Think about what we watched in class today. What responsibilites did the men in the helicopter have? Did they live up to them with reasonable integrity? Was what they did wrong? Why or why not?
Think about the men on the ground. In the situation they were in, did they do the right thing? Did they do anything wrong? Why or why not?
What precautions were taken in this situation? What precautions should have been taken in this situation?
Please be polite in your response.

Venting...right or wrong?
Gents-
Today we viewed a blog that someone posted. (If you know, respect the individuals right of privacy and do not include any names. My question to you is this.
Had something like this been posted in China, critical of the government, ... ok, nevermind that question.
Seriously, there were many points that the blogger brougth up that are worth a discussion. Please read the questions below and chime in with your opinion. BE CIVIL AND MAKE YOUR POINTS ELOQUENTLY.
What issues do you think were presented well? Which ones were not? Is a blog like the one posted this morning an acceptable forum for discussing these things? Why or why not?
We all have opinions, did this "blogger" step over the line? Why or why not?
Were there any issues that you feel really should be addressed? What kind of solution can you offer to any of the concerns mentioned?
Funny how I just asked you the other day about problems in school.

Ignoring the Past
Gents-
By now you have read "Ignoring China's Past." Give your immediate reaction and include an example of the text that supports what you think.
Next: How is this reading different then the reading we read in class about the man who went to prison? What are the similarities and differences?
Why do the leaders want to keep the Cultural Revolution quiet? What are the pros and cons to this?

Tank Man
If the government declares Martial Law, in which all civil rights are suspended, and it is legal for the government to do this, do citizens have a right to continue protesting? If so, why? What other options would they have?
