Essay about The Chinese Invasion and the Rape of Tibet
The Chinese Invasion and the Rape of Tibet
"All I want is for my people to be happy and free from suffering". This is what the Dali Lama has
stated to be his only wishes for the people of Tibet, what should be referred to as their basic human
right. Over one million Tibetans have died since 1959; the deaths are a direct result of the Chinese
occupation, either through harsh prison conditions, summary executions or starvation.[1]
In the years since the Chinese government has taken over Tibet, Tibetans still in the country and
those living in exile in Darsalma, India, have depended on the assistance of others for basic needs
such as health care and education. The standards of life have not been the same since China has

They are focused on rebuilding infrastructure and similar expenditures which are insignificant when
people are dieing. From my research I have discovered that China and International Governments
are only interested in Tibet as an economic center. Although they do give money to the Tibetans, and
some Tibetans are happy, China is leading a cultural genocide in Tibet by demolishing the Tibetan
culture for those Tibetans who still remain in the country. Forty–Five years after China's takeover,
Tibetans are still facing the same social issues they did in 1959.[2] I believe for any changes to
occur within Tibet, International Governments need to begin to pressure China for the end of their
oppression and cultural genocide of the Tibetan people, instead of promoting it by giving to China's
projects for Tibet's economy.
Education
Three key sociological components which are essential for Tibetans to receive the happiness which
the Dali Lama wants for them are education, the right to practice their culture, and health care.
Historically in Tibet, the most important knowledge was Buddhism and children would go to the
monasteries to learn.[3] There were no real schools, in the western sense of the word, there was no
need.[4] People became herdsmen and monks, therefore an education was irrelevant. Because, of

Ap World History Dbq Essay
In order to seek for profit, British merchants never stopped illegal behavior in China. Even after Lin
Zexue sent a letter to Queen Victoria, British merchants still continued their business regardless of
the laws in China2. During the process of prohibiting the opium trade in some of Chinese coastal
cities, the conflict of interests between Chinese government and British merchants had become more
and more severe. According to the document, British troops started to attack the forts at Taikok and
Shakok [paragraph 2, line 3 to 4], and they invaded the inner river and besieged the provincial city
[paragraph 3, line 1 to 2]. Taking into account of the lives of Chinese people, the emperor made an
unusual concession, hoping that British troops would abstain from creating further troubles
[paragraph 3, line 7 to 9]. However, contrary to Daoguang's expectations, the British troop
continued to offend Chinese territories [paragraph 4, line 2 to 4]. In Daoguang's view, it was their
concession at the beginning that led to the invasion of the British troop. Whereas he neglected one
of the important reasons of the British invasion: Britain's desire of opening the Chinese market in
search for higher profits was restricted by the Chinese laws and policies3. In response to the British

How Did East Asia Change Over Time
East Asia currently consists of China, Japan, North Korea, South Korea, Mongolia, and Taiwan.
During the time period of 600 C.E. – 1450, which is also known as time period 3, this geographic
region underwent numerous changes, some of which were political, economic, social, and religious.
Nonetheless, several continuities relative to these matters were experienced as well. For example,
East Asia experienced political changes in China, when the Tang dynasty fell and the Song dynasty
arose in its place, in Japan, when the emperor was replaced by the shogun, and in Korea, when
Korea, under the rule of the Silla, was made a vassal of the Chinese. Changes also occurred when

Another breakthrough was the invention of gunpowder, which was highly underrated at that time.
Technology also showed vast improvements in this era, which was demonstrated by the use of the
abacus in counting, the compass in maritime navigation, and the development of movable type in
printing. Along with these political and economic changes, some social changes occurred, one of
which was the integration of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism, which gave birth to the religion
of Neo–Confucianism. The heavy imitation of Chinese culture by the Japanese also shifted course,
as Japan began to forge its own path and develop its own culture. However, Japan wasn't the only
country borrowing elements of Chinese culture; Korea produced Celadon pottery by altering
Chinese porcelain. On the other hand, some social continuities within East Asia during time period 3
were the continuation in the belief of Shinto and Confucianism in Japan and China and the emphasis
on patriarchal families. Because of the patriarchal culture, foot binding was also a popular constant,
although during certain dynasties its use increased. A political continuity was the threat of invasion

First, I will talk the causes of ISIS. As I said before the 2003 invasion of Iraq is the main cause of
them starting. Another problem though is how they are able to afford all of the guns and other
weapons. They do this by stealing ancient artifacts and selling it all over the world. According to the
wall street journal " While it's impossible to know how much money these stolen artifacts provide to
ISIS annually –– estimates range from the low tens of millions by Mr. Danti to $100 million by
another French security official –– the income is considered noteworthy."(Faucon, Benoit,Georgi
Kantchev, and Alistair MacDonald 1). As you can see this group is making crazy amounts of money
every year, and this is how they are able to buy all of the guns and explosives to carry out these acts
of terror. This is a big problem that needs to be stopped so they can stop making money to perform
these terror attacks on innocent civilians. Now to the effects that ISIS has on this world. They have
caused many problems in the world such as killing innocent people and brainwashing little kids. A
big problem for me is that they are making kids fight for them and kill people for no reason.

