Includes many numerical comparison and discusses cloaking of actual figures by government agencies.
From the paper:
"The "China Daily," discusses women's rights in China in a positive manner, bringing up several points that show women in China have no fewer rights than women in the United States. Unfortunately, there are many topics that were not discussed in this paper, that prove women in China still have a long road ahead of them in achieving true equal rights.
The article says that women of China did not have to wait 144 years after the forming of a constitution to vote. "American women belatedly obtained equal voting rights 144 years after the founding of the United States, while Chinese women were grated such rights immediately after the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949" (Editors, 1995)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the perceptions of modern day China, Japan and Korea. The paper essentially argues that the misconceived notions that China, Japan and Korea are not modern countries is related to the fact that they were isolationist towards the west and because they did not follow the European modernization concept.
From the Paper
"The relationship between China, Korea and Japan with the West is both complicated and filled with misconceptions. The largest misconception about China, Korea and Japan in the West is that these countries have followed isolationist foreign policies. For example, in "China Attempts to Soften Its One-Child Policy" Jessica Bernman suggests that China had isolated itself from the rest of the world and is just now beginning to open its borders (Bernman 567). Japan has also been thought of as a country that had isolated itself from the world for centuries (Toby 6)."

Abstract
This paper explains that the evolvement of fashion trends throughout history have come to mean more than merely a choice of dress and style for its own sake. Rather, they reflect the evolution of culture and national identification. The impetus of fashion is an integral part of cultural studies, semiotics, sociology and history. The author points out that, in contrast to the fashion uniformity prevalent during the Cultural Revolution as a mandatory symbol of national identity and cultural commonality, more modern styles were introduced to represent a new found freedom in social and political life. The paper relates that the ideals of citizenship and expected cultural and national standards is reflected in Japan in the uniforms that children wear to school.

Introduction
Cultural Construction
Fashion and Culture in China and Japan
The Shaping of National Identity
From the Paper
"Possibly one of the most obvious examples of the connection of fashion and the cultural construction of reality is the fashion or dress code that was dominant during the Chinese Maoist Cultural Revolution. Studies and reports of China during the late years of Maoist influence between 1949 and 1976 remark on the congruity between the style and fashion in clothing of the time and the communist doctrine of equality for all. The impression of China in those years was that it was a poor, fairly undeveloped country despite its glorious past."

Abstract
The political upheaval that occurred during China during the past hundred years is described in the first- hand accounts presented in Jung Chang's work, "Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China". This book demonstrates that the rights provided to the women described during this period by the government were constantly limiting, where on the other side of the globe the women in the United States were privileged to have ever- increasing rights and liberties. This paper explores the book "Wild Swans" in respect to the rights that were given to women in China and compares and contrasts these rights to those of American women during the same time period.

From the Paper
"Can Xue is a woman of China who has seen the evolution of a society in transition throughout her life. She is further a writer who is considered one of the first Chinese women of literature to be recognized by the government as a literary artist. Can Xue has written several stories in which she discusses the elements of her life as a youth, and her current existence. The Summons is one such story. In her work she recognizes both the harshness of a Communist government that has been her past, and the position of women in China that has evolved during her lifetime. Thought of as a writer who relies on no conventional form to create her works, Can Xue is often depicted as an irrational writer whose work is full of vivid and wild images."

A discussion regarding China, Japan and Korea as leaders of world economy.

»

Abstract
This paper reviews how China, Japan and Korea are often referred to as 'leaders' in the world economy. The paper discusses how each country reflects a different kind of modernization and, mainly in the post-World War II period, an accelerated development success story, just as each country indicates its own kind of economic and political achievement. This paper argues that this view of the three powers in question is most problematic, especially in view of their respective defects.

From the Paper
"During the 1980?s China recognized a need for significant foreign investment, particularly in those infrastructure and productive areas in which a complete modernization and/or overhaul was needed.

(Braham and Ran, p.9)."

From the Paper
"In China, an upper class consisting of scholar-officials and landlords wielded considerable influence. The system of examinations by which individuals acquired imperial posts produced an elite group of classically educated men who used their government positions to increase their families' wealth and land holdings. The means of wealth acquisition were less than legal in most cases, but graft was socially acceptable though illicit. Chinese motivation for development of personal wealth reflected in large part the patrilineal lineage mechanism in place. For the benefit of his family, then, the Chinese scholar used his power to accumulate wealth for his descendants. The avenues leading to the examinations were not equally accessible to all, however, so the peasants were essentially excluded from imperial posts. The significant characteristics of the relationship between the gentry and the peasantry will be described shortly."

Abstract
This paper examines three different stories written over a thousand years ago when women in China were without power. It looks at how traditional ancient Chinese writers reveal that although women had little sanctioned power, their innate wisdom gave them dominance over the men around them. It demonstrates, with quoted examples, how male Chinese writers from those ancient times frequently portrayed women as possessing control over men through the power of their natural wisdom.
From the Paper
"Another incidence of female superiority, this time in Chinese literature from the ninth century, is found in ?The Biography of a Girl Surnamed Chao,? by P?i Jih-hsiu. This young girl, testified in court to save the life of her father who had been convicted of a crime against the government and sentenced to die. She offered to die with her father, and through her ?filial devotion? saved her father?s life. She then vowed to shave her hair and become a Buddhist in order to repay the judge for his decision, and immediately ?Concerned that others might not believe the words of a girl, she took out a stiletto that she carried in her bosom and forthwith cut off her ear to demonstrate that she would certainly keep her oath.? "
