China

 China has the greatest population in the world. It is also one of the oldest continuous in the world. China has five thousand years of history. China has been ruled bu dynasties. China had at least 28 dynasties and more than five hundred emperors. The first dynasty was Qin dynasty with emperor Qin Shi Huang. He built the Great Wall to against the invading groups and he was the emperor for whom the famous Terracotta Army was fashioned. The national language in is Mandarin and is spoken by 70 percent of the population in China. Different city or area spoken their own local language. There is over 50,000 characters in the Chinese alphabet but only 8,000 are actually in use. In order to speak fluent Mandarin you need to know 1,500 to 2,000 characters.
   I learned that there is over 50,000 characters in the Chinese alphabet and I realize that I know more than 1,500 characters. There is different kind of Chinese that people spoken in different area of China. The most interest things about China is each of those dynasties has their own story. The emperor Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall and we still can see that today.

What makes a society just?

   I think the follower makes leader great. A great leader should have people to support him. If people support him that means he or she is a great leader. A great leader should responsible for peoples right and make sure everyone have the equal right. A great leader also do the good things for his people and society, he or she should make sure the justest in the society.
   I think all the human nature are good because everyone has compassion. I also think that all the human nature are bad because everyone is selfish. I think if something bad is happen everyone thinks for their self instead think for others. I think relationship can determine people's behavior because when you in relationship with others you care about them. Everyone have compassion that is why we care about other people.
   I think government should let the people in the country owning the wealth first. In order to make people wealth government should control the currency in their country. The government should also control the price of market. They should make sure everyone have enough money to buy stuff. The government should distributed the money equally to the poor people.
   I think honor means role model. Like you did something good so that people look at you think you as a role model. Everyone try to do the good things like you did. I think character counts influence people's behavior because it taught people to do the good things for others.

Racial Discrimination

      Racial Discrimination is been a problem exist for a long time. Today, we still have the racism problem exist in our society. This problem had been discussed many time and people still argue about. Some people does not know what kind of situation called discrimination. The discrimination among races is like a group of people  think their race is in a higher position or worth respectful than other races. Their action is intentionally harmful or pejorative to other people. Racism is people divided in to groups that share the same identity. The group share the same identity means they share the same skin color, eyes color, and the same culture or religions. Racism is based on view to determined that people are different.

    Back to the history, discrimination does not exist because people don't know what is discrimination. On Africa history, there was a lot of slaves and segregation. When the time get longer some people thought this is not right. Then they started to fight for equal right. They give speech about everyone is the equal. Finally the slaves were free and they made Racial Discrimination in to Constitution. Today more people started to believe everyone is equal and the same.  Everyone deserve the equal right, people respect each other and their religion.
