capitalist economy, China has grown from a third-world country to a modernized center of industry. In spite of economic freedom, the Chinese people do not have the equally important social freedoms enjoyed by citizens of other global powers. Social movements such as religious growth, especially Christian expansion, are strongly scrutinized by the Chinese government because it believes it will undermine the current ruling party and Chinese society. Contrary to this opinion, the growth of Christianity
Christianity in Asia has encountered many political and territorial obstacles. Matteo Ricci’s Jesuit order made a continuous effort in Christian missionary work in India, Japan, and China. Unfortunately, results from India and Japan show very negative and Ricci began his focus on China instead. Roman Catholicism was able to establish once during the Yuan dynasty in Chinese history, but it was soon wiped out during the Ming dynasty. Under Matteo ricci’s influence, Roman Catholicism was able to establish

The French Revolution, indeed, changed the structure of economics and social sphere of the old regime, and also the ideology of that time. In the years that
Machiavelli, have argued that patriotic sentiment—a deep emotional identification with one’s fellow citizens—is vitally necessary to support, defend, and sustain liberal democratic institutions.[1] Without patriotic virtue, the institutions of liberal democracy are likely to decay under the weight of self-interest, greed, and corruption. Theorists rooted in the tradition of liberal individualism, however, have been a good deal more skeptical about the moral value of patriotic feeling. Strong emotional

The Japanese colonization of Japan resulted in a nationalistic movement, in which media were celebrating
If this statement of purpose was a speech for my non-profit women’s organization, I would start with some self-deprecating, humble-brag explanation of my circuitous thirty year journey through college and how it lead to my pursuit of a doctorate in Communication. I would pepper in awkward anecdotes highlighting differences between my young classmates and me. There would be laughs and knowing nods. It would also be an oversimplification of a complicated and difficult journey culminating in this first
From remarkable church growth in mainland China to vibrant worship services in Chicago, Christianity in the Chinese culture has not only survived devastating persecution and political challenges but remains resilient, persistent, and inculturation.

Some of the most noticeable of which are when he describes his dream that one day, “every valley shall be exalted, every

For example, Vietnam 1000 years ago was a small and insignificant country. Yet its people were patriotic and unified through the shared experience that evoked emotion.

He then goes on in clarifying that “America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked ‘insufficient funds’." His use of loud metaphors and patriotic diction also adds to his persuasive and authoritative statements. He expands on the “check” metaphor and claims, “that [he] refuses to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt.” King emphasizes that they have come to collect the freedom and security

In response to unfavorable domestic conditions, Argentina’s military government sought self-promotion through invasion of the Falklands, yet failed to secure its own power and thus paved the way for a new political and economic order. In his article Advice for a Dictator, German politician Joseph Goebbels wrote, “A dictatorship requires three things: a man, an idea, and a following ready to live for the man and the idea, and if necessary to die for them” (Goebbels).

Declaration of Independence. However, preceding this was a radical shift in public opinion compressed into months. The publication of Thomas Paine’s pamphlet Common Sense on January 10th 1776 lead to the definitive shift from loyalist reconciliation to patriotic independence.
