- 8621: Is China Correct in Her Occupation of Tibet?
- Is China Correct in Her Occupation of Tibet? Despite forty years of Chinese occupation and various policies designed to incorporate Tibetans and to destroy their separate national, cultural and religious identity, the Tibetan people's determination to preserve their heritage and regain their freedom is as strong as ever. The situation has led to confrontation inside Tibet and to large Chinese propaganda efforts internationally. China's newly established communist government sent troops to invade Tibet in 1949-50. A treaty was imposed on the Tibetan government in May of that year, acknowledging sovereignty over Tibet but recognizing the Tibetan government's autonomy with respect to Tibet's internal affairs. As the Chinese consolidated their control, they repeatedly violated the treaty and open resistance to their rule grew, leading to the National Uprising in 1959 and ...
- 8622: “Agamemnon”: Clytaemnestra

We respect your power. Right it is to honor the warlord’s woman one he leaves the throne.” (Lines 258-261) This line immediately sets up the fact that Clytaemnstra has gained power in Argos during Agamemnon’s absence. It is, therefore, in this first address to Clytaemnestra that it is learned that power is a main component of her character. When Clyteamnestra explains that she is lighting the alters because the ...
- 8623: Social Perception
- ... even I do not realise it. Even so, I sometimes, am still discriminated because I have long hair.