The Chinese Cultural Revolution : China
The Chinese Cultural Revolution The history of China is a vast and extremely enriching topic.
Stretching for thousands of years, Chinese culture has been able to grow and expand thanks to the
help from others. Between the 13th and the 20th centuries especially, China has a multicultural and
ethnical revolution. There is not just one thing that sets off this expansion, but multiple factors that
will be discussed in detail through out this essay thanks to the Cambridge Illustrated Edition of
China and The Travels of Marco Polo the Venetian. The Mongol invasion, Marco Polo, and the Qing
Dynasty are all factors that lead to this cultural revolution. Chinggis (aka Ghengis) Khan is the most
predominant name that comes to mind when Mongols are talked about, but it is his son (Ogodei)
and his grandson (Khubilai) who are the reason the Chinese experience the multicultural and
ethnical diversity during this time. Upon his death, Chinggis's conquerings are divided into four
territories with Ogodei, gaining control of Mongolia. He gains control of Northern China when "in
1234 he crushed the Jin" (Ebrey 170). This is a big step for the Mongols and by "1236 he had taken
all but four of the 58 districts in Sichuan, previously held by the Song" (Ebrey 170). For any other
nation with a big army this is not an impressive feat, but the Mongols are not like the other big

The Great Wall Of China
The Great Wall of China is known as the largest construction project to be put in effect in all of
world history. The wall, also known in China as "long wall of 10,000 li," is a collection of numerous
short walls extending along the crest of hills on the southern edge of the Mongolian plain. Although
it is a common misconception that the Great Wall of China is one long continuous wall, it 's
structural inconsistency in no way undermines its greatness. The wall has been built, destructed,
rebuilt, and maintained for a massive amount of time dating back to the fifth century BC and has
been worked upon through the 16th century AD. The wall is regarded as the world 's largest human–
made structure and stretches approximately 6,400 kilometers, or 4,000 miles. It also holds the record
for largest human–structure ever made in terms of surface area and mass. The history of China and
its ruling dynasties was quite sporadic, resulting in an amazing tale to be told for the coming about

continued with intention to protect the northern borders of China 's empires. This construction took
place throughout the rule of successive dynasties. The wall was needed only to conceal China 's

The Han Empire chose to overtax the overwhelmingly large peasant class which instigated an
enormous peasant rebellion led by the Yellow Turbans, a Daoist religious sect who opposed the over
taxation of peasantry and attempted to form a "Golden Age". In the Roman Empire, taxation slowly
became a thing of the past, as the Romans decreasing population failed to pay taxes at all during
hard times. As the Roman population decreased due to famine, disease, and the upper classes
producing less offspring due to their quest for a pleasure–seeking life, soldiers were becoming
scarcer, and the overall economy declined. Factors such as taxing and nomadic invasions weakened
both societies economically, though both civilizations dealt with taxing differently, causing different
effects. In both civilizations, epidemics broke out within the population. Public baths, sewage
systems, and human–animal contact caused diseases such as malaria, smallpox, measles, and the
bubonic plague to wipe out entire populations. In addition, both suffered a cultural decay
intellectually. Roman scholars wrote textbooks summarizing already discovered information instead
of developing new ideas. During that time, Romans became increasingly focused on pleasure
seeking, turning away from political and economic ideas that once shaped their civilization.

