| Research Abstract |
In this decade Japanese government has promoted Career Education. It expects for schools to develop children's "communication ability". The government explains that this policy is based on the report from the Central Council for Education, which reflects interests of business community. Critical social theory on the one hand reveals that the policy is to spoil potentiality of communicative action and on the other hand raises a problem of how to recognize an action as fairly communicative or not.
