The Japanese government has recognized the importance and the necessity of interdisciplinary research programs such as gerontology at the open lectures in community as well as college and graduate levels. The results show that participants have interests in studying the meaning of life, the real aging process, and death education through discussion at the gerontology class. Although it is important to study the aging field as a knowledge, the participants think that it is more useful and important to share and deepen their ideas and experiences to put their thoughts together.
