¶ … moral winner of this confrontation was Chiang Kai Shek and the political winner was Zhang Xueliang. Chiang's plea towards the general for obedience to the central government highlighted his concern for having a unified central government free of outside influence. He was aware that letting outside influences from diverse parties, such as the Communists, in could cause infighting and power struggles within the regime, leading to its ineptitude. That situation would give the Japanese an opportunity to consolidate their hold on China. Thus, he was aware that if China wanted to defeat the Japanese, it could not afford to have its central government be at the mercy of bickering political parties.
The political winner in this confrontation was Zhang Xueliang because he successfully launched a coup d'etat against Chiang. Although Zhang later freed him, he forced Chiang to cooperate with the Communists for a while. He was in charge of the Northeastern Army, which served an essential part in the civil war. When he began to side with the Communists during the civil war, he became capable of undermining Chiang's strategy for defeating them. He had the support of his army behind him, since some of the soldiers were from Manchuria. They had experienced the Japanese invasion firsthand and so were reluctant to fight the Red Army while their own territory was being lost.
The confrontation greatly weakened China because it revealed how weak and ineffective Chiang's central government had become due to civil war. His easy capture and imprisonment during the mutiny was evidence of this. The confrontation also revealed that China was wasting its resources in fighting a civil war rather than a war against the Japanese. The fight against the Communists was highly unpopular among the Chinese who feared that Japan would take over the entire country.

' Indians across the political spectrum, especially the country's powerful nuclear weapons establishment, are critical of the NPT, arguing that it unfairly warps international hierarchies to the disadvantage of the non-nuclear-weapon states" (1998:15). In its efforts to balance the pressures from the international community with its own self-interests in formulating foreign policies, the position adopted by India has been starkly different than other countries.

Thematic Development in "Young Goodman Brown" and "The Most Dangerous Game" While Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Young Goodman Brown" and Richard Connell's "The Most Dangerous Game" both feature the same basic theme of good vs. evil, the additional themes that the author utilize in telling their stories serves to differentiate them in a significant way, so that Hawthorne's story suggests that evil can corrupt even a successful protagonist while Connell suggests that his protagonist
(Eljamal; Stark; Arnold; Sharp, 1999) To conclude, it be said that if we will not be able to master imparting the capability to think in a developed form, our profession, as well as perhaps our world, would be influenced and taken over by someone who would be able to outsmart us to find it out. We would in that case not only remain thinking as to what happened but would
.. The history of miscegenation in this country...demonstrate[s] how society has used skin color to demarcate lines between racial groups and to determine the relative position and treatment of individuals within racial categories. (Jones, 2000, p. 1487) Prior to the civil war lighter skinned blacks were more likely to gain their freedom, and own property, through favor or inheritance.
