    The story shows the extreme regimentation of life in the crowded city and gives us insights into a carefully controlled culture where housing, education, moving people forcibly from rural to urban areas, the doling out of jobs, are all controlled by the central bureaucracy of the government. This is a rather generous portrait of Chinese Communism (also called "Maoism" in the past). Near the end of the story, Chen Xin stands looking at a fountain that he loved as a child. Once there was a statue of a mother and two children there. It no longer stands there, a subtle allusion to the fact that China has long pursued a policy of zero population growth. Families with more than one child are fined and public art that sends any other message is not allowed.…

    Red Scarf Girl Summary

    The Cultural Revolution that took place in the 1960’s and 70’s had a major impact on the citizens of China, and is represented throughout literature in a multitude of ways, as shown in the passages Red Scarf Girl and China’s Cultural Revolution. With these differentiating ideas used in both passages, people who learn about this topic can thoroughly understand these facts on deep emotional levels if there are ways to get a full picture of the historical events that took place. In other words, since there are different points of view, different attitudes towards the alteration, and different displays of how the authors describe these developments in history, readers can fully grasp the concept that is the Chinese Cultural Revolution.…

    Political Compass

    • 1640 Words
    • 7 Pages

    “Bury yourself in pity, doubt, poverty, shame and disgust. Become that of which you are surrounded by, be what everyone wants you to be, NOTHING! He’ll never amount to anything” they would always say, “he will just end up to be just like his mother, a beat down, drug addict, alcoholic Mexican, living under the poverty line, scraping for food and money just to get by.” But he refuses, he will not be THIS, he will not be labeled and categorized simply because society deems him to do nothing more than to follow the steps of those who raised him. Through tear-filled eyes and blurred words, he prays each and every night to GOD to make him something better, to take away this anger and resentment that fills his soul for being a “broke Mexican in McAllen Texas”. He no longer wants to be the one made fun of- the one who wishes that one day mommy will be in to give him a kiss goodnight, instead of the usual routine of him dragging her alcohol and drug infested corpse into her bed. School and sports are his home. They are an escape from reality and his other life. He excels in all he does and even graduates from high school with a scholarship to wrestle in college but, as always, must return early to protect the one who gave him life- his mother. Though saddened by the circumstances, he does not allow this to hold him back; he refuses to fall back into this never ending spiral of who and what he is supposed to be. Now in my third year into college I was asked to analyze my political compass and to interpret why I stand where I do in terms of economics and authority.…

    The use of demonizing the enemy, along with the significance of the two skulls to show the cruel and unjust rule goes very well, and hand and hand with getting the public to hate the enemy. The colonization aspect depicted with the kingdoms is to me one of the strongest points made in this poster. The dispute and race to gain the most land has been the reason of countless wars throughout history of mankind. In a time of imperialism and colonization tensions were high among many counties. Germany at the time had colonized Africa, taken land from France, and extended east at the beginning of the war. The Great War had tremendous effects on the future of propaganda. It set a basis for many years to come on how propaganda would affect not only wars but many movements for the future to…

    China's View of Foreigners

    The ‘Boxer Rebellion’ also shows why China hated foreigners. ‘Boxers’ were a Chinese secret society who tried to kill/kick out western powers ‘foreigners’ from China in 1900. When the Boxers failed they were executed by China’s authorities which humiliated China and the Emperor. This event also led to the Emperor’s downfall. However the worst foreign power intervention came when Japan exploited the chaos in China and invaded in 1937. The Japanese army used brutal methods to crush any resistance. The two main parties left in China – the Nationalists and the Communists were supposed to join together to fight back.…

    The movie was successful and popular, attracting large audience[2], due to the reason, as far as I see it, that it meets the Western audience’s expectation of China. The movie is full of stereotypes of China and Chinese, reflecting the orientalism’s attitudes from the West, especially from America (both written and directed by Americans) in this case.…

    “In the name of the Imperial Majesty, Emperor Hirohito, Japanese soldiers are now allowed to arrest any men thought to be soldiers. You seem to be a Chinese soldier.” spat the Japanese soldier. My heart pounded. Is Papa going to be taken away? Xiao Li squirmed next to me, impatient to understand what the soldier was saying. An odd clicking sound came from the Japanese soldier, a terrifying shine of metal following soon after. As my father moved back, I could see the object the soldier was holding was the dreaded bayonet. Its cruel tip was coated with blood, and I let out a loud gasp. The bayonet moved…
