The information society is characterized by the existence of ‘knowledge economy’. Knowledge economy changes human intellectual activity into rights and property concepts. Intellectual property makes tremendous profits for businesses, and thereby it also indirectly encourages colleges to train talented students to meet the demands in workplaces. On the one hand, colleges in the information society are inevitably faced with the changes of knowledge and its impact on college education, and on the other hand, intellectual activities are also faced with the problem of how they could be regulated and protected between in the conflict of public interests and individual interests, so that the development of knowledge economy is assured. In terms of general education as responding to the information society, this article proposes that the information-related general education in colleges should cover three interdisciplinary domains: 1) Education related to information and knowledge, regarding the reflections on technology and modern knowledge, 2) Ethical consciousness when information is used, regarding ethics, and 3) Legal discussions on the topics of legal issues in the information society. This article takes the course ‘Information Life and Law’ as an example, aiming to discuss the meaning of general education in the information society integrating knowledge, ethics, laws, science and technology.
