Activity: “Chinese State Sports Policy: Pre - and Post - Beijing 2008”

I read this article written by Fan Wei in 2010.This was my first time reading an English article which related to Chinese sports policy. The article provides an overview of Chinese sports policy and practice from 1920s to the 2000s with particular emphasis on the post Beijing Olympics.

I was very worried before I read this article because I was afraid that I could not understand the specialized topic. However, I found it was not that hard than I expected. I learnt the development of Chinese massive sports and elite sports and understood how policy impacted the development of Chinese sports. This article helped me overview the Chinese sports policy and had a clear understand of each process. It will be a very useful experience and make contribution to my master study. As this article closely related to my major, I was glad to read this article before studying in my department.

Activity: “The Little Prince”

This book was published in 1943, is a novella and the most famous work of French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. It has been translated into more than 190 languages and it is one of the best-selling books ever published. I read the Chinese vision when I was a child and it was also one of my favorite books.

I was very excited to read the English vision. The Little Prince makes several profound and idealistic observations about life and human nature. For example, it tells of a fox meeting the young prince as he exits the Sahara desert. The story's great part is contained in the lines uttered by the fox to the little prince: "One sees clearly only with the heart. What is essential is invisible to the eye.” Other key thematic messages are included in the story, such as: "You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed" and "It is

    2. Personally if I were going to enter this market based off of the 11 factors that influenced the people who completed the survey I would not enter this market. Starting at the first factor they say that mostly sporting appear were purchased for exercise not because they are a fan of a specific sporting team or player. The third factor pertains to the amount of money spent per year on sporting goods. It seems typically low compared to the US, because I know as a season ticket holder of the Philadelphia Eagles my family spends anywhere from 3000$-5000$ in tickets, jerseys, concessions, and apparel. The fourth factor shows that primarily the Chinese are buying shoes and that does not give me reason to move forward in this market. The seventh factor shows…

    During our first group discussion I became really fond of the article "Children Are Not Colorblind: How Young Children Learn Race." Throughout the article I was shocked at the different aspects of children aging and how the develop their sight and sense of race and color of skin. It appears that saying that children are "colorblind" is a myth and I realized greatly how much this is true through this article. Children are actually seen as "blank slates" and don't develop racial prejudices until they are told about them. This statement proves that children don't develop racial prejudices unless they are influenced to have them.…

    Although it is impossible to know what was in the author’s mind as he wrote The Little Prince, several aspects of the novel can be read as commentary on the painful World War II period. Most notably, the baobab trees can be read as a warning of what happens when a close eye is not kept on things that are dangerous. The story in Chapter IV of a Turkish astronomer whose work is initially dismissed because of his ethnic costumes addresses the problems of racial prejudice and discrimination.…
