THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Editor's Notes
What is important to the Chinese?
What makes someone Chinese?
A nation on the move
Self assured – a place at table
Money to spend
Not well enough understood
Harmony in the balance
Internal
Global
A shared identity stemming from a need
to survive
The purpose of culture is to grow: it is about growing people and giving them identity
A culture evolves – it is fluid, not static
There is more to a culture under the surface than above – the iceberg
Training on other cultures acts as a guide for the wise and rules for the fool
Think about:
high context communication
Think about preparing very well for a meeting. Expect that they will know more than you do.
How do you give face? Study the business card. Find the leader. Talk through the leader. Don’t embarrass others by trying to conduct the meeting through them or by finding out things through underlings.

What does this tell you about how the Chinese deal with problems?
They will avoid it. They will not be straight-talking about a problem. If it might cause them to lose face – or you – they will avoid the issue or be very indirect about it.
【点评】老外则显得非常没有中国人聪明了,在这一点上。我们中国人是世界上最圆滑的人了吧。见硬就躲,见困难就颠,见便宜就上,见免费的就疯狂。其实,中国的国粹___麻将,最能说明中国人见硬就躲,见困难就颠,见便宜就上,见免费的就疯狂的特点。麻将的最大玄机,就在于如何让自己逃避困难,如何跟人跑,并在最恰当时候,抓住机会,使自己当上最牛比的机会主义分子!我另外想到的是,老祖宗留给我们的几句训话:一切要“和为贵”(形容遇困难尽量把困难化小,小事化了的心态)、不要“不撞南墙不回头”(形容左边那种在中国人看来有些缺心眼的老外们吧)。
What’s going on here?
It is a sign of weakness for Chinese people to show emotions – anger or sadness. If you are in a business context and you get angry, even raise your voice, then this is deemed a weakness in you. Equally, Westerners will speak out if they have something they want to say. For the Chinese, it is better that you don’t let your emotions rise to the surface. Use reason to have an impact.
