    celebrated cases of judge dee reaction paper

    Judge Dee was a statesman to a town called Chang-Ping. He lived in the Tang Dynasty. He was known to be a famous detective and by his crime solving. The book, Celebrated Cases of Judge Dee, is broken down into three parts. This is because he is faced with three murders. The first murder, The Double Murder at Dawn, was the murder of the two silk merchants. The second murder, The Strange Corpse, was the sudden death of a young husband. Lastly, the third murder, The Poisoned Bride, was the poisoning of a bride in her nuptial chamber. As Judge Dee solves these three crimes, he also shows China’s history. During the Tang Dynasty Chinese authority was strict and laws and punishment were strictly enforced. Authority was big in their community and the people knew there would be consequences for crimes committed. This is where Judge Dee comes in, to help solve this crime. Judge Dee used many different tactics in his crime solving. He used methods such as going undercover, using underground sources, interrogation, and forensic science to solve his crimes. This isn’t much different from how we solve crimes today. We still use these same methods. We can see Judge Dee’s Asian influence when he uses religion, ghosts, and dreams to solve his crimes though. He believed in bad luck and superstitions too. Also, different from us, are their methods of torture and execution. Judge Dee even went to a graveyard to talk to the spirits of the dead. This detective work would be considered unreliable and a hoax in the western civilization.…

    Eugene V. Debs

    Nick Salvatore's book Eugene V. Debs Citizen and Socialist provides a very detailed account of the life and times and Eugene Debs. Debs was born in Terre Haute Indiana and Salvatore emphasizes the important role that this played in Debs upbringing. Terre Haute was ripe with religious fundamentalism from its founding. Religion permeated everyday life throughout Terre Haute. Salvatore writes that, "In newspaper editorials, political speeches, civic dedications and Sunday sermons they assured the kingdom of God had already arrived and that their town was destined to become the center of the Kingdoms Midwest development." It is striking how the ideals of the Terre Haute community based in religious fundamentalism and a strong industrial economy provided a seemingly Marxist critique of a capitalist system in the 1860's well before Marxist ideas had widely spread to America. Terre Haute's social construct was unique in that there was the undeniable American value of individual achievement stressed but here the role of community was necessary to achieve this. In Terre Haute it was believed that for individual prosperity the progress of the community as a whole was necessary. Salvatore explains this best himself writing, "The individual was firmly wedded to his community by both the bonds of daily life and by the expectations of future success. The ideas of individualism, self-interest and community appeared to meld." This seemingly socialist ideology that man relies on himself and his brethren for progress and success was critical to Debs' formation of his values and ideologies. Even the Superintendent of Terre Haute schools offered this, "If we shall limit the education of the masses and trust the education of the few for directive power and skill we must expect to be ruled by monopolies, demagogues and partisans" Throughout his life Debs constantly fell back on his Terre Hautian upbringing to reinforce his political values…
