The purpose of the Cultural Revolution was to speed up change and eliminate Western, capitalist influence.

What actually happened:

Mao Zedong began the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution (its official name) in 1966.  A big part of the program was the closing of China's schools, because Mao saw the majority of educators as bourgeois types who were failing to support the communist revolution.  The Cultural Revolution was an insistence on loyalty to communist party ideology.  

The Red Guard was formed, which was made up of high school and college students (no longer attending school, since schools were shut down).  These radicalized students became militants for Mao over against those whom he considered not revolutionary enough.  The Red Guard destroyed historical artifacts and writings of the of China's former culture.  They also attacked persons who were seen to be resisting Chairman Mao's permanent revolution.

What was the difference in electoral counts between George w Bush and al gore during the 200 presidential campaign
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

In the national popular vote, <u>Gore</u> received <u><em>48.4 percent</em></u> while <u>Bush</u> received <u><em>47.9</em></u>, <em>losing by over 540,000 votes</em>. U.S. presidents, however, are chosen by the Electoral College, a system in which “electoral votes” are assigned to states based on their population and then awarded as a lump sum to the winner of the popular vote in that state – currently, it takes 270 electoral votes to win. By the end of Election Night, 2000, <em><u>Gore’s tally stood at 250 and Bush’s stood at 246 with Oregon</u></em>, Wisconsin and Florida too close to call.
