THE LAW PROFESSION IN CHINA AND COLOMBIA.


The law is a profession that exists in any society, but it can be very different respect to the kind of culture that handles each country. To engage to this profession, according to the texts consulted, China and Colombia are very different respect to the requirements in areas such like recruitment, and political validity of diplomas. Only a few similarities rescue in the two countries according to the subject.

First of all is too important to explain that China developed a different kind of customs than Colombia, it is based in a different politic, economic and social system, because China uses a comunist system and on the other hand Colombia’s politic, economic and social system is based in a capitalist view. In the lawyer recruiment case in China, the State in addition to the lawyer title and practice time, demands a lawyer qualification based in criterias given by the University and the lawyer works to the State. While in Colombia only need the title of lawyer and have done the practice time and is independent, in other words is a particular.

Also, is very important to clarify that the hiring of lawyers in China, this is, that people who want to have access to justice, have the right to choose the lawyer that they want, whose fees will be pay by the State. This point of view is very different in Colombia, because in this country, people, in most of the cases, if you choose a lawyer, he will have to be pay by themselves, and unusually is paid by the Colombian government.

One of the only similarities found in this analysis is that the legal profession in the two countries has the same purpose, which is to ensure justice and equity to partners of each State.

In order to conclude, I can say that the great difference that exist in this proffesion is because the to countries handles a different politioc, economic, and social sistems. Also, like must normal, the laws of the each country are very differents. For the reasons explained, about the view, there are a lot of fifferences betwen the two countries and a few similarities.

The China Civil War (1927-1950)


In the history of the humanity always has been very important the confrontation of the different forms of political thougth. An important example of this that can explain this phenomenon is the case of China with the Civil War in the middle of the last century, which consisted in the confrontation between military and political ideas developed by the nationalist party and the comunist party respectively in the way to raise the power. This event produced as a principal consecuence the change of direction in the social, political and economical aspects of the country.

The China civil war began in 1927 April and it ended in 1950 May. It was the conflict that there were between the Koumintang (China Nationalist Party or KMT) led by Chiang Kai-Shek and the communist party (PCCH) led by Mao. It began after of the North Expedition, when a part of the KMT ending the alliance created among the KMT and PCCH. On the one hand, the war ending in 1950 with a cease not official of the hostilities and for this reason the communist party raise the power in the Continental Chinese, so, proclaiming the Popular Republic Of China. On the other hand the insular Chinese was ruled for the KMT which you can see too now days.

The principal consequence that can see with this event is the change of the direction in the political, social and economical matters. It is reflected in a big form in the last 30 years principally with the creation of the new politics in the way to improve the conditions of the workers, the folk, and in the economical aspect, principally with the foreign investment.

There is a sector of history scholars that thinking that this change the power and politics are not the best way for the country. They expose that the nationalist thought would be better for the political, social and economical way of China.

Taking everything into account, I can say that this event change in big form the political, social and economical aspects in the country with part of bad things and part of good things. Also, I can say that the different studies about the matter have unlike and let all a world of ideas for that you choose and create your own idea about to this peculiar and important event in the global history.

Differences between Mao Zedong and Chiang Kai-shek.


Mao Zedong and Chiang Kai-shek, were leaders who had an important participation in the modern history of China with a great amount of differences of political, economic and social ideas and they only shared in common the idea to govern the Republic of China.

Principally, the first of them was the successor of he second, but this event passed because the communist revolution, led by Mao, could take the power in 1949 and overthrow the nationalism, which was led by Chiang Kai-shek. Then, the China before this event was named The Republic of China and after of this, is called the People’s Republic of China

On the one hand, Mao studied law, and he dedicated to the study of the differents philosophical ideas like Marx and the communism ideas that developed the URSS. In the other hand, Chiang Kai-shek was a military man who was dedicated to create strategies in order to organize nationalist state.

While, the govern Chiang had to supported the invasion of Japan, and the second global war, the communist party was supported for the Japanese, which helped in great form to raise the power to Mao.

