Abstract
This paper examines how, in 1946, the French entered a war against the Viet Minh who desired Viet Nam?s independence and were led by communist Ho Chi Minh. It looks at how American long-term fear of Communism and the unity of Vietnam under Ho Chi Minh encouraged the U.S. to maintain its involvement with this Asian country and how it was not until 1973 and a multitude of losses that America finally pulled out. It analyzes whether Ho Chi Minh was a major threat to Western democracy, basing its facts on the book, "Ho Chi Minh", by world-renowned authority on Vietnam, William Duiker, who concludes that Ho Chi Minh was a Vietnamese patriot and a leader with whom the U.S. could and should have been able to work.
From the Paper
"In fact, Ho Chi Minh was not always treated well by his fellow Communist leaders (ibid). When Ho visited Moscow in 1950, Stalin's attitude to his guest was, according to Nikita Khrushchev, "offensive" and "infuriating." The situation with Mao Tse-Tung in China was not much better. Having convinced himself that war with America was a necessary evil and might break out anywhere on the Chinese borders, Mao looked on Vietnam as a useful buffer state, or another Korea. Ho regarded the Chinese with great uneasiness; one of the constant themes of Vietnam's history has been resistance to Chinese domination."

Abstract
This paper examines Ho Chi Minh's early life in order to understand how he impacted not only Vietnam but the world, up until his death on September 3, 1969. This paper looks at Vietnam's history and explains how Ho Chi Minh's leadership affected the country. By understanding the personality of this cunning, ruthless and murderous leader, it shows how he so easily manipulated his people, the media and others to express his goals.
From the Paper
"During the period of 1919-1923, Ho became quite an activist for the Communist Movement then afoot throughout Europe and other places such as his native Asia, specifically Vietnam. He was in fact one of the founders of the French Communist Party. He studied, wrote, lectured, and organized on several fronts. He, in 1919 when President Wilson was in Paris for the Versailles Peace Conference, tried to meet with the President. He was totally rebuffed and Isolationist United States did not even consider his proposals for Vietnam's independence. A mistake which costs us dearly in the not too distant future as we all are aware of in so many ways."

From the Paper
"Ho Chi Minh was one of the most charismatic leaders of the twentieth-century. His innate intelligence, long life and foreign travels provided him with a great depth of knowledge of politics, human nature, and the psychology of leadership. He applied all that'd he'd learned as he led his people towards independence, first against the French and then against the Americans. He was beloved by his people, who reverently called him "Uncle Ho" and it was this intense loyalty that enabled the small Asian country of North Vietnam to defeat the superpower military might of the United States in the Vietnam War."

Abstract
The paper shows that national identity is crucial to the Vietnamese because they have an extensive history of colonial rule, beginning in 2nd Century B.C. and ending in 1945 when the Vietnamese drove the French out of their land. The paper traces the rise in Vietnamese nationalism until Ho Chi Minh rose as a communist and nationalist leader in the 1940s to unite his fellow countrymen.
From the Paper
"Vietnamese nationalism and anti- colonialism are indistinguishable because many of the nationalist organizations revolted against French colonial rule. National pride and unique national identity were possible only when oppressive colonial rulers were defeated. From the mid 18th century to 1945, France influenced Vietnam through physical presence like building hydraulic dams, and indirect presence by France manipulating Vietnamese officials as if they were puppets . Between 1904 and 1960, Vietnamese leaders formed numerous revolutionary organizations . Modern Vietnamese nationalism, for the sake of this brief paper, begins at the turn of the century."

Abstract
This paper analyses the satirical play "Eastward Ho", written early in 1605- the joint creation of Ben Jonson, George Chapman and John Marston. It discusses the underlying themes throughout the play and examines their dramatic effectiveness. In particular, it reviews the Royal Shakespeare Company's (RSC) dramatisation.
From the Paper
"The final two scenes of the play take place in a prison. The prisoners are chained to the central balcony; sitting with their legs hanging through the bars leaving the audience with the definite impression these people aren?t going anywhere anytime soon. This particular piece of staging was effective as the theme of imprisonment (both physical and social) runs through the play, example including a Goldsmith?s daughter trying unsuccessfully to wed a knight in an attempt to raise her social class and the physical imprisonment of that same knight due to his poverty- another form of incarceration."

Abstract
This paper compares two films, one from Japan, Hayao Miyazaki?s" My Neighbor Totoro" and China, Yuen Woo-Ping?s "The Tai Chi Master?. It analyzes the aspects involving the relationship nature has with the beliefs and values of the Shinto and Taoism religion that are prevalent in the films. The author states that the films' similarities reveal the common ideals that both religions are founded on: respect and gratitude towards nature and its power.
From the Paper
"Hayao Miyazaki?s" My Neighbor Totoro" and Yuen Woo-Ping?s "The Tai Chi Master", one from Japan and another from China, will be analyzed in order to see how the beliefs and values of Shinto associate nature with human beings while Taoism interprets nature as the ultimate source of power. My Neighbor Totoro reveals Shinto beliefs throughout the films by presenting the audiences how Shinto belief ? that nature has a great deal of influence on human beings and actions one takes originate from nature ? has become a critical factor of Japanese people?s life on a daily basis. The Tai Chi Master emphasizes the notion that one can strengthen himself from understanding the order of nature. Yuen leads the audiences through the main character?s ordeal and how he manages to recover from the emotional and physical injury by questioning himself about the force and order of nature which eventually enables him to discover the path leads to his goal."

