Sex has been said to stir hormones that reduce the chances of antiviruses surviving in one’s bodies. Research conducted at Wilkes University shows those students who have sex once or twice a week have Continue reading...

Introduction

The Chinese Revolution which took place in the 20th century was as a result of intertwined socio-economic and political factors in China.

It might be appropriate to say that, as man seeks more opportunities to quench his thirst for comfort and other necessities, it is the environment that is severely tested. There is no doubt the importance the environment has for man’s survival, but when they run into scarcity of place or resources, they begin to look at other possible alternatives, and in the bargain, taps into the environment around him. While nations seek to enhance development, little have they thought about the consequence of their actions in eating into the ecosystem?

A non-profit organization’s mandate to provide a laptop as part of their program, OLPC (One Laptop per Child) that is costing $100, failed in its mission.

However, this is still an illusion as too many non-cultural factors and soft cultural hindrances exist as inhibitors for international association.

Compared to any other culture, the Chinese culture is relationship-oriented; Chinese believe that one cannot undertake any meaningful activity without forging a good rapport with others in the society. For this reason, most of them do not value themselves as much as they value others. The paper seeks to proof that the relationship between people is more important that personal value. Moreover, the paper will verify that Chinese loyalty to the country is more important than loyalty to the family.
