Answer: By 1405 CE Zheng He was an admiral in the imperial fleet, and he was selected by the emperor to lead a fleet across the Indian Ocean to explore the possibilities of new tributary states and bring them into the sphere of Chinese influence. The object of the voyages was to display the glory and might of the Chinese Ming dynasty and to collect tribute from the "barbarians from beyond the seas." Merchants also accompanied Zheng's voyages, Wu explained, bringing with them silks and porcelain to trade for foreign luxuries such as spices and jewels. The seven voyages of the Treasure Fleet were meant to display Chinese might to all the kingdoms and trade ports of the Indian Ocean world and to bring back exotic toys and novelties for the emperor.

Masteriza [31]

"The Republic" is one of Plato's most popular works. In it, he uses the character of Socrates to explore the role that justice plays in a society and the lives of individuals living within it. In the first two books, Socrates is given three different views on justice, which he disagrees with and tries to refute. This leads into a lengthy dialogue about the state, the individuals within it, education and the nature of all things.