From the Paper
"The Way of the Beaver addresses the issue of empowerment. The outsider watches as beavers rebuild their dam after heavy rain caused the water level of the river to rise. The beavers work busily, just as the squirrels did in the previous example. The outsider observes that no one appears to be the boss, to which the Native American replies that each beaver is his own boss, acting as an independent contractor. Workers should behave the same way, and if management steps in and requires that their jobs be performed in a certain fashion, productivity will suffer. The Way of the Beaver can be achieved in three steps: employees must know how their job relates to the overall purpose of the company; they must know that their feelings are respected and that they are "in the loop"; and, finally, the company should set achievable goals for the workers."

Abstract
The United States of America is a melting pot of various communities who have been residing in the country for generations. They feel assimilated into the American culture where many of them have been born and brought up in the U.S. and hence have remote connections with the country of their ancestors. However, there are times when these communities are in doubt over their assimilation. This paper studies the case of Wen Ho Lee - an employer of the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). Dr. Lee, a Taiwanese-born American was accused of tampering, altering and concealing classified information, as well as with removing secret weapons files from the Los Alamos computers. The paper describes the Asian-American community's anger against Dr. Lee's 9-month solitary confinement before he was freed in 1999 and their claims that his arrest was made on the grounds of racial prejudice.
From the Paper
"Congressman Mike Honda D-San Jose also contributed by taking the petition to President George Bush. The campaign has been founded and led by Cecilia Chang of Fremont who believes that the fight is not for Wen Ho Lee alone but the entire nation that it represents which includes every American of Asian descent. She added that such organized response would guard and protect the Asian Americans against what may happen in the future. The campaign for getting as many signatures in support of Wen Ho Lee as possible extended itself to the internet where the supporters signed up online at www.wenholee.org. The petition campaign was co-sponsored by the Sacramento Chinese American Political Action Committee, East Bay Asian Voters Consortium, Association of North California Chinese Schools, South Alameda County Peace and Justice Coalition, and Joint Chinese University Alumni Association of Southern California. Endorsers included Citizens for a Better Community (Fremont), Honolulu Japanese American Citizens League and United Muslims of America (Sunnyvale) ."

From the Paper
"During the period 1405-1433, the Ming Dynasty eunuch Cheng Ho led seven imperial Chinese naval expeditions throughout Southeast Asia. The voyages served primarily as diplomatic and exploratory missions, in the course of which numerous exotic objects, personnel, and animals were brought back to the court of Emperor Yung-lo. After Yung-lo?s death, his son Zhu Gaozhi succeeded to the throne and put an end to the expeditions. This action was precipitated by several factors: the rivalry between civil officials and eunuchs in the imperial administration, the immense financial cost of the voyages, and the Confucian ideals that were the official doctrine of the Ming Dynasty.
Cheng Ho?s seven voyages are historically important because they represent one of China?s greatest periods of expansion and exploration, and beginning with their termination, China?s period of .."

Abstract
This paper discusses the philosophy, practice, history and main principles of Taoism. The paper also explains its social importance and the benefits of bringing the body and spirit into harmony through practiced movement.
From the Paper
"Taoism, or as it is often called Daoism, basically equates to English as the path or way. Taoism is more than an ancient Chinese spiritual philosophy or discipline. Robinson maintains that the concept of Taoism is fairly indefinable and must be experienced for Taoism refers to a power which envelops, surrounds and flows through all things living and non-living. The Tao is seen regulating the natural processes and nourishing the balance in the individual and the universe."

Abstract
This paper explains that the conquest and colonialization by France of Vietnam began by using the Catholic Church and their missionaries as an advance party to eliminate the threat to France's other vast southeast Asia holdings and ended with France's embarrassing military defeat in 1954 at Dien Bien Phu. The author points out that the nationalist movement arose in Vietnam in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and gained momentum during the Japanese occupation of World War II; after the end of World War II, the Vietminh party (the League for the Independence of Vietnam, a coalition of nationalists and Communist groups), headed by Ho Chi Minh, established a republic with its capital at Hanoi. The paper relates that President Truman, not President Kennedy, were the first leader to entangle the U.S. in the Vietnamese malaise because Truman actually sent military forces to set up missions in Indochina to protect the United Nations troops in Korea from being attacked by Communists from both China and North Vietnam.

"The first European missionary executed in the Vietnamese Central capital of Hue was Frenchman Francois Isidore Gagelin. This of course was a public and highly publicized event wherein the Good Father Gagelin was publicly strangled. Not hanged mind you but strangled with two beefy hands of a huge Vietnamese executioner. This incident happened in the late 1830s and stuck in the minds of both the Catholic Church and the French government."
