In 1989, a group of students led a protest in Tiananman Square, in Central China. After the Cultural Revolution has ended with the death Mao Zedong in 1979, there was economic and civil unrest. Because of this movement spearheaded by Mao, China faced poverty that they had never seen before. Shortly before his death Dong Xioaping was made the de facto leader of China in 1978. Reforms were set up by him and this led to a huge downturn. Deaths of prime political figures and a disembodied education system were to follow in only 11 years time. In 1989, a group of brave students took arms in the forms of words and signs to protest to demand scholarships for higher education, these "riots" were seen by the un-democratic and corrupt government of China as a threat, and military action was taken. It resulted in a huge causality rate, that of a massacre.

Answer:

A. The protesters were demanding scholarships for higher education.

Explanation:

The Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, also known as the Tiananmen massacre, the Tiananmen rebellion or the June 4 incident, consisted of a series of demonstrations led by students in the People's Republic of China, which took place between 15 April and June 4, 1989. The protest is named after the place where the People's Liberation Army suppressed the mobilization: Tiananmen Square, in Beijing. The protesters came from different groups, from intellectuals who believed that the Communist Party government was too repressive and corrupt, to city workers who believed that economic reforms in China had gone too far and that inflation and unemployment were threatening their lives. life forms. The event that started the protests was the death of Hu Yaobang.

After the protests and the calls of the Government asking for its dissolution, a division of criteria on how to respond to the demonstrators took place within the Communist Party. The decision was to suppress the protests by force, instead of accessing their demands. On May 20, the government declared martial law and on the night of June 3, sent the tanks and army infantry to Tiananmen Square to dissolve the protest. Estimates of civilian deaths vary: 400-800 (CIA), 2,600 (according to unidentified sources of the Chinese Red Cross). The number of injured is estimated between 100,000 and 1,000,000.

Answer:

In the excerpt Walt Whitman suggests that <u><em>human beings continue to exist after death through the people they know</em></u> because <em><u>the remains of the dead are absorbed into the soil and continue to nourish life</u></em>.

Explanation:

Walt Whitman's poem "Song of Myself" is a celebration of the self and how an individual becomes one with nature. The poet delves into the idea of discovering one's self, identification of one's self with that of others, and the relationship with the universe and nature.

In the given lines of poetry taken from the 6th part of the poem, the poet talks of what happens to life after one dies. He questions<em> "What has become of the young and old men? / And what has become of the women and children?"</em> And he responds, "<em>All goes onward and outward, nothing collapses, / And to die is different from what anyone supposed, and luckier."</em>

This shows that Whitman believes human beings do not die or vanish completely. Rather, they continue to exist after death through the people they know, and that the remains of the dead are absorbed into the soil and continue to nourish life.
