It is a happy coincidence that such a celebration should be in order at the time of the Review's evident emergence from the ran~s of embryonic underta~ings to those com­ prised of established and vital institutions. The newly instituted editorial board wishes at this time to pledge itself to the maintenance and furthering of the literary ideals so well defined by the previous editors.

    Aung San Suu Kyi (1945- )

    Aung San Suu Kyi (1945 - ) Major Events in the Life of a Revolutionary Leader All terms appearing in bold are included in the glossary. 1945 On June 19 in Rangoon (now called Yangon), the capital city of Burma (now called Myanmar), Aung San Suu Kyi was born the third child and only daughter to Aung San, national hero and leader of the Burma Independence Army (BIA) and the Anti-Fascist People’s Freedom League (AFPFL), and Daw Khin Kyi, a nurse at Rangoon General Hospital. Aung San Suu Kyi was born into a country with a complex history of colonial domination that began late in the nineteenth century. After a series of wars between Burma and Great Britain, Burma was conquered by the British and annexed to British India in 1885. At first, the Burmese were afforded few rights and given no political autonomy under the British, but by 1923 Burmese nationals were permitted to hold select government offices. In 1935, the British separated Burma from India, giving the country its own constitution, an elected assembly of Burmese nationals, and some measure of self-governance. In 1941, expansionist ambitions led the Japanese to invade Burma, where they defeated the British and overthrew their colonial administration. While at first the Japanese were welcomed as liberators, under their rule more oppressive policies were instituted than under the British, precipitating resistance from Burmese nationalist groups like the Anti-Fascist People’s Freedom League (AFPFL). In 1945, Allied forces drove the Japanese out of Burma and Britain resumed control over the country. 1947 Aung San negotiated the full independence of Burma from British control.

The president of a prominent college in another part of the country wrote an article during some of the more difficult years on the campuses entitled "How to Sur­ vive Though Surrounded by Students," or something like that. His first and most important word of advice was "Listen to them." It did not take two Constitutional Conventions to convince most of us on the faculty and in the admin­ istration that students ought to be listened to. Let me enumerate some of the ways in which students are listened to at Colby, and let me emphasize that what they have to say is taken seriously. Each year two students are elected by their fellows to be representatives to the board of trustees. They do not vote, but neither do the two faculty representa­ tives. They do, however, have the full privilege of the floor, and they receive all the written materials and hear all the discussions that full voting trustees have FEW OBSERVATIONS ARE IN ORDER WITH REGARD TO access to.

    Advances in Social Sciences Research Journal – Vol.5, No.6 Publication Date: June. 25, 2018 DoI:10.14738/assrj.56.4635. Derrah, R. (2018). Hidden Casualties: Burma, Siam (Thailand), and the Philippines in World War Two History and Film. Advances in Social Sciences Research Journal, 5(6) 43-53. Hidden Casualties: Burma, Siam (Thailand), and the Philippines in World War Two History and Film Rick Derrah ABSTRACT This paper examines the World War Two in Burma, Siam (Thailand), and the Philippines and the reflection of .that history within films produced during the same time period. War films were produced all three of these countries during the war period, but, in general, focus almost exclusively on American or British characters as the heroes. There is also very little content dealing with the casualties suffered by the indigenous populations of these countries during the war. Keywords: History; World War Two; Film INTRODUCTION In society popular culture often shapes the perception of the past. These views of the past are sometimes adjusted to make the story more appealing to the projected audience and with the advent of movies this phenomenon has only accelerated. Theses views build upon and reinforce each other creating constructs which are widely known. Movies are often able to create their own reality by building on these common constructs. The view of the movie becomes the reality for many people and this is problematic because movies and other forms of popular culture are created with agendas beyond simply telling a story. These hidden agendas can be simply the story the version of the story the creator wishes to express or even the motivation to make the work profitable.
