Discuss the presentation of Stuart’s character in chapters 1-5 go on to also compare Andrea’s character to Stuart’s Stuart’s character is portrayed in the biography as an intelligent individual. Stuart wanted to make the book different so people would actually read it so his concept was to, ‘write it backwards’, this shows imagination and a clever way of thinking. Stuart’s specialised knowledge of the legal system and the institutions within them made Stuart very valuable for the release of the outreach workers. He pointed out inmates have ‘two boxes. One in possession and one in reception’ when someone suggested sending Ruth and John lots of books to keep them occupied, eventually they came up with the right strategy for their campaign with the help of Stuart’s knowledge of the prison system.
In source 4, it is insinuated that people had interacted by the market’s interconnected network. In source 6 this is manifested in a way of people having their own interconnected network throughout the markets. Cassius have concluded that people were attracted to the fabric because the people by popular demand it had been welcomed to the people. We know this to be true because, silk was THE major export throughout the whole SILK Road. By the social demands of a person, one has their own interconnected network within a
China China is really big in different kinds of art, music, dance, folklore, drama etc. There is a lot of fairytale and fable stories, stories about wonders and interest, idiom stories, stories about wisdom and military stories. Each story explains a good story, teaches a lesson, learns something valuable, and helps others. Chinese people are really creative with their costume making, and the different kinds of decorations that they make. Some different types of decorations is paper cutting, cloth tiger, Shanxi New Year Picture, Wood cut picture, and clay tiger.
So obviously, this study is not evidence for other people having a photographic memory. Nevertheless, there are more people with extraordinary good memories, but they cannot take `mental pictures‘ and ‘’recall them with perfect fidelity’’(Foer, 2006). One of those people was Laurence Kim Peek. Peek has throughout his life, memorised over 9000 books by heart, and he only needed between eight and ten seconds to read a page (Treffert & Christensen, 2009). Moreover, ``[h]e [could] identify hundreds of classical compositions, tell when and where each was composed and first performed, give the name of the composer and many biographical details, and even discuss the formal and tonal components of the music’’ (Treffert & Christensen, 2009).
As consequence of the profoundness of these cultural ties, hundred of Chinese scholars were the student of the famous Nalanda University much before the advent of Christ. Up to the 19th century, the scholars of the two counties visited each other and strengthened the cultural relationship. In ancient times, if the Indian scholars like Dharmaratha, Kumarajiva, Buddhajiva, Dharmakshema and Sanghabhuti visited China, the Chinese scholars Fa-hein, Sung-Yun, It-Sing and Huentsang came to India. Among them Huentsang was the Chairman of a Buddhist conference sponsored by the Indian Emperor Harshavardhana. The way Huentsang and Fah-Yan enriched the Indian history by their writings, they became inseparable part of it.
Some of the other goods traded included luxuries such as silk, satin, hemp and other fine fabrics, musk, other perfumes, spices, medicines, jewels, glassware, and even rhubarb, as well as slaves. [4] China traded silk, teas, and porcelain; while India traded spices, ivory, textiles, precious stones, and pepper; and the Roman Empire exported gold, silver, fine glassware, wine, carpets, and
Chiara Tuzzato, major in Chinese language and culture at Ca’ Foscari University Identity, Heritage and Globalization: Mid-term paper The problems of Chinese Identity: Han versus Minorities Identity China has always had a strong tendency in consider itself as a united and unique country, separated from the rest of the world. Since the Han period (206 B.C.-220A.C. ), and later through the succession of the Dynasties, the shifting territories that belonged to the Empire had developed a primeval idea of Chinese identity, based mainly on the imperial central authority and a symbolic conception of power. This complex political symbolism combined the traditional cosmological theories, which had a Confucian matrix, with the influence of other cultures, such as the Tibetan Buddhism. Even if there have been several influential predominant cultures that penetrated and conquered the leadership throughout the centuries (namely Mongolian and Manchurian cultures, Buddhism and also partially Islamism).
With the establishment of the Delhi Sultanate, Islam spread across large parts of the subcontinent. In 1204, Bakhtiar Khilji led the Muslim conquest of Bengal, marking the eastern-most expansion of Islam at the time. So nowadays, many Hindus still think Islam is an invader’s religion. What’s more, after the Muslim conquest, British occupied India from 1858 to 1947. Then, a significant historical event called “Partition of India”happened on August 15, 1947.
Next I will look briefly at the general history of the importance of clothing in Indian culture and how it has been used for social change. Finally I will look at how Indians used clothing, both European to advance in the business world and society and with more precedence, traditional clothing to resist British colonial authority and interference, in the hope of proving that clothing has been an important part of the history of both colonialism and anti-colonialism. British colonial rule in South Asia is commonly known as The British Raj (or reign). The region, commonly called India in contemporary usage, included areas directly administered by Britain, as well as the princely states ruled by individual rulers under the paramountcy of the British Crown. After 1876, the resulting political union was officially called the ‘Indian Empire’ and issued passports under that name.
In some places, cultural transformation occurred with the migration of relatively small elite populations, for example from Brittonic to English culture between the 4th and 7th centuries CE in what had been Roman Britain. Early humans migrated due to many factors such as changing climate and landscape and inadequate food supply. The evidence indicates that the ancestors of the Austronesian peoples spread from the South Chinese mainland to Taiwan at some time around 8,000 years ago. Evidence from historical linguistics suggests that it is from this island that seafaring peoples migrated, perhaps in distinct waves separated by millennia, to the entire region encompassed by the Austronesian languages. It is believed that this migration began around 6,000 years ago.