The Importance Of Adolescent Privacy In The Media And...
Adolescent privacy is commonly invaded by parents that monitor their children's media content with
the intent to keep them on track. However, are these observations as helpful as the parents consider
it? A few articles and studies show that while it may be a cautious step from the parents to keep
children safe, the lack of privacy may emit many other emotions and pressures from adolescents that
could make the situations worse (Mullen 166 & Padilla–Walker et al. 1153). With the use of case
studies and articles, this essay will address the privacy concerns of adolescents and the importance
of regulating media content by parental monitoring. The term media should be taken in the context
of television, video games, social media, and the internet. I will argue that parental media
monitoring can help parents supervise their children, promote positive behaviour, and provide
disciplined upbringing while maintaining adolescences independence and aiding them to develop
advanced practical skills that will come in use in a media–run world. Parental monitoring is one of
the most useful techniques to supervise children's media content in the effort to protect them from
bad influences and wrong decisions; although, the biggest drawback is that monitoring diminishes
privacy for adolescents. Supervision allows the parents or guardians to control and limit specific
content that deems to be inappropriate for their children, especially in today's generation; for

People: An Invasive Species, Victims of Invasion Themselves
In Homer's Odyssey, translated by Robert Fagles, invasions of different natures are prevalent, two of
such being a mental invasion by means of a drug, and the other, a parasitic invasion driven by greed.
Invasion, a very broad term, can be coined to a multitude of things and even ideas, especially in our
modern culture. Invasions in the Odyssey inform us about the moral principles of Ancient Greek
society, that which we can compare to a modern American citizen's morals by examining the
numerous invasions within our society, such as drug abuse, and invasion of privacy. Through usage
of a drug, Helen invades her husband 's mind, as drugs invade the minds of people among us. Upon

Menelaus has acquired. Upon comparing Menelaus to a god, he quickly dismisses the idea and tells

At first, Buddhism received positive responses (Documents 2 and 3) and indifferent responses

because Buddhism rejected the social hierarchy favored by government officials.
Buddhism gained converts and popularity during a time of instability before and after the Han
dynasty collapsed in 220 C.E. During this time responses toward the religion were positive and
encouraging, as it provided consolation to the Chinese during a distressing time period. Zhi Dun, a

coverage of tragedies and catastrophes. The best example that can be sighted is that of September
11, the recent and last Gulf War, the crash of Concorde in France and so on. There is so much of
noise in the air and the exposure is so excessive and heavy that one does not even realize the
difference. It almost kills our sensibilities and our feeling of involvement and our sense of what it
means to be human is limited to what we see or witness second hand or first hand while sitting in
our lounges at our homes. Privacy and publicity has a very thin and fine line but in case of
Television where does one begin and the other end? That is the answer that eludes us still. Was it not
the media that cashed out and some believe even led to the death of Princess Diana. Same were the

Art During The Qing Dynasty
The art during the Qing dynasty was very different from those throughout China. During the Qing
Dynasty art was coveted over greatly. Many people respected art during this Time. There were many
scholars, poets, painters, and potters during this time that took their work very seriously. Painters
during this time were either individualist or traditionalist. They focused in wars and what was going
on in the real world, other than what people wanted to see. The Manchus, who had already adopted
many Chinese practices before ruling as the Qing, continued to show respect for Chinese art that
was based on the study of old styles and masters. Literati painting in the Qing thus became orthodox
and stereotyped, especially as represented by the prestigious "Four Wangs" of the late seventeenth
and early eighteenth ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Chinese ceramics made a very significant impact on the rest of the world. China's long history of
advanced ceramic technique culminated in the perfection of smooth white and green celadon in the
Song and true porcelain in the Ming. Ceramic was appreciated as some object d'art by both court
and literati. Art historians have generally regarded the nineteenth century in Chinese art as a period
of stasis, if not decline, but this characterization may be oversimplified. The cultural changes that
slowly began to influence Chinese artists at the end of the Qing dynasty can best be understood by
reviewing the dark period that began with foreign invasions and civil wars in the mid–nineteenth
century. After the First Opium War of 1839–1842 the Chinese conceded five treaty ports where
foreigners could live and trade. The opening of treaty ports brought new visions of the world
through books, magazines, technologies, and materials. Photography and various printing

Before 1959, a massive gender inequality was prevailed in the Tibetan society. (Makley, 2005) has
stated that as per the Tibetan culture, the male body was regarded as a result of good work and the
female body a result of one's lower work. Key‐man, a Tibetan word for woman literally means
inferior or lower birth. This suggests that a male child was preferred over a female child in Tibetan

Korean Interaction With China
One difference in the ways Korea and Japan engaged in regional interactions with China between
500 CE and 1500 CE was that Chinese values were forced onto Korean people whereas Japan's
adoption of Chinese practices was voluntary. Korean interaction with China led to the spread of
Confucianism in China, which imposed strong restrictions on Korean people, especially women.
Chinese ideas of family structure and gender roles became prominent throughout Korea. Under the
new Confusion beliefs, traditional Korean customs were lost; for instance, funeral rituals and the
right for a widow to remarry were stripped from Korean people. In contrast, Japan adopted certain
aspects of Chinese traditions voluntarily, as opposed to through the forceful spread

