What was the symbolism of the Great Wall of China?

Answer 1

_This is my perspective as an Asian, not a banana, but a purebreeded Asian, categorized as a FOB.

_It tells me that due to the arrogance and the tremendous ego of a king, many people had to die for it.

_I'm talking about Asian culture, not specifically chinese, because most Asian countries went through harsh monarchy periods.

_It's contradictory to human rights, but also has produced generations of extremely HARDWORKING asians, produced through hard lives, including parental punishments, as it goes in Confucius philosophy: The more they hit, the more they love (XD), so the Asians who complain about having harsh parents are either what people called "White-washed", or actually do not love their parents at all, or want to make some immoral cash out of it.

The only difference to European culture was the path each people chose.

_Europeans (more than half the population I guess ) chose to stand up for rights and liberties, to bravely stand up against the monarchs for a more comfortable life.

_Asians (definitely more than half) chose to work non-stop rather than get killed. (It's instinct not cowardice people =.=)

Generally, people who are heavily influenced by the Asian culture consider the best quality of life is to be around the ones they love and live a steady sufficient life, which is why they chose stable jobs in mechanics, medicals, and study 24/7 for it. The freedom to choose politics is alright, I don't have anything against it, but I do think it's not as safe, though I want to become a lawyer to help people.

I don't expect many deep cultural beliefs from the Asians that are born in the United States, neither do I recommend anyone expect anything good from the current generation in Asian countries. Right now cruelty and prostitution can be anywhere.

_An Asian teen, but hard core old school like me consider fashion should be for the celebrities or for people fantasies, which could be saved up onto the computer :P.

The students should go to school in uniforms or jeans with a plain shirt, Because fashion is just a waste of Natural Resources. My eyes itch to see a rich bitch and a beggar standing close to each other. It's perfect to have some change of clotheson occasions, but the United States... abuse of shopping? My stupid aunt is in debts and she's still heading for some Gucci bags or what, which I never look at, nor do I care about spelling. And spelling is of my most concerned topics. It's just that she kept on talking about it. (It's funny how I can spell and write in English better than all the teachers I know of since coming to the United States. I have great respect for this language.)

_And it's not about the idea of conformity because our DNAs are different in the first place.

_In my opinion, the extreme difference as to why FOBs and some Asians are discriminated against in public activities: Social Graces.

_I do hate abuse of social graces. It's great to interact with the world; however, I do believe using it as often as the United States is not right, and unhealthy. People are polite using it, even when the listener is having a hard time. It creates stress to the listener, knowing that he/she is alone to solve problems by him/herself. It gives off a "lying attitude".It's fake. It's "business only". And last but not least, I hate it because it's often confused by many people, thinking it's morality. Social Graces and Morality are of two opposite ends.

_Oh and hey, once again, I am not smart even though I get As in Math for I spend my whole life practicing it. So other subjects like English and US History are what? Cs and Ds? I don't care. I just got the test result from Biology, 23? 25% I think. Can't help it since I'm not smart enough, nor HARD-WORKING enough like other Asians.

_I believe in limited freedom of speech. This is of all the courage to speak out my thoughts. Hopefully it's only read by pacifists, since I do not know what's in your heads. (Hey I'm one soft-core pacifists too ^^)
