What was the outcome of pro-democracy demonstrations in Tiananmen Square in 1989?

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

The Tiananmen Square protests were student-led demonstrations calling for democracy, free speech and a free press in China. They were halted in a bloody crackdown, known as the Tiananmen Square Massacre, by the Chinese government on June 4 and 5, 1989.

Pro-democracy protesters, mostly students, initially marched through Beijing to Tiananmen Square following the death of Hu Yaobang. Hu, a former Communist Party leader, had worked to introduce democratic reform in China. In mourning Hu, the students called for a more open, democratic government. Eventually thousands of people joined the students in Tiananmen Square, with the protest’s numbers increasing to the tens of thousands by mid-May.

At issue was a frustration with the limits on political freedom in the country—given its one-party form of government, with the Communist Party holding sway—and ongoing economic troubles. Although China’s government had instituted a number of reforms in the 1980s that established a limited form of capitalism in the country, the poor and working-class Chinese still faced significant challenges, including lack of jobs and increased poverty.

The students also argued that China’s educational system did not adequately prepare them for an economic system with elements of free-market capitalism.

Some leaders within China’s government were sympathetic to the protesters’ cause, while others saw them as a political threat.

Martial Law Declared

On May 13, a number of the student protesters initiated a hunger strike, which inspired other similar strikes and protests across China. As the movement grew, the Chinese government became increasingly uncomfortable with the protests, particularly as they disrupted a visit by Prime Minister Mikhail Gorbachev of the Soviet Union on May 15.

A welcome ceremony for Gorbachev originally scheduled for Tiananmen Square was instead held at the airport, although otherwise his visit passed without incident. Even so, feeling the demonstrations needed to be curtailed, the Chinese government declared martial law on May 20 and 250,000 troops entered Beijing.

By the end of May more than one million protesters had gathered in Tiananmen Square. They held daily marches and vigils, and images of the events were transmitted by media organizations to audiences in the United States and Europe.

Tiananmen Square Massacre

While the initial presence of the military failed to quell the protests, the Chinese authorities decided to increase their aggression. At 1 a.m. on June 4, Chinese soldiers and police stormed Tiananmen Square, firing live rounds into the crowd.

Well, the ship Virginia carried people among whom the majority was men or those who were young male adults. On this ship there were not many people who traveled in couples or who were married. Majority of these travelers were travelling alone on Virginia boat. As opposed to New England boat on which most people were traveling with families consisting mixed age groups and gender. A simple reason for the later to carry families was that people on that are a bit rich than other and they can afford servants who help them.

Teachers in experientially-based classrooms do not require rules and procedures because of the nature of instruction.a. Trueb. F

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is False. Rules and procedures are necessary in an experientially-based classroom.

Explanation:

Although the structure of an experientially-based classroom is different because students are given a lot of autonomy to work independently, there is still a need for rules and procedures. For example, in an experientially-based classroom, the professor is more of a facilitator who helps students to be accountable for their own work by setting deadlines and showing evidence of service project progress. There also needs to be rules established that assure that outspoken and confident students do not dominate discussion or take up all the opportunities for hands-on and experiential learning.
