Vietnam Vietnam’s personality has been outline by long-running differences, both internally and externally with foreign foes.

    From these passages we can infer the people of Vietnam were very proud and fair warriors. Some examples of this is that they were exceedingly patriotic, would fiercely fight for their independence, and that they were very humble. For example, we know they are very patriotic because when in battle, if they knew that they would lose, they would commit suicide because they would rather die than fail their country. Furthermore we know they would fight to the end for their independence because when fighting the French they were overpowered by hundreds, but still fought fearlessly and defeated the French in the end. Finally we can infer their humbleness because of their reaction when defeating the Chinese when they invaded Vietnam. Instead of forcing…

    For centuries Vietnam had been under Chinese rule. The Vietnamese people were an oppressed society and were exploited by the Chinese. Forced labour was brought upon the Vietnamese people, and there were many tyrannical Chinese governers along with constant demands of tribute for the Chinese rulers. There had been many revolts by the Vietnamese people but they had all been crushed by the Chinese. In 939 Vietnamese forces led by Ngo Qugen defeated the Chinese in the Battle of Bach Dang. The naval strategy used by the Vietnamese was innovative and effective. Wooden poles with sharp iron tips were placed into the river bed. During high tide the poles became invisible. It is then the Vietnamese lured the Chinese ships into the river. Eventually low tide came and the enemy ships were impaled and destroyed. This was how Vietnam changed their society, the only way they could, through conflict. The oppressed and impoverished people of Vietnam had no resources other than force to over throw the Chinese in order for them to gain independence.…

    In Robinson’s poem “Miniver Cheevy”, the main character, Miniver Cheevy, is someone with the hope of achieving the American Dream. Possibly living in a different time period, Miniver Cheevy did not achieve this dream and has given up trying to reach for it. The American Dream represents the goal that Miniver Cheevy should aspire for‒a family, fame, and fortune. As Robinson writes, “Miniver sighed for what was not, and dreamed, and rested from his labors….Miniver scorned the gold he sought, But sore annoyed was he without it.” The character is distraught about what his life would have been, and now he drinks his life and troubling thoughts away, complaining about the things he does not have. The American Dream may not always appeal to everyone.…

    The Ancient Civilizations of China are often compared to each other, probably due to their similar dynastic structure, and how many of them are very similar to other dynasties of different times. The primary dynasty of the time period called “Classical China” is the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 CE) which is the second imperial dynasty of China, the first being the Qin Dynasty.

    The goal of this group was to encourage them to unite together against Japan and France and by 1945 communism dominated in the Viet Minh movement. In August 1945, Japan was defeated by the French and gave them back Vietnam. The Viet Minh reacted by marching into the city of Hanoi and taking power. The French “puppet” ruler Bao Dai abdicated and then invited Ho Chi Minh to form a government. In 1946, the French recognized the Democratic Republic of Vietnam as a Free State, but full independence was not given to Vietnam. The Viet Minh were ready to fight until the end but the French, on the other hand, wanted a quick resolution. The next year the First Indo-China War broke out with Viet Minh choosing guerrilla warfare as the tactic of choice. While war went on in the hillsides, the French decided to establish an alternative Vietnamese government with Bao Dai as head of state. Bao Dai’s new administration, the Republic of Vietnam, was set up in direct response to the fall of China to communism in 1949. Communist China and the Soviet Union both recognized the communist regime of Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam. The United States was initially against the efforts of France to re-colonize Indo-China, for their own economic reasons because they wanted to open the area up to free trade. The creation of the People's Republic of China and the Korean War gave America no choice but to…

    How do Classical Republicanism and Natural rights philosophers affect the Founders view about government because, both the Classical Republicans and Natural Rights philosophers impacted the Founders view about the government. In the preamble it shows that there are more Classical Republicans signatures and a few Natural rights philosophers’ signatures. The three court cases that I chose were Betts v. Brady, Bowers v. Hardwick, and Loretto v. Teleprompter Manhattan. In the first case Brady v. Betts in 1995, Betts was the offender, who robbed a place in Maryland but could not afford and attorney. The 6th amendment then comes into play because it sets forth rights related to criminal prosecutions. Betts could not defend himself in the case and he was sent to jail. Classical Republicanism is shown here because Betts stated he did not have an attorney to the judge. And the Judge and said that in the 6th amendment it did not include the rights to an attorney. Which also rules in favor of Natural Rights philosophy? The second case I decided to go with was Bowers v. Hardwick 1985, Michael Hardwick was being observed by a Georgia officer while he had been engaged in sexual intercourse with someone of the same sex. Hardwick’s first amendment rights were violated by the police officer by observing Hardwick in his own personal life. In this case it shows a huge chunk of Classical Republicanism because the court had agreed with Hardwick that he had violated his rights. Although the officer had denied the fact that he violated the rights of Hardwick, the court still sided with Hardwick. In my last case Lorreto v. Teleprompter Manhattan 1982, a company had violated a customer’s rights to privacy which means violating the fourth amendment. Classical Republicanism is shown in this case because they say it is a violation of privacy. Natural rights Philosophy is show because they say that the company…
