In 1902, Lust founded the American School of Naturopathy, which taught of the healing power of nature and importance of increasing the vital force (Thiel 2000, p.3). Acupuncture is an ancient method of healing originating in China, dating back to approximately 6000 years ago to which credit cannot be given to a singular founder (Chang 1976, p.3). The oldest known text, dating back to the first century BC is the Yellow Emperor’s classic of Internal Medicine, which defines acupuncture as a valid medical system (Chang 1976, p.14). However by the time of this text, Acupuncture was already an established practice of medicine flourishing in and throughout China (Chang 1976, p.14). From these origins, both naturopathy and acupuncture have grown and advanced to the more scientific based practice they are today (Thiel 2000, p.5).
Simliar pieces to this were made in Song China [960-1279]; found in Goryeo metal prototypes. The potter who created this piece, was then replicating previous pieces like this that had been done before. However, since there is a difference of medium between the Chinese celadon and Goryeo piece, it becomes a new work upon its own, standing different from the previous pieces. The best-known example of refined, undecorated celadon produced during the first half of the twelfth century is a group of objects unearthed from the tomb of King Injong (r. 1122–46). The Fitzwilliam cup-and-stand set has a stronger blue tint in its glaze color and is not as flawless as the Injong tomb pieces, but it clearly demonstrates a comparable dedication to craftsmanship.
Translates Euclidean elements of geometry to the Chinese which even the Communist party has acknowledged as having great historical importance. He also introduced clocks to the Chinese.

Law in the People's Republic of China is currently undergoing gradual reform, as many elements inside and outside the country emphasize the need to strengthen the rule of law in China, and international trade and globalization spur transformations in various areas of Chinese domestic law. The word for law in classical Chinese was "Fa"(法) . The Chinese character for fǎ denotes a meaning of "fair", "straight" and "just", derived from its water radical. It also carries the sense of "standard, measurement, and model". Derk Bodde and Clarence Morris held that the concept of fǎ had an association with yì (義: "social rightness").
China is no exception to the effects of Americanization since economic reforms. America exports its culture to China by advanced media, especially by Hollywood movies. Hollywood movies are produced by advanced technology, excellent super stars, and attractive story design. In addition, Hollywood movies offer diversity, which uses different backgrounds from other countries, but it sometimes changes original countries’ value and adds American culture into the movie. The American movie industry makes many Chinese myths into movies with American imagination and culture such as “Kungfu Panda”.
1834 – English man William Horner's Daedalum, essentially a spinning disc and a spinnic cylinder in which a strip of sequential images are viewed. Horner's name for the device “the wheel of the devil”, which perhaps explains why it did not become popular optical toy until it was renamed in USA and UK in 1860 and renamed more positively as the Zoetrope “the wheel of life” by American developer William F. Lincoln. 1877 – Frenchman Charles – Emile Reynaud's praxinoscope improved clarity by viewing the sequence by viewing the sequence of drawing from mirrors mounted in the centre of the
BAROQUE PERIOD The Baroque period lasted from about 1600 to 1750. The Baroque style is noted for its use of exaggerated motion and rich, minute detail in order to bring out emotional intensity like drama, tension, exuberance and grandeur in painting, sculpture, architecture etc. The Oxford English Dictionary states that the term ‘baroque’ has been derived from the Portuguese word ‘barroco’, Spanish ‘barroco’ or French ‘baroque’ which all mean ‘rough or imperfect pearl’, but it can informally also mean something that is elaborate or richly detailed. The term "Baroque" was first rehabilitated by the Swiss-born art historian, Heinrich Wölfflin (1864–1945) in his Renaissance und Barock (1888); Wölfflin identified the Baroque as "movement imported into mass," an art antithetic to Renaissance art. The Baroque style was encouraged by the Roman Catholic Church which wanted works of art to portray religious themes while conveying a sense of direct emotional involvement to the viewers, as a challenge to the Protestant Reformation.

Essay on the key concepts and principles of Gestalt Theory Gestalt therapy was developed in the 1940’s by Fritz and Laura Perls. Fritz Perls was a German Jew born in 1892 who was originally psychodynamically trained; whilst working at the ‘Institute for Brain Damaged Soldiers’ in Frankfurt however, Perls met Dr Kurt Goldstein, who had developed the ‘organismic’ approach in therapy. This describes the individual’s innate drive towards wholeness, and had an important impact on the way in which Perls subsequently developed as a therapist, and his belief in a holistic approach to therapy. Around this time, Perls met his wife Laura who was also a Gestalt therapist. In the 1930’s they left Nazi Germany for South Africa where they continued to drift away from the more traditional theories of psychodynamic therapy, and instead started to embrace a much more holistic view of the individual based on the assumption that each person has all the resources for change and growth already within themselves.
