Edo Japan, A Virtual Tour
http://www.us-japan.org/edomatsu/
Edo is the ancient name for Tokyo.
During the reign of the Tokugawa Shoguns, Japan's emperor reigned in secluded
majesty at the imperial capital in Kyoto; however, the true center of power,
government, the economy and social life was Edo, where the Shogun lived
and ruled the country. For most people in Japan, Edo is more than just
a historical city. It also has a symbolic image and meaning. It represents
nearly everything that they consider a part of their "traditional" culture.
Although modern Tokyo may look very "Western" on the surface, in its heart
the spirit of Edo still lives on!

What's Next for China and the U.S.?
http://score.rims.k12.ca.us/activity/china/index.html
You have been contacted by the president of the US and he would
like you to give him
some advice regarding a country he knows very little about. The
president is aware
that China is going through a great deal of change - both economic
(toward
capitalism) and political (the addition of Hong Kong and a change
of leadership). He
also knows there are factions within China that are incredibly resistant
to change. An
example of this resistance occurred during the Cultural Revolution
of the 1960s and
70s. The President would like you to study this key event and any
others you feel are
relevant and to prepare a report detailing your view of the effect
these changes will
have on China and a prediction of how the government will react.
Will they reverse
their current policies or continue to relax controls?
Tibet Question
http://score.rims.k12.ca.us/activity/tibet_question/
To the Chinese, the international furor over Tibet parallels Western
intrigues in
Chinese affairs dating back to the 19th Century Opium Wars, the
Boxer Rebellion,
U.S. support of the Nationalist Chinese during the Chinese Civil
War, the Great
Cultural Revolution and Tiananmen Square. On the other hand, Westerners,
spurred
by efforts of the Tibetan exile community and Hollywood feature
films like "Seven
Years in Tibet" and "Kundun", tend to quickly assume that the Chinese
are at fault.
The true story about Tibet lies somewhere in between. An international
news agency
is doing a special on "The Tibet Question". They will be interviewing
members of the
Tibetan groups, Chinese and US government officials, representatives
of human
rights organizations and Chinese scholars. You will be assigned
to one of these
groups in preparation for this news special.
