It is crucial to recognize that the global South’s position in the global market has always been one of inferiority, which is inflamed by forms of aid, most notably food aid. Food aid is effectively the...

First, from the American perspective, in...

China's political reform is not the political system reform understood by many western scholars, which does not involve the change of the basic political framework, but a reform focusing on government governance or government management system. The Chinese path is characterized not only by its proven diversity, which cannot be replicated in the west but also by the fact that it is an embodiment of the global accumulation of democratic and socialist achievements. China's rise has much to do with...

Unseen glory and history: uncovering the historical significance of the Qinghai Temple in Nanjing, China Most Asian temples are built for religious purposes, often for worship and ritual practices.

Any student of history who plunks down to expound on the fifteenth century is fighting Shakespeare from the minute he lifts his pen. It is a fight he will most likely lose. Shakespeare's representations of the Plantagenet lords, sovereigns, and nobles who led and demolished England are strong to such an extent that they have, by and large, become magically melded with the genuine, recorded people themselves. Who, for instance, can consider Henry V without burping up a line or...

In 1995, Disney™ released 3 movies; ‘The Lion King’ and ‘Toy Story’ which are amazing movies with great storylines and not to mention their beautiful animation. The final film was ‘Pocahontas’. Honestly, I was very disappointed when I watched this movie because Disney™ made a lot of mistakes; the iffy plotline being one of the biggest. That said, I believe the criticism that this movie receives is unneeded as making a movie aimed at children about a true historical event...
