THE CULTURAL
REVOLUTION ASSIGNMENT
The Cultural
Revolution (essentially between 1966 and 1969) was a time in
China
’s history when the communist party under Mao Tse Tung encouraged the
proletariat to rise up against the old practices in Chinese culture.
The proletariat was led in this uprising by a group of people known as
the Red Guard. The Red Guard was
made up mostly of teenagers. They
were summoned by Chairman Mao Tse
Tung to protect the forward progression of the Chinese Communist Party against
"evil forces" such as imperialism and corruption, including those
within the Communist Party who were identified as deviationists.
Red Guards could be found in all aspects of
Chinese society from the Foreign Ministry down to supervision of siblings. The
Red Guards sat in the Foreign Ministry supervising officials while briefly
seizing power to conduct foreign affairs. Many Red Guards used their freedom to
carry out personal vendettas.
Your
assignment is to:
