Human Rights and the Federal Constitutional Court in Germany judged often the restrictive requirements of Transsexual Act as violation of Human right and unconstitutional.
・On this year, half of the students participated in the classroom, and 88% of the students (108 students) satisfied with the contents of my lecture and they said that it was well understood. But a little students said that it was a little bit difficult to understand the contents of my lecture, because they are not familiar with the legal science.
