.... and drastically altered China's traditional relationship with the world. Hence the Chinese Communist attitude toward China's traditional past is selectively critical, but by no means totally hostile. The Chinese Communist revolution, and the foreign policy of the regime to which it has given rise, have several roots, each of which is embedded in the past more deeply than one would tend to expect of a movement seemingly so convulsive. The Chinese superiority complex institutionalized in their tributary system was justified by any standards less advanced or efficient than those of the modern West. China developed an elaborate and effecti .....

.... haunted him all of his life, and he would later devote many of his books to the retelling of his experiences. Dickens was saved from this situation when his father was released from prison. From 1825 to 1827, Dickens again attended school for two years of formal schooling at Wellington House Academy in Hamstead. For the most part, however, he was self-educated.

.... in cotton production" (Long 16). A rural way of life that supported an agrian economy based on slave labor was quickly established in the South.

As a result, the North's economy came to depend more on trade and industry than on agriculture. This economy supported the growth of cities, although many lived in rural areas during the colonial period. The sectional division between North and South had widened enormously by the mid - 1800's. The United States had expanded all the way to the Pacific Ocean and was rapidly becoming a major i .....

.... ram submerged at the bow for ramming wooden union ships. Now named the Virginia , she ran amuk in Chesapeake Bay disposing of Union warships. Her iron hull was almost impervious to cannon balls and her ram made short work of the giant wooden targets. The Union knew they had to build an ironclad of their own if they wanted to win the war, and so the Monitor was born. The Monitor rode almost completely submerged, with the bare minimum of wood required, but with absolutly none of it showing. Unlike the Virginia, the Monitors hull was only a foot or two above the surface of the ocean. Centered on her hull was a two gun turret, .....

.... Man cherishes excellence; Petty Man, his own comfort. Great Man cherishes the rules and regulations; Petty Man special favors." To me, that mean "Great Man is fair, Petty man is unfair." The second of these three values is responsibility and respect to one's family and elders, and responsibility and respect to others families and elders. This is most evident in Confucius' writings. He is constantly stressing family values and responsibility. One quote that shows this is "Let the sole sorry of your parents be that you might become ill." This stresses personal responsibility and respect to your parents. Hammurabi showed respon .....

.... is Schopenhauer's view of enlightenment that reaches closer to the truth. Kant was a man who was raised during the Enlightenment. In his work entitled What is Enlightenment, he preaches like a mad Atheist, accusing any follower of religious faith of bing immature and lazy."It is all too easy for others to set themselves up as their guardians." It is this immaturity and susceptibility that he seeks to pull his people from. It is easy for them to be immature, keeping a mind set of, "I need not think so long as I can pay". Pretty harsh words for his time when the threat of religious persecution was still an existent social norm. He feels man .....

.... He says there is no proof that two plus two is four, and when a mathematician argues with him by giving him math rules Hersh replies by saying “I find it so astonishing that a good mathematician would so misunderstand the nature of proof.� Hersh goes on and uses many analogies that attempt to disprove mathematics, but mathematicians believe the math is something to be found, not created. Mathematicians describe math as something to observe and find not something to create and construct. I thought this article to be very interesting.

.... the Mediterranean Sea. When the Carthagins conquered Messana (Messina) they now faced Rome. The Messana people requested Rome's help in stopping the attack on them from Carthage. This war was fought mainly at sea, around Sicily. Carthage was more superior in this field of fighting. This is because they had fought at sea before and the Romans did not. Also the Romans did not have a navy. When the Romans finally started a navy, this reflected in their fighting. For many years the Carthaginian people were more successful. This is because they were under the power of Hamilcar. On March 10, 241 BC this would all change, at the battle of A .....
