How do you make important decisions?
Asked by Wiki User
It's a mature and smart person that would ask this question. When we are on our own and have to make our own decisions you can either run your thoughts by a friend, older relative or you can sit down one night (when everything is quiet) get the old pen and paper out and write down the pros and cons of the problem. Once you see it on paper it seems a little clearer. I usually do this when it's super important and if I'm really stuck I'll ask for a couple of people's opinions and take a little of each to help me make my decision. When my decisions involve friends or family I want to be as sure as possible (if I have to get strict and blunt with that person) I am in the right so I will ponder over the problem for several days before saying anything. Remember, once you mouth the words and hurt someone, these words are not easily taken back and even if the person forgives you, thing between you will just never be the same. If I am making decisions about business I do research over the computer on it, make a few phone calls and if I'm still not satisfied then I go to the pros for my answer ... psychologist, lawyer, doctor, etc. I love input from other people because the old saying stands true "sometimes we can't see the forest for the trees." This means: Sometimes we are in the middle of a heavy duty problem and we can't see all aspects of it because we are stressed out. What seems difficult to us at the time isn't that difficult for another person to see and give you good solid advice. Marcy
Did the people China like Mao Zedong?
Asked by Wiki User
Mao Zedong Mao Zedong is revered publicly in China as a great leader, but there is widespread discrepency over the actual opinions amongst the Chinese. There is no reliable answer, as public polls under the Chinese state media always manipulate the data to be overwhelmingly favor of Mao Zedong, despite the presence of online polls and other surveys by the Chinese themselves that contradict it.
Here are facts highlighting the pros and cons of the former leader of China and his regime, but I encourage you to research the topic yourself for a more concrete answer.
Pros:
1. Unified China under the Han Chinese (traditional Chinese) after decades of foreign rule by Europeans and Imperial Japan. For many Chinese, the exploitation of their country was a huge source of ire, given their extensive history. He also ended the series of civil wars and domestric strifes that plagued the country
2. Despite the the deaths caused by his policies like the "Great Leap Forward" movement, life expectancy did increase during Mao Zedong's reign, and iron production increased over 30% from 1958-1960 (but it plummeted in 1961 and wouldn't rise back until 1964).
3. In terms of personality & relationships, Mao Zedong was known to have a magnetic personality and was moderate in his manner with regards to friends. He behaved like a peasant & believed himself to be one of the masses (he was not elitist)
4. Mao improved the status of women, and statistics reveal that his reign was marked with improved literacy as well as education for the poor.
Cons:
1. Mao Zedong's "Great Leap Forward" movement led to the "S�nnián dà jīhu�ng", or the "Three Years of Great Chinese Famine" from 1959-1961. The Chinese government admits tht 15,000,000+ deaths occured from this, but scholarly estimates from China's own researchers & professors place the deaths at anywhere between 20,000,000~43,000,000. Liue Shaoqi, the president of China from 1959-1968, said that Great Leap Forward movement was "30% fault of nature, 70% human error". Needless losses were caused by a corrupt government that Mao Zedong statistically did little to reform.
2. His policies, especially the "Great Leap Forward" movement, destroyed the most real estate (houses & property) in HUMAN HISTORY, far exceeding the damage that all of WWII's bombing campaigns caused. This was done to create new farms in arable land. Even then, Chinese governement statistics in the 1980s shows that there was actually a 30% drop in crop production from 1958 to 1960, which also contributed to the famine.
3. Mao Zedong was also known to be willing be ruthless against his enemies and those that failed to meet his expectations. While this normally would be considered utilitarian, the fact that many of the failures by the peasantry & his subordinates were largely caused by Mao Zedong himself makes it seem unfair in retrospect. When the nation experienced food shortages due to his policies, Mao Zedong refused any form of foreign aid and even exported grain while allowing millions of his people to die in an attempt to hide China's instability in the eyes of the world.
In other words, opposition was always met with ruthless suppression and torture. No exceptions.
4. Modern China has largely rejected Mao's economic policies, and most of China's rise as an economic superpower was due to Deng Xiaoping's capitalistic reforms in the late 1970s, not those of Mao Zedong.
5. The "Culturual Revolution" under Mao Zedong led to destruction of many aspects of Chinese culture, including but not limited to: scholars, historical relics/monuments, art, poetry, and literature.
To summarize, Mao Zedong could be considered a monster seeing as how he did not care how many people died to achieve his goals, but he can also be considered a leader for firmly believing in his cause to be for the prosperity of the nation as a whole. He was a firm advocate of the notion "the ends justify the means". The main questions for most Chinese, however, is whether Mao Zedong did obtain tangible results, and whether the sacrifices made by the people for the state was worthwhile.

Asked by Wiki User
Mao Zedong was instrumental in waging a war against the invading forces of the Imperial Japanese military beginning in the 1930's and on forward to the end of World War Two. Mao's communist ideology led him to end all political opposition once he took over total control of the Communist Party. The result was a one party system, that was a totalitarian one imprisoning and executing all democratic opponents of communism.
