Mulan
1.The film Mulan taught us, that the family relationship grows stronger or weaker depending on the honour that is given by the child. When Mulan, got turned down by the matchmaker, her bond with her father and mother got weak, but when Mulan returned from the war, and brought the home the Emperor's pendant and the Hun's sword , the bond between her parents and her got stronger. In Ancient China, they believed, that if you worshipped, the families ancestors, that would bring good luck upon them.

Girls should follow all these quality’s these days because most girls are the exact opposite. Most girls who are Mulan�80�s age are nearly always disruptive, disobedient and disrespectful. They lie most of the time, are never on time and never appreciates anything. These are why I think these are good qualities girls should aspire.

3. Mulan, obeyed and also disobeyed with the pillar of responsibility. She obeyed it by doing her best. When she was a war, she did her best at everything. An example of this was when, she had to climb the pole with the two weights on her wrists. She kept trying and trying, to get to the top, and in the end she did. She also disobeyed the pillar of responsibility at times too. One time she did was when she preteneded she was a boy, and didnt think before she acted. Because she didnt think before she acted, she could have been beheaded by the prince.

4. Mulan shouldnt have let her father, as sick as he was to go to war. Mulan's father was so sick, that when he was practicing, he was struggling and fell. This showed that Mulans father was very sick, and if he

    In Ancient Rome, loyalty to family and state was highly important. The nobles of Rome were constantly reminded to be aware of their fathers and grandfathers successes. We know this because the term pietas; meaning “dutifulness”; depicts these values. Also, we know of these the importance of family because typically at a Roman funeral, they would exhibit masks’ of their ancestors and their deeds. This regard to ancestors resembles that of Confucianism, which was highly practiced in Han China. The core of Confucianism was known as “filial piety”, meaning the respect and obedience that children owed their…

    The country I chose to write about is China. The Chinese culture is one that has been forming for centuries due to the country’s rich history. China has always been known as a communist country, but recently it has been phasing out those practices and replacing them with capitalist practices. A custom that is very relevant in their culture is their emphasis on family lineage. Many men are expected to marry in order to carry on their family names (Hitton). This custom pressured women into giving birth to male children so that the family name could be passed on (Hitton). Family respect is also important to their culture. The elders of the family are always honored and obeyed above other members. Due to their communist history, group work has a bigger emphasis than individual work (Hitton). For example, if one fails to…

    When people are asked who gave the most favors to them, it must be their parents; without the parents, they could not be fed when they were young and also they would not be able to even exist now.

As a result, those being treated negligently parents are sometimes isolated from their children and even from society.

    When Mulan finally meets the Matchmaker, the Matchmaker observes Mulan on how she acts and speaks. She makes Mulan recite the Final Admonition, which states “Fulfill your duties calmly and respectfully. Reflect before you act. This shall bring you honor and glory.” The only purpose for Mulan or any women is to bring glory to the family by marrying a person who will help the family, not destroy its reputation. Women are to act fairly and wisely and know how what actions they are acting. By following all these rules, glory will come to all women. This is also further proven in Alexander M. Bruce’s journal, “The Role of the "Princess" in Walt Disney's Animated Films: Reactions of College Students,” where he claims that the role of Disney Princess…

    What has happened to Confucianism. For a long time, Confucian was accepted as the idea that a healthy society depended on a solid traditional family. Confucius himself, for example, called for people to put principle above selfish desires. People supported hierarchy. The rulers moral example would inspire the people to live good lives. But one begins to detect a new theme emerging in society especially amongst the Chinese reformers: the theme of individualism oppose to familialism. Today, would the Confucian family be more and more aware of abuse to women and children? The rituals and traditions can be seen as both positive and negative.

    Fairy tales have been a long tradition in almost all cultures, starting as oral traditions to and gradually evolving into written texts intended for future generations to enjoy. Today, a common medium for relaying these ancient stories is through animation. The Walt Disney Company is probably the most well known for its animated portrayals of many classic fairy tales. These fairy tales are considered, by fairy tale researcher Justyna Deszcz to be "cultural institutions, which exist within an institutional framework of production, distribution, and reception, as well as fulfilling specific social functions, such as the preservation of the cultural heritage of a given country." The majority of these Disney fairy tales are derivatives of European stories. However, in 1998 Disney opened its first animated feature with an Asian theme in both the United States and Asia. Disney 's Mulan seems to stray from the traditional structure of a Disney fairytale, those which have a "relatively uncomplicated sequence of adventures, revolving around impeccably positive characters, who, depending on their gender, either conquer evil or passively wait to be rescued" (Deszcz). Disney 's Mulan was aimed to please both the Asian and modern American markets. However, the Walt Disney Company fails to completely step away from its established model in terms of portrayals of minorities, Western depictions of men being dominant in the fairy-tale world, and a woman 's ultimate role and happiness being conditional on men. Mulan continues to promote Disney 's idea of Western cultures as being ideal and its sexist views regarding women.…

    Women are portrayed as quiet, obedient, beautiful, and fragile, and therefore, not fit for war. For example, Yao implies that women are helpless with his statement, “And there’s nothing you girls can do about it.” Another man who consistently puts down women is Chi-Fu. He acts defensive when he teased that he squeals like a girl, and that comment itself is constructed as an insult. Chi-Fu brushes off the fact that Mulan saved Shang and killed most of the Huns simply because it is revealed that she is a woman: “I knew there was something wrong with you. A woman! Treacherous snake.” Chi-Fu declares that women have no real value after Shang defends Mulan’s title as a hero. Furthermore, the soldiers sing a song about the girl who is worth going to battle for. They talk about her physical appearance, her admiration of his body and strength, her cooking skills, and her resolution that he is perfect. Even Mushu joins in by whistling at the women who work in the rice patty fields. Mulan counters these expectations by suggesting a girl who has a brain and speaks her mind, and they all respond with “nah.” Mushu constantly reminds Mulan that she is a woman and implies that she cannot do anything because of that fact. According to him, he’s the one who is teaching her how to act like a man and thus keeping her alive; however, everything that Mushu teaches her usually backfires and creates tension…
