... was a buffer zone between China and Japan. China acted as the big brother or role model for Korea. Culture, language values and society itself developed by free choices made by the Korean government. However, China was always ready to step in if Korea seemed to get to powerful or weak. Cummings makes this relationship sound as if everything was all right as long as Korea depended on the aid of China and respected China’s dominance of the region. Japan although at times respected China’s power believed that if Korea would consider themselves equal to China Japan could take the role of the regional superpower.

... of Congress lasting from March 9 until June 16 in 1933. Roosevelt began to put his "New Deal" into action.

... This is representative of his watchful protective mother, peeking over him to make sure he is safe. (Sendak also puts a fish in pictures for his father. “Sendak” not only means “fish”, but also is a remembrance that there is always something fishy in all of his work.) Sendak grew up in a family of storytellers. His father told (uncensored) stories that were considered “not for children.” They were nightmarishly scary stories of pogroms, death, love affairs, and other Jewish tales. His brother wrote stories, and his sister bound the stories into books that they sold on the sidewalks. Sendak loved hearing his father tell stories, and associates good books wi ...

... in one word, poor. The agrarian societies were weak because the land was only hospitable to trees and ice. The peasants were serfs, attached to the land and their masters. In 1853 war suddenly broke out in the Crimean Peninsula over Christian shrines in the Ottoman Empire. After their defeat in the Crimean War, Russia’s war leaders realized even more that they were behind the whole world in modernizing. In response Alexander II then took the reigns of the empire radically improving the country. Trans-continental railroads were built and then in 1861 the serfs were emancipated. The government then strengthened Russia’s industry by promoting industria ...

... civilized people that ever the world saw." Yet, another man by the name of Benjamin Disraeli, who was a writer and a politician, disagreed with this statement and pointed out that the existence of an England of "two nations who are as ignorant of each other's habits, thoughts, and feelings, as if they were ... of different planets; who are formed by a different breeding, are fed by a different food, are ordered by different manners, and are not governed by the same laws." He further says that "these two nations were the richest and poorest." It was a time when the rich were rich, and the poor people were poor. The poor or lower class of people went hungry and ...

... instead we evolved from apes [Darwin, 1809-1882] (100). This holds true for the concept of hysteria being strictly a female problem. Hysteria (as we know it today at least) is where specific memories, feelings, perceptions are taken from the conscious to the un/sub-conscious and are ‘unable’ to be recalled voluntarily. Furthermore they are able to affect the persons behavior in a variety of ways, from phobias to paralysis. Almost any organ or part of the body can be the scapegoat for the hysteric. Hysteria usually comes from feelings or memories which are particularly unpleasant for one reason or another. Freud would argue that more often then not (if not alw ...

Based on the given articles written from the majority of which were brought about from different view and opinions, this legend in my opinion must be true. Such people who wrote these letters or documentaries were well- trusted statesmen, and to lie to the governor of one's nation was considered to be a sin to both the Majesty and to God. Even in the views of those belonging to Spain and the Catholic Church, the Spaniard's attempt to exemplify themselves in the New World was ...

... to desert the army and be reunited with his love, Catherine. Fredrick and Catherine are playing the “game” of love, both for different reasons, but eventually move to play it as a team. Henry is role-playing to regain the sense of order he has lost when he realizes the futility of the war and his lack of place in it. Catharine is role-playing to deal with the loss of her fiancé and to try to find order in the arena of the war. When they are able to role-play together, “ the promise of mutual support” is what becomes so important to them as they try to cope with their individual human vulnerability.
