We learned that in different time periods, people used different names to talk about themselves: Hua, Huaxia, Zhongguo [the middle kingdom] were the earliest self-identifications and later, there were terms such as Han appearing in the Song, Jin and Mongol documents to address this particular group of people.Despite the changes in names, were there something persistent and long-lasting in what we consider as “Chinese culture” today? What were some of the most important features of “Chinese culture?” What were the key institutions and mechanisms that contributed to its longevity? What were the key dynasties and who were the key individuals that helped shape the “Chinese culture”?At the same time, in this class, we learned that “Chinese culture” was constantly changing and reacting to its interaction with other cultures and people, especially with the people in Inner Asia and the northern steppes. What were some of the time periods that we see “Chinese culture” heavily influenced by other cultures? Can you give some good and concrete examples?2. Discuss the relationship between China and the West (broadly defined) over the course of modern history (after 1700). How was contact first established? What sorts of people, objects, and ideas moved between the China and the West? How did large-scale Western and Japanese imperialism affect China during the 19th century and how did imperialism and China’s response change its economy, culture, and political systems? How did China interact with the West in the 20th century (the Republican era, the Mao years, and the Deng Xiaoping era) and how does China position itself now?3. Discuss the evolving roles of women within the family, in society, and in politics throughout Chinese history.

What makes Shakespeare’s play a tragedy?Describe some of the elements that you feel make this play a Tragedy? (Give examples from the play, describe some of the “Preventable” events, What causes them to occur?- Don’t tell me the plot! Hint: She drops a handkerchief…what happens? is that preventable? )*Note- Emotions, Communication, and Misunderstandings are not preventable! Do not tell me that “Othello just needed to talk to Desdemona” or that “Iago couldn’t have prevented everything by not doing the following…” these are Hypotheticals, and are not facts. You must look at the events of the play and find the ones that could have been stopped. In the case of the Handkerchief.Do not say that “Desdemona shouldn’t have dropped it, that’s why she’s dead now”One- that’s victim blaming and was a totally accident.Two- Emelia GIVING the handkerchief to her husband is the event. If she didn’t do that, then Iago wouldn’t have been able to see his plot all the way through. Emelia immediately knows that something is wrong the moment this event happens as well (thinking that her husband may show her love again… and he simply doesn’t).Think of this as if it was a court of law. What are the facts? What are the actually events and/or actions that happen that could have been prevente

Cause they all die. Cause Othello dies. Cause everyone is sad and they all die. Death doesn’t make something tragic…2) Shakespeare demonstrates a sense of Humanity, and Justice in most all of his plays… except for this one it seems. It is also hard to watch this play and keep in mind what the concept of “Race” was in Shakespeare’s time. Scholars say about Othello:”The play is unique in featuring a Muslim black man as the main protagonist, thus making the work highly relevant in response to the Elizabethan era’s racial policies towards the Moors. Although blacks were not yet regarded as slaves during that time, they had been recently deported after having just been granted diplomatic rights by Queen Elizabeth in 1601. This was due largely to fears of overpopulation, and despite the slave trade not yet being established, the black race was considered inferior during the writing of “Othello.” For this reason, “Othello” is considered a groundbreaking cultural work for its time, as a black Moor is depicted as a civilized, noble, Christian protagonist, which forced its audiences to reconsider racial status during the early 16th century.”https://www.reference.com/art-literature/did-shakespeare-write-othello-f1fa59fdd93f1aabThat being said… Why do you think Shakespeare wrote this play? Was he standing up for a different race? Was it an observation about humanity around him? Equality? Equity?(1-2 Paragraph min.)DO NOT SAYHe was Racist. He wanted to scare people. He liked death and White Women.

Portland State University Chicano/Latino CommunitiesChicano/Latino Studies CHLA 301UProf. de Anda Winter Quarter 2021Exam 2Instructions: Choose one question and write a 2.5-3.0 page essay (double-space, not more than 850 words). You should provide a word count at the end of your essay.Do not copy the question — simply indicate the number of the question and start your essay. I am going to evaluate your essays based on two criteria: form (i.e., organization of essay and grammar) and content (i.e., what you say).I am asking you to summarize the argument in Flores-Gonzalez’s book, Citizens but not Americans. That is, take her argument and put it in your own words. Do not insert your opinion. If you do, it will count against your grade. You are not to use direct quotes from the book, except for definitions of technical terms such as ethnorace.The exam is due before midnight on Sunday, March 14th. Late exams will be penalized at a rate of 5.7 points out of 100 for every 24 hours that it is late, starting with the first 24 hours.Choose one question:Q1: According to Flores-González, three components support an ethnoracial framework for Latino millennials: coupling of ethnicity and race, Latino prototype, and the weight of Latin American ancestry (Chapter 3). Discuss each of the components of this framework and provide examples. For ethnorace, use the definition by Linda Martin Alcoff. Please keep the definition short. Provide succinct examples.Q2: In chapter 4, Flores-González discusses her narrators’ assessment of their location on the racial order in the United States. What social, economic and cultural characteristics (e.g., skin color, social class, language) led Latino millennials to place themselves in the solid racial middle, the racial middle tilting white, and the racial middle tilting black? How does Latinos’ perception of their location in the racial middle affect their sense of racial exclusion and marginalization? Provide succinct examples.
