2/19 Please take a couple of minutes to respond to the reading. What stood out for you? What do you think of it, is it exaggerated?

What really stood out for me is that women during this time did not have any rights. They say that they also could not have privileges like men. Men had rights but women didn't. I believe that this is a way to make women feel not discriminated, but it was one of the ways to discriminate them by tricking them. If you give men all the rights and women just freedom, then its like saying "you have no freedom women." So in other words, Confucianism is not the kind of religion for women.

2/22 If rabbit is too smart or his own good, Owl is the Brain, and piglet and Pooh...?

I believe that Pooh is a symbol of Taoism, because of the way he acts. He merely knows anything well and often times he is confused, because he cannot learn what he has not seen or what he cannot experience, that is why I believe that it is called Tao of Pooh.

Explain right mindfulness and right concentration. Do you see how you could apply this to your daily life? Why or why not?

To apply right mindfulness to our daily lives, we must begin to develop awareness about the way things really are. We also have to develop. We begin to develop the insight that things are really quite simple, that we can handle ourselves, and our relationships, very well as soon as we stop being so manipulative and complex. Also to apply right concentration your minds have to be complete captivated by all sorts of entertainments. Right absorption means that we are captivated in now, and so we need discipline such as sitting down and meditation

4/1 In describing Japanese development, a British Professor in 1873 declared that he felt 400 years old by the end of the century. Explain the historical context behind this quote.4 they felt older than 400 years old because it was no

4/16 Japan had to Westernize or be destroyed. As we already know, island countries often have conflicts, and they are forced to fight back because there is no where to run to. In Japan, the government system was not new and old tradition like. It needed something that would sustain it. Civilians were protesting to the monarchy system and therefore it was a threat to Japan. Before they had a Japan leader who was the figure and the people below him worked. However, Japan changed its type of government.

4/13 I think that such cruelty is possible because of nationalism. It may be hard for an American or Canadians to think that such nationalism is possible. In the states and Canada, there is a diverse race with lots of people, which leads to the point that, it is hard for them to unite as a whole. To be easily socially bound, is to have as much similarities, but as for the states, there is not enough similarity between people, and they come from different culture and different background. As for places like South Korea and Japan are very nationalistic, because people know each other very well and that is why they feel why they should act with such cruelalty. Even the Chinese weren't very nationalistic, because of the different nations that united them into one piece.

4/30 they have an obligation to compensate each other for injustice done in times of war because usually the one who has more power are to be the ones to blame because they create things to happen, and yet when it comes to justice, the only thing every country would say is "well, it was their choice!" well it isnt really their choice, they were deceived in a way, or forced for those wrong doings during the war.
 * Do countries have an obligation to compensate each other for injustices done in time of war?**

The Subject is obviously Mao. it also shows what the differce is between the radical and the conservative is, because what he is holding is

scroll = importance of education

he is the perfect idea because he looks younger and more skinny.

the peak of the mt represents the power
