Lincoln slavery

Lincoln，who issued the Emancipation Proclamation, led the war against slave owners of southern states and make an end to the Negro slavery.

He successfully led the country through its greatest constitutional, military and moral crisis—the American Civil War--by preserving the Union by force while ending slavery and promoting economic modernization.

Feminism in America

In 1963, Betty Friedan had published The Femiwine Mystique, a declaration of war on "the second-class citizenship of women.

Balzac

In culture, the bourgeoisies have been regarded in the works, from Moliere to Balzac, as mean, avaricious, tasteless, reactionary and rapacious.

Every time I look at it I see the Balzac’s miser, Zola’s thieves, Colette’s hardworking artist and Flaubert’s Francsic, risking everything on one throw of dice.

Balzac, one of the founder of realism in European Literature, is renowned for his keen observation of detailed and unfiltered representation of society.

Bach Mozart

When listening to the music of Bach and Mozart, we are influenced unconsciously.

The poetry of patriotism influence us unperceivable and unobtrusively.

Countercultural movement

From the middle 1960s to the beginning 1970s, a nation wide movement led by youth was arise in America. In the era of Vietnam War and Civil rights movement, various ideas and impulses interacted. Many new forms of art such as Rock-and-Roll, Dada were born, many immortal works were composed reflecting the rebelling and restless thoughts of the people.

Sino-Japanese War

If we turn our perspective to the 19th century, In 1986 the Japanese defeated the Qing-empire in the Sino Japanese War. With the two hundred million taels of silver as indemnity of war paid by Qing-empire, the Japanese soon became a powerful capitalist country.

British Empire

because of the rising of the British Empire, many other countries are invaded by military forces and colonies are built all over the world. They madly exploited the natural resources and compel the native citizens to be their slaves. The great fortune of the empire is obtained at the cost of hundreds of millions of people’s sweat and blood.

The connection

America and the high subsidies from the government, the price of agriculture product in international market is low. Therefore the peasants in the developing countries have to lower the price of their products to compete with the products imported from America. Thus their incomes are low and can not even afford to make a living. Another example, with the increasing need of wood, coal, and other natural resources in the developed countries, forests are cut and environment destroyed in the developing countries to meet the need.

Bandung conference

Transmission and Influence of ZHOU En-lai's Thought of Peaceful Diplomacy as Seen from the Bandung Conference

Fifty-five years ago, in the Bandung Conference, there is discrepancy between the communist China and other nations. Chinese Premier Zhou En-lai proposed the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, which claimed to find the common grounds while respect the differences. The conference ended successfully and China strengthen the relationship with other Asian-African

countries.

Different interest

To illustrate, the government of China and America have different interest in the issues such as Tai-wan, Tibet, War of Iraq. Years ago, American government regard China as a competitor. However, the common interest in economy, education, culture between China and America far outweigh the differences. Since Nixon's groundbreaking visit to the People's Republic of China, the two great nations have enjoy the common prosperity brought by their cooperation. Politics is a none-zero game, only if both sides make joint effort can we make the most achievement.

LAWS

Law[4] is a system of rules and guidelines, usually enforced through a set of institutions.[5] It shapes politics, economics and society in numerous ways and serves as a social mediator of relations between people. Contract law regulates everything from buying a bus ticket to trading on derivatives markets. Property law defines rights and obligations related to the transfer and title of personal (often referred to as chattel) and real property. Trust law applies to assets held for investment and financial security, while tort law allows claims for compensation if a person's rights or property are harmed. If the harm is criminalised in a statute, criminal law offers means by which the state can prosecute the perpetrator. Constitutional law provides a framework for the creation of law, the protection of human rights and the election of political representatives. Administrative law is used to review the decisions of government agencies, while international law governs affairs between Sovereign States in activities ranging from trade to environmental regulation or military action.

The Goddness of Justice

Lady Justice is the symbol of the judiciary. Justice is depicted as a goddess equipped with three symbols of the rule of law: a sword symbolizing the court's coercive power; scales representing an objective standard by which competing claims are weighed; and a blindfold indicating that justice is (or should be) meted out objectively, without fear or favor, regardless of identity, money, power, or weakness.

Morality

Morality (from the Latin moralitas "manner, character, proper behavior") is a sense of behavioral conduct that differentiates intentions, decisions, and actions between those that are good (or right) and bad (or wrong).

Matter

Atom is made up with electrons and nucleus, later we realize that nucleus can be divide into neutrons, which bears no electric charge and protons, which bears one positive fundamental unit of electrical charge. In 1964, we come to know that the proton and neutron are constituted by quarks, one of the two basic particles(the other is lepton) that constitute our world. Now we know

that there are even anti-quark and dark-matter that exist in universe.

Shakespeare and The Simpsons

people prefer literary classics as reading material because we think that its illuminating, instructive and insightful. However, the mystery novel may bring a lot of fun to the readers even if its content is not that thought-provoking. We all know that the opera of Shakespeare has more value than The Simpsons, however, we more often watch the cartoons than opera in everyday life. This may partly explain the difference between the results of the two surveys.

