Answer:

Explanation:

Mao Zedong is most famous for being the leader of the Chinese Communist revolution and the founding father of the modern Chinese state the People’s Republic of China founded in 1949. In most western countries such as the USA, UK , Canada and Australia, Mao Zedong is depicted as the mindless dictator that killed tens of millions of people for seemingly no particular reason other than ‘power corrupts’ or simple incompetence . Lesser known to most people in the English speaking world is how the Chinese view Mao Zedong. The Chinese view of Mao is an image of a 20th century slavery abolitionist, a giant of anti-colonialism with 23 years of guerrilla warfare experience to his name, the most accomplished fighter for women’s rights in all of human history, the leader who united all of China, a champion of racial equality, a working class hero who defeated poverty on an unprecedented scale and challenged the world’s mightiest empires head on in war and came out victorious. With this said is it really no wonder that Mao Zedong is China’s most popular historic leader?

China before the revolution

Before the Chinese Communists came into power the Chinese people lived very different lives. China was an underdeveloped country which was divided between numerous warlords, tribes, and hereditary landlord dynasties which fought among each other for power and wealth. The average lifespan of a Chinese person was mid 40’s and hospitals were a luxury mostly reserved for the wealthy. Illiteracy was common and remote tribes practiced slavery. Some areas of China were so backwards and underdeveloped that people conducted headhunting rituals where they would kill people and put their heads in baskets outside their villages because they believed it would make the crops grow. Women were treated as property and were kept out of education, many were even bought and sold as slaves under the guise of ‘domestic servants’.

It can be very easy to poke holes in China’s modern day human rights record but to to get an idea of how China changed after the Communists came to power, let’s first look at China before the Communists won the revolution.

So how did the Communists change China?

Women’s rights

Before the communists came to power Chinese women were not considered as equals, particularly in South China women were bought and sold as slaves under the guise of “domestic servants”. These women bought and sold into slavery were known as “mui-tsai” which in Cantonese means “little sister”. It was very rare for a women to receive an education before the communist revolution because at this time in Chinese history women were usually sent to their husband’s household after marriage. This meant that to educate a woman was seen as not benefiting the family paying for the education. Many peasants could not afford to keep their daughter due to poverty and so would sell her to become a “mui-tsai” so that the rest of the family would not starve. American feminist author Agnes Smedley who took part in the Chinese revolution wrote extensively on the mui-tsai in her German language writings.

Answer:

Aphorism

Explanation:

Anagram is a word, phrase, or name formed by rearranging the letters of another. I don't think this is it because they is no words that were rearranged.

Aphorism is a pithy observation that contains a general truth. This could be true!

Analogy is a comparison between two things. This is not it because there are not two things being compared.

Allusion is an expression designed to call something to mind without mentioning it explicitly; an indirect or passing reference. This is not it because this sentence is explicit meaning it is very straight foward.

Out of all four of those... I would go with Aphorism.

I am having a bad day. Trouble writing an argumentive essay. Please help me if you are kind enough. Will mark brainliest​
Amanda [17]

While earning a B.A. and B.Phys.Ed. at McMaster U, Hamilton, ON, Can. circa 1970 I learned though we were still generating enough peace to keep us alive, the complementary amount of conflict predominated our existence. I asked why. After years of looking in and outside all the boxes, I found the answer is the question of meaning I call "the last why", for it will never be answered. So our ancestors tried with increasing effort to "fill the void" "Why am I?" found ever since, according to one story, it was first asked by 'Eve', who thus gave birth to humanity. The ways we try all conflict. The result is our history of increasing conflict that unless we quit, will soon end with our last puff of peace.

In 2005 my Mom's need gave me the opportunity to discover if I was a fool for asking why by seeking reaction to the explication of life in my epic "The Last Why: the poem" the only way an anonymous carpenter could, with a website. I first tried to attract visitors with prose posts but when I realized I could also rhyme reason in short verse I did for my poetry is much easier to remember. I've had to advertise so I could be twice the fool but likes suggest I may not be.  Abortion has again become

A leader in the daily news.

While one side wants to ban them all,

The other wants the right to choose.

This conflict is a recent one

Among the fights in history.

The reason for these fights in life

Is not at all a mystery.

The story of our life began

About 2 million years ago.

Our Mother Nature planned our life.

She made the choice to let us grow.

Our predecessors reached out to

The bounds of their capacities,

To ‘mothers’, and to Nature’s God,

Our natural activities.

They had unique capacities

Which were by Mother Nature picked.

They traveled side by side to them

Therefore their paths did not conflict.

They grew to be what we see now,

Gained natural intelligence,

Developed minds that could ask “why?”,

They started wanting to make sense.

Our Mother ‘Eve’ asked “Why am I?”

200,000 years ago,

Thus gave birth to humanity.

The answer, ‘Adam’ didn’t know.

Unknowns he feared instinctively.

This one he sensed he should avoid.

So he created a response

With which he tried to fill the void.

It didn’t for there is no way.

But his successors felt the need

To try repeatedly since then.

We still try now and don’t succeed.

Our tries are all unnatural

Activity. They’re all made up.

Increasing them diminishes  

The “reaching out…” that’s in our cup

Of life activities bestowed

On us by Nature long ago

With natural intelligence,

’Food’ for our minds we need to grow.

Our tries are motivated by

Unnatural intelligence

We claim mistakenly is truth

For make-believe does not make sense.

They’re all directed inwardly.  

Regardless of the blend we picked

Our tries oppose all others’ tries;

The consequence, they all conflict.

We try to fill the void with wealth,

Religion and philosophy,

Preeminence and jobs and love,

With any type of family.

We try with alcohol and drugs,

And then to make life most complex