The Mongols Culture
There is a type of arrogance the Chinese had which helped to create stress and conflict with non–
Chinese regions. We see this type of relationship with the Mongols and in some respect to the
Mongols fighting for and leading the Chinese. It was the Ming cultural insensitivity that instigated
the mutiny but also prevailed. A comparison may be drawn between the Indians of North America
and their relationship with the United States and China's relationship with the Mongols. The
American government was known to violate agreements with the Indians, and this same issue is
seen with China's violating agreements made with Altan Khan. Dang Xin's actions towards Pubei
could be seen not as one of jealously but of ethnic dislike or hatred. Even though Kenneth Swope
believes the Mongolian reaction was directed toward maladministration more so than ethnic hatred,
I would contend that the ethnic hatred is more likely from the Chinese side of the root cause. Swope
sees a contradiction in the idea of an ethnic issue and even provides the example of Chinese officers
adopting the looks and mannerisms of Mongols, this alone does not prove there was no ethnic issue.
To reach into the American issue with race, we see a similar attitude where the black population is at
time copied by the white population, including those who are considered to harbor racist thoughts.
This is found in the music, arts, and even black culture. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

corner. The genre of science fiction has made that fear even more prominent in today's society with
a plethora of movies showing a dystopian world. Popular movies like The Hunger Games bring
viewers into a world where two people every year must fight to death to show their superiority and

Although Buddhism began in India, it gradually transferred to China in the 200's. There, it was met
by mixed reviews in all classes. Some dynasties preferred its philosophy and promise of afterlife to
the rigid Confucian ideals that were previously imposed although the Chinese turned to Buddhism
for it promises of eternal enlightenment during times of hardship and invasion, the period that
followed led to many attempts to reconcile the religion with the traditional Confucianism, increasing
many views that Buddhism was a barbaric foreign invasion. The period that followed the Han

The Dalai Lama, Before, During And After The Chinese Invasion
The universally recognized 14th Dalai Lama has tirelessly fought for the freedom for Tibet, during
and after the unlawful occupation of the Chinese. His non–violence and political involvement for
Tibet had brought acknowledgment and respect from the rest of the world.
Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama, was born in 1934 in Eastern Tibet. He was hailed his
predecessor's incarnation at the age of two, and was enthroned in 1940. Traditionally, the role of the
Dalai Lama is the spiritual guide and leader of Tibet, creating a symbol of security and peace. Dalai
Lama's are rarely ever politically involved in Tibet.
His holiness fulfilled this traditional role up until 1949, when he assumed full power, as the threat of

The Dalai Lama continued to send delegations to both neighboring counties and also countries of
significant power, but all of the Dalai Lama's attempts went ignored, as China was at the time, of
great power and consequence, and an important contribution to trade. Therefore powerful countries
did not get involved with Tibet, in the fear of provoking influential China.
While the Dalai Lama remained in Tibet, his life was at stake. Tibet slowly went into a cataclysmic
effect of destruction and disorder. The freedom of speech was now lost to the Tibetan people,
freedom marches and movements were banned, the result in not complying with this unjust system
was death or brutal imprisonment for years at a time. Even though these protests were violently
suppressed by the Communist government and martial law was imposed in 1989, demonstrations
against Chinese rule have nevertheless continued.
Following "Tibet's Liberation," Mao Zedong immediately established the Seventeen–Point System,
which totally eliminated Tibet's past independence. Since then, almost one and a half million people
in Tibet have been slain, and over six thousand religious buildings have been demolished. These
horrific figures have shocked the world and brought about a great sense of remorse and compassion

By 100 C.E., Buddhism founded in India in the 6th century B.C.E was brought to China, gradually
winning converts following the collapse of the Han dynasty in 220 C.E., but responses to the spread
of Buddhism in China differed. Some faction of people didn't see the spread of Buddhism as a threat
they saw it as what it was, a religion brought to China even though it not an aspect of China,it still
should be respected differed from faction of people who saw the spread of Buddhism as barbaric
invasion and just overusing China, but to add some factions of people saw Buddhism as a good
religion that differed from Confucianism in China but are both valued religions that have similar

like comparing a white deer to a unicorn, or a swallow to a phoenix.'' This show that people didn't
see Buddhism as threat but just something different from Chinese religious beliefs, saw it as another

New technology has been invading organizations as well. The workers of the organizations are also
at a high risk. "Technology enhances the ability of organizations to monitor individuals" and what
they do on the job (Regan 2). If they do something on the computer or phone, the possibility of
someone else knowing is always there. With this problem growing, it makes workers feel
uncomfortable and unsafe with every move they make.
In order to feel safer about using a computer, there are some precautions that may be taken to
prevent any potential hacking or privacy invasion. Firewalls may be set up to "prevent any

to allow administrators to find any vulnerability in a system. Hackers have used this to look at
important files and documents that are confidential (webopedia).

