The dinnner was wonderful, and it makes me proud to know that my alma matter, USC has always done things with such a high standard. Thank you for your excellent taste and your quality considerations. I believe that this lecture had a great effect on me as I did not realize that China had so many dynasties, and that they each represented such dramatic changes that each of these time periods introduced. The Chinese people are truly a dynamic group, and able to withstand such dramatic changes. I appreciated the immeasurable knowledge of our professor, Clayton Dube as he compunds the history of China with what is actually going on there today. Connecting the past with the present seems to be a fact of this exciting culture. The visuals are nicely compounded with auditory input, and make it easy to follow the course content which has so much information. I was surprised to realize that foot binding was actually an expression of love, as I have always felt that it was a disciplinary action against women in China. It seemed a part of the discrimination process, but I was wrong, and gladly so. Even with a country that is this large, it is surprising that they have so much trouble with their natural resources, especially water. The pollution must gobble up a great deal of this natural resource, as industry waste is less controlled there than here in the United States.
