Documents 2 and 3 defend and support the spread of Buddhism in China during first century C.E. Document 2 speaks of the many joys of joining the Buddhist religion. It describes how if you follow the customs of this religion, then when your “soul passes away” your spirit will become enlightened and you will enter Nirvana. However, the author, Zhi Dun, is from the upper class of China’s social structure and as such, his experiences and feelings do not tell how the lower classes citizens felt. Yet, in a time when Asian steppe nomads were invading northern China, Zhi Dun could have easily targeted Buddhism as a means of foreign corruption, but he does not.
Foreign Reactions to Western Imperialism China and Japan India and Japan’s reactions to Western imperialism was the same as in they first resisted outside control, but eventually gave in to Westernization; however, India resisted through physical methods while Japan resisted through cultural methods. Europe wanted to expand their empire to include colonies in India and to also have an influence on Japan. The building of the Suez Canal was funded and lead by Britain. The canal allowed for easier trade for the Dutch East India Company that was based in India. This new passage allowed for Western Influence to spread to the Eastern world.
Joelle Paige Enf 3/ Eng 111 Professor Ciarniello April 1, 2013 Final Draft/Compare and Contrast Essay The Karate Kid is Reborn It’s amazing to see the re-make of old movies. Whether black and white, color, style, or even how it’s directed. I have chosen two of the same movies that were produced in two different years. I was able to compare some parts and set aside the differences as well. I enjoyed both movies but in a different way when it came to the Asian philosophy and how they do things differently than the American philosophy.
The Kings were converts of Christianity just to establish closer relations with Portuguese whereas Chinese has great problems with the exclusivity of Christianity but the Jesuits were respectful of Chinese culture and won a few converts. China had an outstanding naval capacity in the early 1400s and the Chinese used a tribute system as a basis for trade and restricted access of foreign traders to Chinese markets, particularly by limiting them to specified ports under controls established by the central government. China experienced economic changes,

They were so much alike because they both were very good from the start. Some things that happened in the book, although they didn’t happen in the movie. You could really tell in both the book and movie the friendship and love with some people. If you watched the movie and read the book you might think the same thing, you might not, but here are the reasons that I think the book is better even if the movie wasn’t that bad either.
Although he did not want to be a “typical American,” Ralph’s first steps towards Americanization was when the Secretary of Foreign Student Affairs gave him the name “Ralph,” “’Ralph,’ she said finally. She wrote it down. R-A-L-P-H. ‘Do you like it?’ ‘Sure!’ He beamed!” (Jen 11). Americanization is defined as the process an immigrant goes though when they begin to adapt American cultures and values to their lives. This is important to Ralph’s story because although the initial plan for him was to study Electrical Engineering and return to China, his time in America shifts not only his ideals but also his plans for the future.
Much like the city, the Japanese copied the Chinese form of writing and Buddhism, but the commoners remained Japanese in nature. It was during the Nara period that some of the first history was recorded. Before then, many historical events were not written down. During the Nara and Heian periods, Buddhism and Shinto religions began to become more popular. In the Heian Period, the blending went so far as to recognize Buddha as coming to the Japanese through Shinto gods.
McElroy confirms this by stating that “society is brutal to those who are different.” Without speaking would be hard for Gauvin to make friends when conversation is hard for him to communicate with other kids and understand them. Sign language is a type of communication that not many young children are exposed to; therefore, sign language is strange to them when someone, such as a deaf person, uses sign to try to communicate with them. This could expose their son to be made fun of by his fellow classmates and possibly bullied and later on become isolated by them as well, and growing up all kids want to be accepted by their classmates. No one ever wants to be the outcast of any social
Censorship in television really relies on the person whom is watching either TV or a movie. But in most cases there is an underage kid who cannot watch certain things that should be censored and not all channels and movies are censored. Programs shown over television may contain offensive language or visuals, which may be harmful for the viewers like children. I believe that all programs on television should be censored by the government or a responsible group or even
“Othello” and the Discourse of “Orientalism” European distrust of alien cultures was a common thing during 1604. In “Orientalism”, Edward Said analyze the Orientalism as the source of the false cultural representations that are the foundation of Western thought towards the East, and how the West identifies the East in his book “Orientalism”. We can use Said’s theory to better understand “Othello” as a good example of an Orientalist play. Furthermore, Othello does simultaneously critique and uphold Orientalist discourses of Moors that circulated in Elizabethan England. From the ancient Greeks to the present, Edward Said has write about the European culture partially defined itself in opposite way of the Orient.