The only one similarity that had these two Chinese leaders is the idea to raise the power and took the control of all China.

In order to conclude, This leaders political characters of the history of China have many important ideological and polytical ideas.

Old Chinese and actual Chinese.






















The history of China is very extensive, peculiar and interesting, but for practical effects it is possible to be divided in two: the old Chinese until 1949, and after this date the modern Chinese, when Mao takes the power and declares the People's Republic of China and begins a new one was that it fortifies with the death of Mao, because with the same policy of him, Chinese has advanced of strong way in its economic, political and social aspects, marking a great difference and a few similarities with the old China.

First of all, one of the most important differences which were marking for this event is the political aspect. China before 1949 handled a political system based on feudalism; now a days the political system of China is based in the socialist system, which began with the took of the power for Mao. With this change of political ideas and with the died of Mao, the new government with similar ideas of Mao but a few capitalism practice to the globalization, now a days China has improved in a big form many kind of features like an education and jobs for the big china s population in the last 30 years.

Another important factor that has been changed in the history of China, and principally since the died of Mao, is the economic aspect, then with the introduction of few capitalism practice aspects, the economy of china began to funded in the foreign investment, exportation of agric cultural products, and investment in industrial exploitation. The change is based in that China was an agricultural economy only.

The most important similarity founded in the different texts consulted, show us that the only features that has not changed in the two Chinas, is the discrimination and the bad treat that the women have had to the long of the Chinese history.

In order to conclude, China is a country which has been many changes to the long of its history, which are to admire and that has brought now a days many benefits for the china population in the most part of its aspects, although, for example the woman aspect has not changed much.

China: Working opportunities and policies for foreigners.


The office State Council of China has published an article which show us that the society in china is founded in the working because the high population and also that China does not have a high economic development, has been make to create a politics which are based in the progress of the working and the social security.

China, like a socialist country, is founded in the well being and try no improve the life style of the citizens because it seem to be that the China antique suffered a big unemployment crisis. Nevertheless the problem of unemployment live still but this decrease more now a days.

In the other hand, there are who think that China suffer cronical unemployment problem because in the last times has exploted the sprouting of a group of persons because times ago existed a high increase of the population and therefore ,now a days they are adults and can to ingress to work.

To sum up, the working opportunities in China are not so much, but in the future is considered that the employment increase in a big form with the new policies that the State has created. for this reason is so difficult the working opportunities for foreing people.

China: The Country with its Own Culture







Some social researchers show us that China is a Country with its own culture and costumes. The music, religion, traditions are very proper of it. Besides, the politic and social structure is very different than the most of the systems of the other countries of the world.

First of all, this research is not so true because in the last times China has received many features of differents countries, specially of the United States, then in this place you can see buildings very similar like in EU, besides now a days the Chinese music also same at the American style. In the other hand, the politic and social system into China is socialist, it make difference to others countries. But like a state recognized for other nations as an independent republic, China behaves like a capitalist organization.

Although China still has many important traditions that has lived and these existent now a days like a dragons. Is true that the traditions in China have been changed in the history course, for example in this place there are many kind of religions that folk practice.

To sum up, China is an exotic combination of different features. This point of view makes it different of other nations. But in essence, it does not have an own culture.

Modern Frienships

Now a days, with growth of new tendences, technologies and costumes, the relationships has changed. For that reason the cultrural ambient modifies the frienships. In the youth we can see it with the new medios and broad-cast of communication like internet services (chat, messenger, internet groups, personal spaces, etc)

The most common tendences to create or stablish a friendships is in an internet groups, because in this kind of groups, the folk with the same kind of ideas are agruped to find people with the similar thougth.

Another way to know more people are in the chat rooms or in messenger cause you can find anothers that are open mind and try to find more friends without care the ideals and particular thougth.

In ,y personal opinion these ways has been importants advances in the modern times. I think that the most popular media that people use now a days ai an internet groups because you can know and find folk that they want. If you want to know them, also, you can write a personal message and conect with them.
