On the morning of June 5, 1989, in Beijing, China, a photograph was taken that “[captured] a universal truth in an existential moment,” as phrased by Gerald Kreyche, an author of a USA Today magazine article (Kreyche). Jeff Widener of the Associated Press captured the timeless image of Tank Man, the lone protester, according to an article by Ka Khalsa and Ki Fateh commemorating the 20th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre, who stood up to a line of 18 advancing tanks that were filing out of Beijing the day after the Chinese government massacred an estimated hundreds to hundreds of thousands of Chinese citizens and students (Khalsa and Fateh). Chinese government troops – “armored personnel carriers, tanks, and soldiers armed with semi-automatic weapons” – challenged “unarmed citizens and students,” says documentarian and filmmaker Antony Thomas (Thomas). Much of the incident was caught on tape & in photographs and released to the world, bringing worldwide humility and infamy to the Communist Chinese government and military, as well as to Chairman Mao. Today, “[t]he authorities [in China] are afraid of [media]; they know [its] power. … Cameras in … hands [other than their own] are considered dangerous, and with good reason” (Thomas); visibility to the public’s eye also brings vulnerability, as well as attention to the desires and demands of the Chinese people – democracy and reform – but most of all it brings awareness to the world about Communist oppression by the Chinese government upon its people. The military personnel driving the tanks were, in a sense, playing a deranged version of Simon Says; whatever action the driver of the first tank took, the others followed suit – this made the immediate reaction of the military personnel to Tank Man’s stand unpredictable to bystanders – ironically on the Avenue of Eternal Peace, where the incident occurred.

“[A]rmed only with shopping bags,” the man ran into the middle of the street and “stood, waiting, as the tanks approached [him]” (Khalsa and Fateh), “challenging [them] to run him down” (Kreyche). Military personnel are only to follow orders, however, and no order had been given to crush anyone who dared to confront the tanks as they left Tiananmen Square; the driver of the tank seemingly was not sure whether or not to do so, and instead came to a halt; to many, it was “a breathtaking standoff” (Khalsa and Fateh).The front tank veered right “to avoid him – he kept in front of it,” waving with a shopping bag in his hand at the tanks and remaining firm in his defiant decision (Kreyche), so the tank backed up and tried to go left around the man, but again Tank Man waved the bag and stepped in front of the tank (Thomas). Finally the tank just stopped trying to avoid the man and halted completely – the driver even shutting off the tank’s engine – while Tank Man nimbly climbed upon the tank and “banged his fist on the metal monster” (Khalsa and Fateh).He crouched there for a few moments, seemingly attempting to communicate to the soldiers inside, and as the man “clambered [down and] resumed his blocking position,” the driver of the tank shockingly opened the hatch (Khalsa and Fateh) – some scholars and historians speculate that, while the man would not have had the chance to respond to the driver, this was to talk to the young man (Thomas). Tank Man would not have had the chance to successfully talk to the driver because at that point quite a scene had been made and the young man was quickly ushered away by a handful of people.

<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Task Two: Evaluate your topics' influence(s) (due Monday, March 12th)

<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Please write two extended power paragraphs which each cite a minimum of 3 sources: two new ones and any of the three sources used in Task One. <span style="color: #800080; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">PROMPT: Discuss the scope of influence of your topic on the 1980s. How extensive was the influence? Which part of society was influenced? Did the change endure or stimulate additional changes? What is the topic's legacy? What impact did the topic have in the Twenty-First Century.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 17px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Please write **two** extended power paragraphs to address this prompt.

<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"> The photograph of Tank Man represents an “extraordinary act of defiance and courage that can never be forgotten,” characterized by “a young Chinese man standing defiantly in front of … advancing [tanks]” (Kreyche). According to a BBC News article, the image of Tank Man has been one of the most “enduring … and … iconic photographs of the 20th Century” (Tiananmen); the man “shocked the world” by “challenging the tank to run him down” (Kreyche). By confronting the tanks that the night before had massacred many thousands of citizens “during the government crackdown on … demonstrations in Beijing” (Sneh), Tank Man was symbolizing the “set of ideas” that upheld the prodemocracy movement in China, writes Itai Sneh, author of many articles found in reliable reference books such as __Dictionary of American History__. According to David Pong, editor of __ Prodemocracy Movement (1989) __, those ideas consisted of the goal to allow citizens “to enjoy the basic freedoms of association, expression, publication, and demonstration,” meaning that they are attempting to demand the right to “criticize … without being sent to jail” (Prodemocracy). In an attempt to quell Chinese citizens’ personal freedoms, so as to prevent any more embarrassment or repercussions should any other outrageous incident such as the Tiananmen Massacre occur, internet is closely monitored, “[authorities] have hundreds of [cameras] trained on Tiananmen Square” (Thomas), and media in general is controlled by government. This is to prevent citizens throughout the country from discovering information that might lead to uprisings, however it has resulted in civilians having lost all ability to seek digital social justice – though the Chinese government likely won’t take any action to change that.

