It was the early seventies and to the author, she was experiencing a cultural revolution all her own. Opposition to the Vietnam War was strongly prevalent, the notion of feminism was beginning to arise, and there was a strong desire against conformity of any nature. The author grew up middle class to second generation Chinese citizens and was fueled by bourgeois guilt, and by a feeling of separation from her roots. “Curiosity about my ancestry made me feel ashamed that I couldn’t speak Chinese and knew so little about China” (14). After devouring every morsel of information that she could, she firmly believed Mao and his “comrades” were the only people who had a legit shot at establishing a utopic society. It was official. Jan Wong was going to Beijing.…

    The dragon in Revelation isn’t shrouded in mystery. In fact, a few verses after the dragon is introduced the bible says who the dragon represents—Satan, the devil who leads the world astray. Regardless, it’s important to understand the historical context of the symbolism we come across when interpreting Revelation. The purpose of this paper is to describe the cultural context—especially that of the Israelites—surrounding the dragon around the time that Revelation was written. I decided on this topic because I’ve always been fascinated with the historical context surrounding ancient works. It also seemed interesting to learn about dragon mythology in ancient times. The symbol of a dragon as Satan is one that was easily understood across Israel…

    Rarely can it be said that a film has defined a genre, but never is that more true than in the case of The Godfather. Since the release of the 1972 epic (which garnered ten Academy Award nominations and was named Best Picture), all "gangster movies" have been judged by the standards of this one (unfair as the comparison may be). If a film is about Jewish mobsters, it's a "Jewish Godfather"; if it's about the Chinese underworld, it's an "Oriental Godfather"; if it takes place in contemporary times, it's a "modern day Godfather."…

    Most emerging countries have a penchant for highly diversified conglomerates. India's Tata Group, which accounts for almost 6% of the country's GDP, has subsidiaries in carmaking, agricultural chemicals, hotels, telecommunications and consulting. Reliance Industries' range sprawls from petrol products and clothes to fresh food. But such diversification is not confined to giant organisations. China is full of small and medium-sized companies that have fingers in many pies, taking advantage of opportunities as they arise. Many emerging countries also rely heavily on state-owned enterprises. These organisations are peculiar hybrids that have never been seen before; the closest relatives are the European trading companies of the 16th-19th centuries, such as Britain's East India Company. They are not old-fashioned nationalised companies run by the government and designed to control chunks of the national economy, but nor are they classic private-sector companies that sink or swim. Instead they are amphibious creatures that flit between sea and land, borrowing money from governments at subsidised rates one moment, plunging into the global market the next.…
