Minority Group: the Uyghur People of Xinjiang China

Instability between religious groups was also a common issue and yet another effect of the spread of Buddhism in China, and led to the consistent repression or defense of one’s religion (Doc’s 2, 3). Though Buddhism left a large effect and influence on multiple characteristics of society, it’s most noticeable in social and political classes

In breaking down the causations and effects of the Mongols regarding their rule on China during 1200-1500, one can see these include the implementation of governing philosophies of elected officials that shaped Chinese culture, the influence of tax-farming systems on China’s economy, and the influence of trade on social hierarchies. An example of an impact by the Mongols on Chinese rule is the negative influences of tax farming on Chinese economy. Another example of a causation of Mongol rule on China is the of tax-farming systems in order to improve revenue in the area.

The Mongol empire was the world’s largest empire. The Mongol’s practices and beliefs had both positive and negative effects. The large Mongolian empire promoted communication and diversity; however, despite this positive effect, the Mongolian empire housed the deaths of many innocent people. In addition to this, the Mongol empire fostered various religions, but enforced the same practices on everyone, no matter what religion they may follow; this brought order amongst the Mongolian empire.

Daily life in the Yuan Dynasty was and wasn’t enjoyable to different people. To begin with, Kublai khan made social classes based on race. The Mongols were at the top, then were non- chinese races like the Turks and the Muslims. At the very bottom were the Chinese race with the southern song. If you were a Mongol or maybe even a foreigner, then life would be more favorable because people respected you and treated you differently than the lower class. But if you were born Chinese, life would be much harder because people considered you as the lowest class. On the other hand, if you were raised in a mongol family, People had statuses in a family as well. As a child, you didn’t go to school. You learned from your parents or any other role model you had. The men were considered the dominant and had more power, the women had more freedom. If you were a chinese woman, you would have your feet bound together to break your bones whereas the Mongolian women got to ride on horseback, go into battles, got to speak their opinions, as well as cooking food and tending the cattle. When Kublai Khan declared the Yuan dynasty, he had no clue on how to how to run a government. He relied on Chinese officials to run the government but he still didn’t fully trust them. Imagine having someone taking rule of where you lived but then your race gets put at the very bottom of the social classes and nobody trusts you. Even worse, Your ruler welcomes foreigners in your home, take

Moreover, when they did so, it was for different reasons. Broadly, China exhibited greater flexibility in accepting migratory groups than do territorially exclusive modern states. That increased tolerance nonetheless varied with how materially threatening a given nomadic society was to the empire itself. To illustrate, I develop a simple, tripartite typology.

A pan-Asian American racial identity was formed in the 1960s to promote political solidarity and mobilization (Wei, 1993). This pan-Asian identity originally sought to unify Chinese, Filipino, Korean, and Japanese Americans, but has come to encompass a broader set of ethnic subgroups. The U.S. Census Bureau (2010) now defines “Asian” to include individuals with origins in East Asia (e.g., China, Japan), the Indian subcontinent (e.g., India, Pakistan), and Southeast Asia (e.g., Cambodia, Vietnam). Within this demographic category exists many different languages, religions, and cultures (U.S. Census Bureau, 2010; Pew Research Center, 2012). Different ethnic subgroups also possess distinct socioeconomic statuses (U.S. Census Bureau, 2015) and physical phenotypes (Brinton, 1980). Thus, the experiences of different Asian ethnic subgroups in the United States can vary

In addition, the influence of the non-Chinese Mongols influenced changes in traditional Chinese law and cultural practices. The rule of the Mongols was incredibly significant in improving the rights of women as they expanded “protective legislation for women” (Rossabi, “From Yuan” 331). The Mongol Emperors, perhaps under the influence of their wives, whom

The People’s Republic of China with a population 1.3 billion, is the third largest country in the world and has a land size of 960,000 square kilometres. It is a rapidly growing economy, with living standards being raised every year. However, human rights violations are still a part of daily life in some part of China and can still be seen in the present time. The most controversial issues include discrimination, right to live and not to be subject to torture, freedom of religion, opinion, to fair public hearing, rights to family and the right of movement. (The Consulate General of The People's Republic of China, 2003),(Infoplease, 2009)

At the peak of the Muslim expansion of the 7th century CE, the Islamic empire reached from North Africa to East and Southeast Asia. Rivaling the Roman Empire in size, the Islamic empire was successful in spreading Islamic beliefs throughout the Old World. Islam has had roots in China for the past 1,400 years , and survives its ancestral beginnings in China through the number of primarily Sunni Muslim ethnic groups spread throughout every region of China . During the Cultural Revolution of the Communist takeover, the Hui people, China’s largest Muslim ethnic group, played a large role in the preservation and revival of Islam in the new republic. In fact, it is the current religious freedom of the Hui people that confirms the Communist government’s

Many circumstances oblige people to move from their native country to a foreign one. From this movement of migration have emerged many ethnic groups. An ethnic group is a restraint number of persons living in a larger society and sharing the same distinct cultural heritage. Some people tend to bury their habits and accommodate to the new way of life. However others hold on to their identity and try to identify their race and maintain it. This enriches societies and makes them multi-racial. Therefore, every ethnic group is essential to complete the mosaic. Although they are sometimes threatened, minorities must fight to preserve their principles. Why must they fight? Because racial identification has many positive impacts on the members.

Initially, the term genocide covered national, racial, ethnic and religious groups as the only groups protected by genocide convention (Naimark 41). However, many scholars have debated to consider and include other groups that may help to liberate the people from the poor governance and threat from autocratic leadership of any given society such as political, cultural, economic, ideological and social groups. These groups play a vital role in promoting cultural and social values of people and cannot be undermined. It is, therefore, logical to respect and protect any attempt to destroy them. On the other hand, political groups are indeed essential to promoting democracy in the country. They discourage and condemn corrupt practices and exploitation of citizens by their leaders. Hence, these groups need protection as they play a prominent role in the society. This is because selfish political leaders may attack

In the past two years, a genocide has been going on in Myanmar that little people around the world know about. The victims that have been affected by this mass murder are the Rohingya Muslims, who originated from the subcontinent of India and are a minority group that makes up 5% of the country’s population. Today, the physical and emotional abuse endured by the Rohingya Muslims prevails a prominent issue in the Middle East. Over in Burma, many of the Muslims are murdered, beaten, or attacked by various religious groups, while government officials either stand and watch or occasionally help.
