    Ib History Ia: Why Did Mao Intervene in the Korean War?

    The research question that will be addressed is: Why did Mao decide to intervene in the Korean War (1950-53)? As far as the scope is concerned, I will be looking at the three major reasons behind Mao’s intervention in the war: Mao’s need of Soviet support, apprehension of American aggression, and his obligation to help North Korea. Thus, to achieve accuracy and depth in my research, I used relevant secondary sources such as books written by reputable authors with expert knowledge in history of modern China such as Spence, Fenby and Cumings, and also used journal articles. I followed a chronological approach in the summary of evidence, and a thematic approach in the analysis.…

    West Indian Literature Is Much More Colourful and Reflects Greater Analytical Depth Than That of English Literature

    It is often said that “the grass is greener on the other side.” For many which is located closer to us or that which we have become more accustom to often appear to be of lesser value and totally depreciated. The veracity of this observation is definitely pertinent as we look comparatively at the literary perspectives locally, and that which is regarded as foreign. English Literature is much more colourful and has greater analytical depth than West Indian Literature. This view is certainly myopic. It’s only with a closer look at what we have in the West Indies we will come to realize the real beauty and intellectual excellence we have right here in our own back yard. The truthfulness of this enlighten perspective will be fully borne out as we incisively compare and contrast excerpts of the literary works of writers and poets from two different climes- one which is emblazon by colourful sunshine, and the other chilled by wintry winds. One is cognizant that to deal with all three genres will be exhausting. Hence, because of the time and space only two genres will be the focus of this paper.…
