The gathering took the form of a protest demonstration calling for “bread and peace.” While the demonstration began peacefully, the next morning it turned violent as the women were joined by hundreds of thousands of male workers who went on strike and flooded the streets, openly calling for an end to the war and even to the monarchy. Feeding on their outrage with each passing day, the demonstrations became larger and rowdier, and the outnumbered police were unable to control the crowds. With news of the unrest, Tsar Nicholas II, who was away visiting his troops on the front, sent a telegram to Petrograd’s military commander on February 25, ordering him to bring an end to the riots by the next day. In their efforts to carry out the tsar’s order, several troops of a local guard regiment fired upon the crowds on February 26. The regiment fell into chaos, as many soldiers felt more empathy for the crowds than for the tsar.

Between May and early June 1989, more than 200,000 soldiers from the Government’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) were stationed around Beijing. During this time, the party split over how to deal with the demonstrators. A hardline faction led by Deng Xiaoping proposed martial law, while a reform faction led by Zhao Ziyang attempted to convince the students to cease their protesting peacefully. The days between the 3rd and 4th of June became the climax of the protests, gaining widespread publicity. When the crowd had refused to disperse by the 4am deadline, troops began to fire on the protesters in order to clear the square for the impending visit of USSR leader Mikhail Gorbachev.
King advises Sung to spend the brand’s sales to other regions, instead of regional population, like Ontario. According to the case, the Guard’s promotion funds have been misallocated before, and the fact that Sung received 12 percent of Guard’s sales accounted from 36 percent spent in Ontario, leads to the decision that he should not spend it all in Ontario again. King also suggested that Sung could find businesses with good sales located in Quebec and the Prairies; even though, it would not work in both countries. According to the numbers, Quebec’s consumers concentrate on buying soap, from local brands, different from Prairies’ consumers that buy deodorant bars of soap. I think that Sung should advertise its brand in a different, efficient, and effective way in Ontario and create a new strategy for the Prairies markets.

“It’s had to take a protest fully seriously when it looks like a circus – some participants seem to have taken a chute straight from Burning Man – and when its organized by Canadian magazine and a computer hacking group (Weiss). Maybe the government doesn’t want citizens to know and be informed, and that way there is less of chance of conflict, and if that’s what they might have been trying to do, it didn’t work. now there are protest growing , an article writer in The Gaurdian, Esther Addley says “The Occupy Movement went from local action to a global howl of protest, a month after its launch, more than 900 cities around the world have hosted protests affiliated to the occupy cause” (Addley). So I guess you could say that not only America but the world is coming together for something they believe