The Chinese Tribute System And The Imjin War
At the turn of the 17th Century, East Asia was the center of the world: the recent entrance of
Europeans brought cheaper silver along with a novel religion and great advances in technology,
such as in clocks, glass technology and cannons. The Chinese tribute system had governed foreign
affairs in the region since the Tang Dynasty (618–907), other than the long interruption caused by
the Mongols, who nevertheless adapted certain attributes in their diplomacy. The Imjin War (1592–
1598) posed a serious challenge to the tribute system, led by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the unifier of
Japan. The Japanese invading force had been forged in the previous century of sengoku and arrived
with the advantage of surprise, as well as a stunning superiority in weaponry (including European
arquebuses used earlier in the century to devastating effect against the Aztecs and Incas) and
experience. Even so, the Imjin War proved a massive success for the Ming and showed the strength
of the tribute system in the face of strong opposition. In particular, Korean awe of China, the rules
of the tribute system and the Japanese failure in this imperial invasion demonstrate the strong
position China found itself in at this pivotal moment for East Asia.
Within the tribute system, the Koreans sought to rank highest in submission to China. They
followed Chinese precedent and used historical records and maps as evidence in border disputes, as
well as recognizing the records and maps of others.[1] By following the rules of the tribute system,
Chosǒn sought to imitate the Ming. One Korean traveler to China, Pak Chiwǒn, who visited after
the fall of the Ming, remarked on Chinese technological superiority, in particular in architecture and
manufacturing.[2] The size of a small Chinese border town, as well as the quality of the goods in
such a remote region, impressed Pak Chiwǒn.[3] Even though he is clear to criticize the Qing, Pak
cannot help but comment on the flourishing economy and excellent quality of architecture. Finally,
the Koreans of the Chosǒn dynasty saw themselves as the son, and China as the father.[4] The
Koreans followed the rules of the tribute system, followed the Confucian ideal of filial piety, and

Comparing Daoism, Confucianism, And Legalism In Classical...
Three of the major religious philosophies in Classical China were Daoism, Confucianism, and
Legalism. Daoism was a religious philosophy that the upper class favored to strengthen their
traditional Chinese beliefs, especially those relating to nature. Daoism told people to have harmony
with nature by living frugally and with humility. On the other hand, Confucianism was centered
around ethics. Confucianism's main teachings were to treat others based on both of your positions in
society and it did not discuss magic or mysteries, but instead made sure that everyone understood
their place in society. Legalism, another system of political thought, consisted of an authoritarian
state and strict rule. Legalists believed that human nature was bad and needed to be controlled. In a
Legalist state, the army was in control while the people worked. Although these teaching were are
very different, they were all found in Classical China. The Chinese state and its political institutions
developed over time. First of all, even though the Zhou dynasty lacked a strong government, they
discouraged previous religious practices such as human sacrifice, they promoted a standard
language, and took over the Yangtze River valley which provided new territory and food. After the

  • 2. Essay about The Chinese Invasion and the Rape of Tibet The Chinese Invasion and the Rape of Tibet "All I want is for my people to be happy and free from suffering". This is what the Dali Lama has stated to be his only wishes for the people of Tibet, what should be referred to as their basic human right. Over one million Tibetans have died since 1959; the deaths are a direct result of the Chinese occupation, either through harsh prison conditions, summary executions or starvation.[1] In the years since the Chinese government has taken over Tibet, Tibetans still in the country and those living in exile in Darsalma, India, have depended on the assistance of others for basic needs such as health care and education.

They are focused on rebuilding infrastructure and similar expenditures which are insignificant when people are dieing. From my research I have discovered that China and International Governments are only interested in Tibet as an economic center. Although they do give money to the Tibetans, and some Tibetans are happy, China is leading a cultural genocide in Tibet by demolishing the Tibetan culture for those Tibetans who still remain in the country. Forty–Five years after China's takeover, Tibetans are still facing the same social issues they did in 1959.[2] I believe for any changes to occur within Tibet, International Governments need to begin to pressure China for the end of their oppression and cultural genocide of the Tibetan people, instead of promoting it by giving to China's projects for Tibet's economy. Education Three key sociological components which are essential for Tibetans to receive the happiness which the Dali Lama wants for them are education, the right to practice their culture, and health care. Historically in Tibet, the most important knowledge was Buddhism and children would go to the monasteries to learn.[3] There were no real schools, in the western sense of the word, there was no need.[4] People became herdsmen and monks, therefore an education was irrelevant.