Maoism

In the 1950s in China, personality and individuality are suppressed by the dictatorial and arbitrary policies, if anyone express the opinion different from the Maoism, he will be at risk of imprison and even his life. People eat, walk, speak without souls. The society as a whole also suffers and sinks low into the swamp of spiritless.

The history of art

during the middle age, the themes of painting is focus on religious stories and figures, at that time, painters represent their respect and honor to the God. However, in the 13th century, new ideas arise in the painters, the typical of whom is Giotto di Bondone, who start to paint the religious topics in more realistic way. As time passed on to the period of Renaissance, the themes of painting have steadily drifted to the topics from ancient Greece and Roman. At that time, the new idea of representing the nature of humanity steadily replaced the old ideas of representing the God. And in the late 19th century, the impressionist proposed their special perspective observing the world , which was quite a controversy by their contemporaneous is well accepted nowadays.

Mendel Morgan

(genetics) one of two principles of heredity formulated by Gregor Mendel on the basis of his experiments with plants; the principles were limited and modified by subsequent genetic research.

Zeno

The circle symbols the knowledge we already know, the blank surround the circle stand for the unknown world. The more we know, the more we feel that we are ignorant.

Aristotle/Galilean

The heavier object will drop faster than the lighter one.

Their speeds are the same actually.

Incredible/massive Information revolution

One hundred years ago, sending these ten words cost 50 dollars, right now we can send huge quantity of information without costing anything.

The information and technology revolution has gone all the way through our society in different ways.

Politics transparency

John F. Kennedy: ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country. John F. Kennedy: The gross national product dose not allow for the health of our children, the quality of their education, or the joy of their play. It does not include the beauty of our poetry or the strength of our marriages; The intelligence of our public debate or the integrity of our public officials. It measures neither our wit nor our courage; neither our wisdom nor our learning; neither our compassion nor our devotion to our country; it measures everything, in short, except that which makes life worthwhile.

In the old days, only the government could hold information, and only a few elected people could search it, check it and question it. Imagine someday in the future, on the website, every single dollar spent by the government is searchable, analyzable and checkable.

Whereas

Education experiential learning instead of going to school to get information

The main point is that, if we continue to look at education as if it's about coming to school to get

the information and not about experiential learning, empowering student voice and embracing failure, we're missing the mark. And everything that everybody is talking about today isn't possible if we keep having an educational system that does not value these qualities, because we won't get there with a standardized test, and we won't get there with a culture of one right answer. We know how to do this better, and it's time to do better.

Creativity in education

关于错误， 我们避免错误，one right choice。扼杀了创新。What these things have in common is that kids will take a chance. If they don't know, they'll have a go. They're not frightened of being wrong. Now, I don't mean to say that being wrong is the same thing as being creative. What we do know is, if you're not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original. If you're not prepared to be wrong. And by the time they get to be adults, most kids have lost that capacity. They have become frightened of being wrong. And we run our companies like this, by the way. We stigmatize mistakes. And we're now running national education systems where mistakes are the worst thing you can make. And the result is that we are educating people out of their creative capacities. Picasso once said this. He said that all children are born artists. The problem is to remain an artist as we grow up. I believe this passionately, that we don't grow into creativity, we grow out of it.

Language

When each of you in this room was born, there were 6,000 languages spoken on the planet. Now, a language is not just a body of vocabulary or a set of grammatical rules. A language is a flash of the human spirit. It's a vehicle through which the soul of each particular culture comes into the material world. Every language is an old-growth forest of the mind, a watershed, a thought, an ecosystem of spiritual possibilities.

And of those 6,000 languages, as we sit here today in Monterey, fully half are no longer being whispered into the ears of children. They're no longer being taught to babies, which means, effectively, unless something changes, they're already dead. What could be more lonely than to be enveloped in silence, to be the last of your people to speak your language, to have no way to pass on the wisdom of the ancestors or anticipate the promise of the children? And yet, that dreadful fate is indeed the plight of somebody somewhere on Earth roughly every two weeks, because every two weeks, some elder dies and carries with him into the grave the last syllables of an ancient tongue.

And I know there's some of you who say, "Well, wouldn't it be better? Wouldn't the world be a better place if we all just spoke one language?" And I say, "Great, let's make that language Yoruba. Let's make it Cantonese. Let's make it Kogi." And you'll suddenly discover what it would be like to be unable to speak your own language.

The world deserves to exist in a multicultural way, we will find ways to live in a truly diversified and pluralistic world where all the wisdom of all peoples will contribute to the collective well-being.

The words of Immanuel Kant

1. Justice lies in the rights and duties of certain deed regardless of consequence.

2. Experience without theory is blind, however theory without experience is mere intellectual

play.

3. He who is cruel to animals becomes hard when dealing with man. We can judge a man’s heart

by the way he treat animals.

4. There are too things fill mind with the ever increasing wonder and owe — the starry sky

above and the moral laws within.

Challenger

A titanic explosion consumed Challenger and its crew of seven.

Many now famous and celebrated artists were not recognized by the art critics of their time, often because their art was in a style not yet understood or favored. Conversely, some critics, have become particularly important helping to explain and promote new art movements — Roger Fry with the Post-Impressionist movement, Lawrence Alloway with Pop Art as examples.
