Answer:
Kublai instituted a class system that placed Mongols on top, followed by Central Asians, Northern Chinese, and finally Southern Chinese. The latter two classes were more heavily taxed, especially to fund Kublai’s failed – and expensive – military campaigns.
These campaigns included attacks on Burma, Vietnam and Sakhalin, which successfully resulted in these regions becoming tributary states of the empire with tributes that were, unfortunately, dwarfed by the costs of the individual campaigns.
Answer:
One scenario that forced me to wrestle with my values was one that most people know but didn’t actually have to live through it. If you have ever had someone ask you, “Would you steal a loaf of bread for your family to eat if you were starving and poor?” you may have not put a lot of thought into your answer because it seems a bit outlandish. One summer my family was in a really rough place, my parents had been laid off and my siblings and I were too young to help out much. One day a fellow peer of mine in school had brought a bag of goodies and they had left them sitting in the back of the class. Later on, we had all gone outside to complete a science experiment. I had returned back to the classroom to grab my sweater and nobody else was inside. That day especially I was starving because I hadn’t eaten lunch or dinner the day before or anything that day. I remembered my siblings and how skinny and malnourished we looked. At that moment, even though it hurt me to do it, I grabbed the bag and shoved it in my bag. To this day, I still feel extremely bad for what I had done, but a part of me slept a little better that night knowing my family wouldn’t starve in our car that night.