  • 3. Ap World History Dbq Essay In order to seek for profit, British merchants never stopped illegal behavior in China. Even after Lin Zexue sent a letter to Queen Victoria, British merchants still continued their business regardless of the laws in China2. During the process of prohibiting the opium trade in some of Chinese coastal cities, the conflict of interests between Chinese government and British merchants had become more and more severe. According to the document, British troops started to attack the forts at Taikok and Shakok [paragraph 2, line 3 to 4], and they invaded the inner river and besieged the provincial city [paragraph 3, line 1 to 2]. Taking into account of the lives of Chinese people, the emperor made an unusual concession, hoping that British troops would abstain from creating further troubles [paragraph 3, line 7 to 9]. However, contrary to Daoguang's expectations, the British troop continued to offend Chinese territories [paragraph 4, line 2 to 4]. In Daoguang's view, it was their concession at the beginning that led to the invasion of the British troop. Whereas he neglected one of the important reasons of the British invasion: Britain's desire of opening the Chinese market in search for higher profits was restricted by the Chinese laws and policies3. In response to the British invasion, Chinese government dispatched Yikin and others to defend British troops with their own troops [paragraph 5, line 1]. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

  • 6. How Did East Asia Change Over Time East Asia currently consists of China, Japan, North Korea, South Korea, Mongolia, and Taiwan. During the time period of 600 C.E. – 1450, which is also known as time period 3, this geographic region underwent numerous changes, some of which were political, economic, social, and religious. Nonetheless, several continuities relative to these matters were experienced as well. For example, East Asia experienced political changes in China, when the Tang dynasty fell and the Song dynasty arose in its place, in Japan, when the emperor was replaced by the shogun, and in Korea, when Korea, under the rule of the Silla, was made a vassal of the Chinese. Changes also occurred when the power in China fell into the hands of the Mongols as they established ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Another breakthrough was the invention of gunpowder, which was highly underrated at that time. Technology also showed vast improvements in this era, which was demonstrated by the use of the abacus in counting, the compass in maritime navigation, and the development of movable type in printing. Along with these political and economic changes, some social changes occurred, one of which was the integration of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism, which gave birth to the religion of Neo–Confucianism. The heavy imitation of Chinese culture by the Japanese also shifted course, as Japan began to forge its own path and develop its own culture. However, Japan wasn't the only country borrowing elements of Chinese culture; Korea produced Celadon pottery by altering Chinese porcelain. On the other hand, some social continuities within East Asia during time period 3 were the continuation in the belief of Shinto and Confucianism in Japan and China and the emphasis on patriarchal families. Because of the patriarchal culture, foot binding was also a popular constant, although during certain dynasties its use increased. A political continuity was the threat of invasion from the nomads in the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

As I said before the 2003 invasion of Iraq is the main cause of them starting. Another problem though is how they are able to afford all of the guns and other weapons. They do this by stealing ancient artifacts and selling it all over the world. According to the wall street journal " While it's impossible to know how much money these stolen artifacts provide to ISIS annually –– estimates range from the low tens of millions by Mr. Danti to $100 million by another French security official –– the income is considered noteworthy."(Faucon, Benoit,Georgi Kantchev, and Alistair MacDonald 1). As you can see this group is making crazy amounts of money every year, and this is how they are able to buy all of the guns and explosives to carry out these acts of terror. This is a big problem that needs to be stopped so they can stop making money to perform these terror attacks on innocent civilians. Now to the effects that ISIS has on this world. They have caused many problems in the world such as killing innocent people and brainwashing little kids. A big problem for me is that they are making kids fight for them and kill people for no reason. According to Nancy Youssef "Experts place the number of ISIS child soldiers at 3,000, while tens of thousands are believed to have received training and indoctrination in ISIS camps and schools in Iraq and Syria."(Youssef 1).

