Women In China Role Of Women
1,562 wordsEven since the dramatic post- 1949 changes in China regarding the role of women, China has remained paternalistic in it's attitudes and social reality. The land reform, which was intended to create a more balanced economic force in marriage, was the beginning of governmental efforts to pacify women, with no real social effect. Communist China needed to address the "woman question." Since women wanted more equality, and equality is doled out from the hands of those in power, capitalism was examin...

France And Britain War Reparations

1,300 words... ered around, it was be painfully obvious that this could only mean one thing: the resource is very abundant now, compared with the demand for that resource. However, the only thing that this means is that resources just aren't as scarce right now, as they used to be.
