CPWC Day 49 - Communism in China

EXTRA CREDIT OPPORTUNITY:  You can earn extra credit for attending and participating the "Great Decisions" discussion series.  Please see the email I sent last week for details.  If you would like to come to any of the discussions, please let me know so that I can add you to the Schoology group.

Objective:  Examine the ideas and influence of indigenous and diffused religious and philosophical traditions in East Asia.  Describe cultural and political developments in China in the twentieth century.

Task:  Ni hao!  When you arrive to class, please submit you homework to the appropriate Schoology dropbox.  Please get out your religions notes so we can add to our information on Daoism and Buddhism.  Then, we'll investigate course of Chinese history since the turn of the 20th century. Specifically, you'll examine the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution.