  • 10. The Chinese Cultural Revolution : China The Chinese Cultural Revolution The history of China is a vast and extremely enriching topic. Stretching for thousands of years, Chinese culture has been able to grow and expand thanks to the help from others. Between the 13th and the 20th centuries especially, China has a multicultural and ethnical revolution. There is not just one thing that sets off this expansion, but multiple factors that will be discussed in detail through out this essay thanks to the Cambridge Illustrated Edition of China and The Travels of Marco Polo the Venetian. The Mongol invasion, Marco Polo, and the Qing Dynasty are all factors that lead to this cultural revolution. Chinggis (aka Ghengis) Khan is the most predominant name that comes to mind when Mongols are talked about, but it is his son (Ogodei) and his grandson (Khubilai) who are the reason the Chinese experience the multicultural and ethnical diversity during this time. Upon his death, Chinggis's conquerings are divided into four territories with Ogodei, gaining control of Mongolia. He gains control of Northern China when "in 1234 he crushed the Jin" (Ebrey 170). This is a big step for the Mongols and by "1236 he had taken all but four of the 58 districts in Sichuan, previously held by the Song" (Ebrey 170).

The wall, also known in China as "long wall of 10,000 li," is a collection of numerous short walls extending along the crest of hills on the southern edge of the Mongolian plain. Although it is a common misconception that the Great Wall of China is one long continuous wall, it 's structural inconsistency in no way undermines its greatness. The wall has been built, destructed, rebuilt, and maintained for a massive amount of time dating back to the fifth century BC and has been worked upon through the 16th century AD. The wall is regarded as the world 's largest human– made structure and stretches approximately 6,400 kilometers, or 4,000 miles. It also holds the record for largest human–structure ever made in terms of surface area and mass. The history of China and its ruling dynasties was quite sporadic, resulting in an amazing tale to be told for the coming about of China 's most famous, interesting landmark. The construction of the Great Wall began and continued with intention to protect the northern borders of China 's empires. This construction took place throughout the rule of successive dynasties.

The Han Empire chose to overtax the overwhelmingly large peasant class which instigated an enormous peasant rebellion led by the Yellow Turbans, a Daoist religious sect who opposed the over taxation of peasantry and attempted to form a "Golden Age". In the Roman Empire, taxation slowly became a thing of the past, as the Romans decreasing population failed to pay taxes at all during hard times. As the Roman population decreased due to famine, disease, and the upper classes producing less offspring due to their quest for a pleasure–seeking life, soldiers were becoming scarcer, and the overall economy declined. Factors such as taxing and nomadic invasions weakened both societies economically, though both civilizations dealt with taxing differently, causing different effects. In both civilizations, epidemics broke out within the population. Public baths, sewage systems, and human–animal contact caused diseases such as malaria, smallpox, measles, and the bubonic plague to wipe out entire populations. In addition, both suffered a cultural decay intellectually. Roman scholars wrote textbooks summarizing already discovered information instead of developing new ideas. During that time, Romans became increasingly focused on pleasure seeking, turning away from political and economic ideas that once shaped their civilization. Confucian scholars in Han China became less creative and centered also, causing social and political decline in Confucian philosophies. However; when ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 17. The Importance Of Adolescent Privacy In The Media And... Adolescent privacy is commonly invaded by parents that monitor their children's media content with the intent to keep them on track. However, are these observations as helpful as the parents consider it? A few articles and studies show that while it may be a cautious step from the parents to keep children safe, the lack of privacy may emit many other emotions and pressures from adolescents that could make the situations worse (Mullen 166 & Padilla–Walker et al. 1153). With the use of case studies and articles, this essay will address the privacy concerns of adolescents and the importance of regulating media content by parental monitoring. The term media should be taken in the context of television, video games, social media, and the internet. I will argue that parental media monitoring can help parents supervise their children, promote positive behaviour, and provide disciplined upbringing while maintaining adolescences independence and aiding them to develop advanced practical skills that will come in use in a media–run world. Parental monitoring is one of the most useful techniques to supervise children's media content in the effort to protect them from bad influences and wrong decisions; although, the biggest drawback is that monitoring diminishes privacy for adolescents. Supervision allows the parents or guardians to control and limit specific content that deems to be inappropriate for their children, especially in today's generation; for example, "adolescents may be ...

  • 18. People : An Invasive Species, Victims Of Invasion Themselves People: An Invasive Species, Victims of Invasion Themselves In Homer's Odyssey, translated by Robert Fagles, invasions of different natures are prevalent, two of such being a mental invasion by means of a drug, and the other, a parasitic invasion driven by greed. Invasion, a very broad term, can be coined to a multitude of things and even ideas, especially in our modern culture. Invasions in the Odyssey inform us about the moral principles of Ancient Greek society, that which we can compare to a modern American citizen's morals by examining the numerous invasions within our society, such as drug abuse, and invasion of privacy. Through usage of a drug, Helen invades her husband 's mind, as drugs invade the minds of people among us. Upon arrival at Menelaus's palace, Telemachus and Pisistratus are in awe at the massive amount of wealth, Menelaus has acquired.

