Work culture is Among the Most Critical Aspects of Chinese Society
ReYou may recycle your ideas from a thread post you wrote on for the class as long as you build on it and develop it with more details and support. If you cite someone from the threads be sure to note that. I am looking for lots of quotes, specific examples and support from the texts for this assignment. Be sure that all quotes are followed by page numbers. If you do not include quotes from the readings (in English or Chinese) you will receive 0 points!
Guidelines
This exam should contain your well-focused evaluation, critique,interpretation, and/or questions and should not be a plot summary.Risk taking and individual thinking are always well received.
If you would like my help or feedback I will be available by appointment or online.
All exams must be titled with your name, class and section
The use of sources (including class notes and information from the Internet) for any information must be properly cited in the MLA style.This is true even if you do not use quotes. Papers without proper documentation of sources will not be accepted. The paper must be your own work. Plagiarism will be prosecuted as fully as allowed by FIT policy, including failure in the class.(SEE BELOW)
Please also note that your citations must follow the idea and not be simply placed at the end of the paper - that will count as plagiarism.
I only accept MS Word or PDF documents.
All quotes from the text must be followed by page numbers.
Please type and proof read your response. This is a formal college-level assignment.
If you read the fiction in Chinese or do your own translations you must cite the original text (in Chinese is ok) and note if it is your translation.
If you include Chinese quotes in your text that is fine since I can read Chinese - just include the source and page number or chapter and translate them loosely in your footnote. You need the specific page numbers. Or as an alternative – you can insert YOUR loose English translation into the essay and include the original Chinese in the footnotes- again be sure to include page number, source or chapters so I can find them easily.

Work culture is among the most critical aspects of Chinese society. Paddy farming, for instance, is among the labor-intensive activities in the agricultural sector. Over the years, however, China has managed to feed its massive population while at the same time having a surplus to sell on the international market. Despite the difficulties of rice farming, the country's success is an indication of work culture and ethic, passed down across generations based on China's long history in this form of agriculture. This unique work culture was particularly instrumental during the Mao regime in which even women, sidelined in other societies, played a significant in the construction of the Chinese economy. In the poem, Autumn River Songs, Libai (LiBai, p. 188) writes that "in the moonlit night, men's face flushed, work-song echoes out over cold rivers." There are several important aspects of this quote.
Firstly, Autumn marks the period in which farmers get their fields in preparation for the next year's harvest. Men working at night under the moon's glare demonstrate this work culture; of a people willing to work hard and earn their keep. The aspect of the work song echoing out over the cold river indicates the communal aspect in which work is valued. If anything, this quotes best describes the Chinese attitude that has enabled the jurisdiction to overtake former empires like Britain and other European states as the biggest economy in the world. In contrast, this does not necessarily mean that other countries are not working hard enough. If anything, it is only a demonstration that nobody is exempted from hard work in a culture influenced extensively by rice paddies, be it at night or day. Thus, the quote summarizes the Chinese work culture that makes it a destination for global organizations in the manufacturing sector.

One of the most outrightly apparent aspects of the Chinese culture is respect and care for the elderly. This aspect has been the cornerstone of this culture and is always highly valued. For instance, the culture has the philosophical ideas of filiality, which involves respect for older people and the responsibility of children to take care of them. The elderly are considered the closest worldly contact with ancestors. Traditionally, they had first claim to the family's resources. Further, the respect and care for older people come from accumulating worldly knowledge, making them central to key community decisions. In this view, the Chinese elderly might yet be the happiest section of the elderly population in the world. Based on this perception (Wei, p. 13) writes that "in old age, I ask for peace, and I don't care about things of the earth."
This quote captures the Chinese aging attitude. Because of their experience, past input in society, the accumulation of wisdom, perceived closeness to ancestors, and the filial sub-culture, life in senior years is supposed to be spent in peace. Like in any other society, the elderly have already served their role in society, and as they await death, they contribute through their wisdom and experience. China takes this aspect seriously, as highlighted by the constitutions, which protect the well-being of this section of the population. Youth and adults understand this aspect because they will receive the same treatment in their old age. Older people are arguably the happiest in China. They are often found dancing and singing in the parks, joking, and hanging around with friends in the streets. This cheerfulness embodies aspects of Confucianism (which promotes respect for elders), establishment of friendship networks, and relaxation after a lifetime of hard work.

Anywhere in the world, rulers are the key decision-makers and determine the direction of the society, be it social, economic, or political. In democratic nations, like those in the Western sphere, rules are constantly scrutinized during their reign through the tenets of freedom of expression and freedom of the media. People in these societies often criticize China because it has gripped some of these rights. The extent to which rulers can be questioned in both societies varies differently, and it is often perceived that in China, those who are ruled have little or no say in the direction of the country. This is demonstrated in Ju-Chen's work, The Women's Kingdom, where he writes: "Our ruler has just now given us the order to bind your feet and then invite you into the palace. Who then would dare to raise her voice in protest (c.1763--c.1830, p. 4)?" In essence, no one can dare question the ruler on her decisions.
Ju-Chen also introduced the aspect of utopia, especially from a women's point of view. In work, women play the contemporary role of men while men play the role of women. Women, for instance, "wear boots and tall hats, call themselves men, and preside over ...
