Nevertheless, the blame cannot all be placed on the community members alone. According to Yangming, “the government failed the citizens by not properly teaching them in addition to a lack of families regulating themselves or exerting good influence on their fellow villagers.” This compact also shows Yangming’s fondness of Confucian ideals by giving community members a list of guidelines they must follow in order to improve society as a whole. By focusing on the ideals of Confucianism, the author thought citizens would become “good.” Confucianism exists to educate people to be self-motivated and to enable people to assume their responsibilities, which cultivates a better self and a harmonious society, which is…

Also there were people trying to fight for their individual rights like people had anger over the unsafe mines and the polluted water that was not safe to drink. There were unsafe working conditions and endless demands of local officials for bribes and sex privileges. There had been a problem with the farming with the water supplies poisoned and their crops being ruined and there could be rising incidences of cancer and that was a panic. There were peoples homes destroyed for no apparent reason and if they resisted thousands were fined and even going to jail some of the time.

    In the novel The Red Badge of Courage, psychological effects of war are further dealt with and examined than the aspect of physical war tactics. The book primarily focuses on one character and struggle: the protagonist Henry’s, constant battle with himself to be courageous. As the story moves forward, Henry is somewhat fighting two battles, one physical and one mentally as he strives to prove his bravery and manhood. It is commonly debated whether or whether not Henry finally succeeds and completes his pursuit for maturity and adulthood by the end of the novel. I think that although Henry’s first notions of what it means to be courageous are arguably illogical and impractical, he grows through experience and reaches maturity at the novel’s conclusion.…

Because of these behaviors, some people call “going too far”, or “exceeding the proper limits in rights a wrong”. However, Mao Zedong said “first, for ages they have used their power to tyrannize over the peasants and trample them underfoot; that’s why the peasant reacted so strongly”. Also, Mao Zedong said the revolution was a not a dinner party or something gently. It was a storm which was from poor peasant.

For instance in The Sniper, sniper 1 kills sniper2, if he didn't kill him then we wouldn't of found out that its actually his brother and there wouldn't be a good suspenseful ending. Therefore climax and resolution are related.…