<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">On the night of June 4, Tiananmen Square was a “war-zone” (Thomas). The cruelty peaked at a particular point in the night: the demonstrators were essentially blindfolded – the floodlights at Tiananmen Square were shut off, suddenly, every last one – then tanks converged on the square from four directions, crushing bicycles, protesters, and anything else in their way. The number of civilians killed in the massacre was never released, and over two decades later, the estimates range from [number] to [number] students, workers, doctors – citizens. It is also still unknown whether the men who escorted Tank Man away were government agents kidnapping him or his buddies dragging him out of harm’s (Thomas). As long as Tank Man is still alive – and he may be, unless he was captured by the Chinese government, in which case he is likely long dead – he has had nearly 23 years to reveal his identity (Thomas). And yet no one knows who tank man is, what happened to him, or who chaperoned him away.

<span style="background-color: #00ffff; color: #9008b6; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 20px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Task Three--JUDGE THE IMPACT OF THE INDIVIDUAL & ASSOCIATION--Due Mar. 26th <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Now that you have a basic understanding of your topic and know the scope of its influence, explain the forces that produced or created the topic. Additionally, identify the driving forces behind the society's reaction to your topic? Use the criteria described in the the **Great Man Continuum** to determine your topics long-run influence on society. Place your topic on the continuum and justify the reasons for your placement. Please confine your analysis to **two** extended power paragraphs with each one citing a minimum of 3 credible sources. <span style="background-color: #ffff00; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Encyclopedic sources are not acceptable for this task. <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">**PROMPT: Explain the forces that produced or created your topic. Use the four criteria of the Great Man Continuum to analyze the topic's long-run significance in American society. Specifically, (1) describe the significance of the accomplishment, (2) the endurance of the legacy, (3) extent of the topics influence, and** **(4) impact on daily life of people then and now.** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">“[Practically every aspect] of citizens’ lives, including marriage, childbearing, religious practices, employment, and place of residence,” has been controlled by China’s Communist dictator, Chairman Mao Zedong, who came to power in 1949, writes David Pong, editor also of __Political Control Since 1949__ (Political). The Tiananmen Square protests were not successful at political reform, but what was most significantly altered was the faith and confidence of the Chinese government in itself. “[I]n the late 1980s…, some Chinese [citizens began to press] for … political reforms” similar to the economic reforms that had begun to take shape in the 1970s (Political). Chinese citizens have had to express pro-democracy ideologies through protests since an opposition party has not been able to exist in China (Prodemocracy). One of the world’s most well-known protests was that of the Chinese students and citizens that became the Tiananmen Square Massacre. The Tiananmen Square incident started as “mostly-peaceful, student-led demonstrations,” but those demonstrations turned Tiananmen Square into “a war-zone” (Thomas).

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">After 40 years of strict Communist control, all hell broke loose when the People’s Liberation Army “fought its way into Beijing from four directions with orders to converge on the square” (Thomas). “[N]early seven weeks of protesting came to a bloody conclusion” on that summer’s night in Tiananmen Square (Political). While opposition to the Communist Party’s near-absolute control of the People’s Republic of China has sporadically been made public by China’s citizens, every attempt at reform has been unsuccessful and repressed by the government. Opposition made public to the Chinese government’s authority is eradicated by Zedong and any resistance, met with brute, sometimes military, force, “as a means to maintain [the Communist Party’s] authority and legitimacy” (Political). As filmmaker and documentarian Thomas portrayed, the abundance of ‘ripple effects’ of the Tiananmen Square Massacre has resulted in the authorities in China being afraid of media, “and with good reason” (Thomas). They also should have good reason to be afraid of their people – but are they?