I went to a neighborhood Starbucks and proceeded to invade the personal space of a stranger sitting at a table with his laptop. I also tried talking within close proximity of someone just to see their reaction, but the results of the Starbucks experiment brought about greater output.

Later, Buddhism received negative and unfavorable scrutiny (Documents 4 and 6) after the Tang dynasty was established since it blamed Buddhism for social/political problems because Buddhism rejected the social hierarchy favored by government officials.

But the major role TV has taken upon itself is to inform the public about almost everything. There is hardly a channel or network that does not cover this issue or that one. Nothing escapes the media. But has it really been that efficient that it has been able to control and inform about these natural and human generated tragedies? Of late the opinion has been that TV goes too far in its detailed coverage of tragedies and catastrophes. The best example that can be sighted is that of September 11, the recent and last Gulf War, the crash of Concorde in France and so on. There is so much of noise in the air and the exposure is so excessive and heavy that one does not even realize the difference. It almost kills our sensibilities and our feeling of involvement and our sense of what it means to be human is limited to what we see or witness second hand or first hand while sitting in our lounges at our homes.

We see this type of relationship with the Mongols and in some respect to the Mongols fighting for and leading the Chinese. It was the Ming cultural insensitivity that instigated the mutiny but also prevailed. A comparison may be drawn between the Indians of North America and their relationship with the United States and China's relationship with the Mongols. The American government was known to violate agreements with the Indians, and this same issue is seen with China's violating agreements made with Altan Khan. Dang Xin's actions towards Pubei could be seen not as one of jealously but of ethnic dislike or hatred. Even though Kenneth Swope believes the Mongolian reaction was directed toward maladministration more so than ethnic hatred, I would contend that the ethnic hatred is more likely from the Chinese side of the root cause. Swope sees a contradiction in the idea of an ethnic issue and even provides the example of Chinese officers adopting the looks and mannerisms of Mongols, this alone does not prove there was no ethnic issue.

The Chinese Tribute System And The Imjin War At the turn of the 17th Century, East Asia was the center of the world: the recent entrance of Europeans brought cheaper silver along with a novel religion and great advances in technology, such as in clocks, glass technology and cannons. The Chinese tribute system had governed foreign affairs in the region since the Tang Dynasty (618–907), other than the long interruption caused by the Mongols, who nevertheless adapted certain attributes in their diplomacy. The Imjin War (1592– 1598) posed a serious challenge to the tribute system, led by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the unifier of Japan. The Japanese invading force had been forged in the previous century of sengoku and arrived with the advantage of surprise, as well as a stunning superiority in weaponry (including European arquebuses used earlier in the century to devastating effect against the Aztecs and Incas) and experience. Even so, the Imjin War proved a massive success for the Ming and showed the strength of the tribute system in the face of strong opposition. In particular, Korean awe of China, the rules of the tribute system and the Japanese failure in this imperial invasion demonstrate the strong position China found itself in at this pivotal moment for East Asia. Within the tribute system, the Koreans sought to rank highest in submission to China. They followed Chinese precedent and used historical records and maps as evidence in border disputes, as well as recognizing the records and maps of others.[1] By following the rules of the tribute system, Chosǒn sought to imitate the Ming. One Korean traveler to China, Pak Chiwǒn, who visited after the fall of the Ming, remarked on Chinese technological superiority, in particular in architecture and manufacturing.[2] The size of a small Chinese border town, as well as the quality of the goods in such a remote region, impressed Pak Chiwǒn.[3] Even though he is clear to criticize the Qing, Pak cannot help but comment on the flourishing economy and excellent quality of architecture.

Daoism was a religious philosophy that the upper class favored to strengthen their traditional Chinese beliefs, especially those relating to nature. Daoism told people to have harmony with nature by living frugally and with humility. On the other hand, Confucianism was centered around ethics. Confucianism's main teachings were to treat others based on both of your positions in society and it did not discuss magic or mysteries, but instead made sure that everyone understood their place in society. Legalism, another system of political thought, consisted of an authoritarian state and strict rule. Legalists believed that human nature was bad and needed to be controlled. In a Legalist state, the army was in control while the people worked. Although these teaching were are very different, they were all found in Classical China. The Chinese state and its political institutions developed over time.
