others. While appreciating the magnificent beauty of China, I discovered something deeply rooted within the society that did not agree with the harmonious propaganda promoted by the government. Devoted believers kowtowed outside the Potala Palace in Tibet surrounded by heavily armed guards, Uygur kids’ bright smiles turned into bursting tears because they were forced to learn the Chinese language, normal people petitioned in front of government…

A theocracy is a country or civilization run and ruled by religion and religious leaders. The entire community worships the same, and lives by the same religious rules and values. You can see a theocracy becoming more and more real in The Crucible by the way ones judgment and reliability is judged by their faith. It is also shown by how they bash witchcraft, something that isn’t what their religion believes in, with no more facts than it is against their beliefs. One line that stuck out me is,…

It was not until the past century though that the great wisdom studied by the enlightened one, Buddha, was shared with the world after the invasion of Tibet by China. Buddhism reveals ancient wisdom of inner peace (Seaward, 2015). In Buddhism, stress is believed to be the consequence of negative desires such as expectations, conditions, and fears. As defined by Buddhism, “desires are conditions and expectations that are associated with goals” (Seaward, 2015). Desires can be positive or negative;…

trustworthy and very limited perspective views. Tibetans created the websites I used. I believe the information on those websites are more specific and trustworthy because Tibetans are the ones who experience their culture and have the best knowledge about their culture than anyone else. They deliver the best quality information about the culture where they grew up.

The first big difference between the characters is that Rainsford is an extrovert and Zaroff is an introvert. Rainsford like to travel and hunt in many different places such as Tibet, Brazil, Uganda, and other places around the world. Zaroff did not travel anymore. He stayed in his island by himself. This allowed Zaroff to be very familiar with the island, and when time came, Rainsford had to strategize since he was not familiar…

For example, the people of Tibet rejected Communism when China came into power and reclaimed the area as part of their sovereignty. China felt that it was their duty to push reform on the people of Tibet as well as their own people. Lewis states that “the Red Guards did their best to abolish the culture and institutions of a people whom they considered backward and…

monogamy family systems can be classified to one man and one woman, two men, or two women. Where polygamy has two subtopics: polyandry and polygyny. Polyandry is marriage between one woman and many men (this is rare but does occur in locations such as Tibet) and polygyny is marriage between one man and many women . In our book on page 254 it states “A survey of 565 world societies, only 25% are monogamy and over 70% is polygynous marriage systems.” This statistic was quite fascinating! It’s…
