China: a Resource Unit for Secondary Schools
Prepared originally by a group of prospective social studies teachers at Brooklyn College and edited by Professor Leonard S. Kenworthy. AFFAIRS MATERIALS Brooklyn College Brooklyn I 0, N. Y. Revised Edition: 1959 p.l Resource Unit on China for Secondary Schools Introduction China is in the news today--and will undoubtedly be in the news for years (or centuries ) to come. It is the world's largest nation, with approximately 650 million per sons--or about one person in every four on our globe. In size it is the world's lecond largest country- next to the U.S.S.R. in total area and larger than Canada, Brazil, and the U.S.A. It is a country with nearly 4000 years of history and of great contributions in many fields to the world. In this vast land there is a revolution underway today which is political, social, and economic in nature. This revolution has caused the rest of the world to watch China with interest--and in some cases with great concern. Certainly the repurcussions of this revolution are being felt all over the world. Furthermore, the fact that the communist government of China has not been recognized by the United States and has not been admitted to the United Nations and its specialized agencies has provoked heated and bitter discussions around the globe. These questions are still being debated and dis cussed and will be for some time to come. What happens in China is of profound interest to the rest of the world. It is a country which needs to be studied in secondary schools throughout the United States. -

Towards a Psychobiographical Study of Lin Yutang
What Maketh the Man? Towards a Psychobiographical Study of Lin Yutang Roslyn Joy Ricci School of Social Science/Centre for Asian Studies University of Adelaide November 2013 Abstract Dr Lin Yutang, philologist, philosopher, novelist and inventor was America’s most influential native informant on Chinese culture from the mid-1930s to the mid-1950s. Theoretical analysis of Lin’s accomplishments is an ongoing focus of research on both sides of the North Pacific: this study suggests why he made particular choices and reacted in specific ways during his lifetime. Psychobiographical theory forms the framework for this research because it provides a structure for searching within texts to understand why Lin made choices that led to his lasting contribution to transcultural literature. It looks at foundational beliefs established in his childhood and youth, at why significant events in adulthood either reinforced or altered these and why some circumstances initiated new beliefs. Lin’s life is viewed through thematic lenses: foundational factors; scholarship and vocation; the influence of women; peer input; and religion, philosophy and humour. Most of his empirical life journey is already documented: this thesis suggests why he felt compelled to act and write as he did. In doing so, it offers possible scenarios of why Lin’s talents developed and why his life journey evolved in a particular manner, place and time. For example, it shows the way in which basic beliefs—formed during Lin’s childhood and youth and later specific events in adulthood—affected his life’s journey. It analyses how his exposure to the theories of Taoism, Confucianism and Buddhism affected his early childhood basic belief—Christianity—and argues that he accommodated traditional Chinese beliefs within Christianity.
