Chinese Heritage
And Higher Education
[ send
me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Taking example from Michael Ondaatje's
"Running in the Family," the student is able to
reflect upon one's own Chinese heritage and openly relate
to the inherent struggles associated with progress and
modernization. That the Chinese legacy is one of hard work
and loyal dedication to one's homeland amidst economic
strife, it is not surprising to find that the student's
parents had little time raise their child while they ran
the family business, finding it necessary to send the
student to America in search of a better life through
higher education. To the Chinese, a solid education is
tantamount to future economic success. Bibliography lists

Chinese
Immigration
[ send
me this paper ]
5 pages in length. During the period of Chinese
immigration to the United States, the historical
construction of the "Oriental" began as an alien
image who threatened "real" Americans. The three
images of the Chinese developed: "pollutant" (a
racialized alien who spoiled the image of California as a
free white republic, "coolie" (unfree, servile
labor that threatened the working class) and
"deviant" (Chinese women as prostitute and
Chinese men as domestics were sexual threats undermining
the American ideal of the cult of domesticity and the
beliefs against racial mixing). Examining the specific
political, economic, social and legal treatment the
Chinese immigrants received, one might readily surmise
that the coolie image contributed most to that treatment
and eventual exclusion of the Chinese. Bibliography lists

The Idea of
Womanhood in Traditional Chinese Society
[ send
me this paper ]
Since as early as the 7th century B.C., women in China
have been permitted to hold positions of power and even
lead in prominent positions as national figureheads.
Unfortunately, no level of leadership, education or social
prominence for women could change the patriarchal nature
of traditional Chinese society. From the early Han Dynasty
to the last of the Chinese dynasties, the Ch'ing Dynasty
(17th-early 20th centuries) women have played significant
and defining roles in the political structure of China,
though these roles have been defined by the death of their
husbands and their circumstances rather than by the social
acceptability of female leaders in Chinese society. This 5
page paper reflects the lives of a number of prominent
women in Chinese history, including Ban Zhao of the Han
dynasty, Song Ruoxin of the Tang, Empress Wu Zeitan of the
Zhou Dynasty, and Tzu-Hsi, dowager Empress of the Ch'ing
Dynasty and defines the impact of the patriarchal
definitions in determining their impact on history.

China's Fall To
Communism

A 10 page paper discussing the rise of China's Communist
party under the leadership of Mao Zedong, with emphasis on

Confucius And
Benevolence
[ send

8 pages in length. The writer discusses how Confucius
recognized the fact that humanity has turned into a

manner in which people interact. However, there does not
appear to be any signs of significant change to this gross
lack of social responsibility; therefore, it is safe to
assume that mankind will continue down the road of

Relations From 1945-1989

and the Russians had endured several decades of discord

or concessions but more because Chinese developments. The

The Opium Wars
[ send

A 6 page paper discussing the causes and results of the
two Opium Wars (1839-1842 and 1856-1858) between China and
Britain. In 300 years of trade with China, Britain had
developed a thirst for China's tea as well as appetites
for Chinese silk and porcelain, but pre-industrial China
found very little to desire from Britain's offerings. To
ease the resulting tremendous trade deficit, Britain began
growing opium in its colony India and insisted that China
allow it to enter their country for use by their people.
China declined the affront to their national sovereignty,
lost Hong Kong to Britain, and later lost all right to
restrict the opium trade within their borders.

but the government was alarmed over what it perceived to

Contemporary
Issues And Images Of Asian-Americans
[ send

8 pages in length. The notion of cultural assimilation
carries with it significant challenges for those who
strive to adapt to an entirely new way of life. The manner
by which issues are addressed in Asian-American media
provides one with a significantly better understanding of
just how difficult a time myriad Asians have had while
attempting to reconstruct their entire cultural existence.
Various media formats have adopted a perspective on Asian
ethnocentricity in such a way as to clearly illustrate
these challenges, with film, television and print offering
much the same viewpoints. The vast issues that are
presented compare to historical depiction by way of
carrying forth the continuing difficulties that exist
within Asian-American populations, inasmuch as historical
communities reflected much the same obstacles that exist
within contemporary society. When one examines the
importance of such media attention with regard to the
Asian-American society, literary contribution is one area
that cannot be overlooked, and Amy Tan is one writer who
is at the forefront of accurate depiction. Bibliography

China's New

[ send

A 12 page paper discussing China's great economic gains
since the end of the late-1990s Asian currency crisis.
China has proven itself to be more than "just"
another developing nation seeking to take advantage of
temporary advantages for short-term gain. Rather,
indicators point toward a nation taking concrete steps to
building positive and long-term benefits, taking into
account the needs of both the government and the people.
China led the world in advances for centuries, but its
intended isolation and later full embrace of communism
stymied the economic growth it could have enjoyed long
ago. It seems now to be poised to rectify past oversights,
creating a hybrid of economic reality and ideology that
can satisfy ingrained and long-standing philosophy. The

Henry Serruys'
"The Mongols And Ming China : Customs And

[ send
me this paper ]
7 pages in length. Henry Serruys' account of the Hung-Wu
period (1386-1398) in "The Mongols and Ming China :
Customs and History" draws upon the author's literary
talents, as well as the sordid historical events that
revolve around China's Mongols during this period. This
detailed analysis provides the reader with a scope of
knowledge both vast and explicit, with the book's aim
being that of a comprehensive critical overview of how
China's Mongols managed to rule for the better part of a
century. Indeed, the sources upon which Serruys draw are
instrumental in his ability to portray this era as one of
China's most powerful. Clearly, the method by which the
author assembles the work, as well as his complementary
writing style, brings forth the underlying reasons that
such a forceful period existed in China's past and what
its people have learned from such events, which represent
the book's larger issues. No additional sources cited.

in the debate repeatedly ask whether or not China has
really changed (or is changing). Seeing how the Chinese
government reacts to its own citizens who criticize it
suggests that beneath the facade of international

in control of virtually all social, judicial, and
