Review those five concepts and apply them to your life in Hong Kong;does Hong Kong foster and promote those qualities that we consider paramount in order to be a good inventor? If so, where and how are they fostered; do we learn these qualities in school, in Methodist College?
If you think these qualities are not fostered in Hong Kong, then do you think Hong Kong people should promote these qualities; why or why not?

These 5 concepts are: have curiosity, a strong purpose to do experiments, high knowledge, the loving heart to science and inflexible.

I think I can curious in learning, and a strong purpose to do things that I want, I am very weak in these things. I am soft in the purpose. I hope I have high knowledge, then I will have more sense of security, when I go to diferent places, meet different people, and see different things. I love science, but not much, science is difficult, I am afraid of it. I mean I can inflexible to support something, don't give up.

Yes, Hong Kong fostered and promoted these qualities that we consider paramount in order to be a good inventor, but a few. Some of them are fostered in school, by their teachers; at home, by their families, or go to some learning workrooms, etc. They are fostered by looking other people's action, experiments, read people's books. Unfortunatly, there are not many good qualities people, in Hong Kong. I think we must foster good qualities Hong Kong people.

However, we don't learn these qualities in school, in Methodist College. This is my opinion.

History H.W.: the 13 colonies and the Hong Kong colony faced

at least two paragraphs describing the differences and similarities in the economic and political contexts that the 13 colonies and the Hong Kong colony faced. Put this on your blog! If you want extra credit, correctly use the grammar items - units 13 through 18 - that we have gone over this term and underline them! For your reference, I've linked this page to some more resources describing colonial life.



The differences:
Britain's economic policy increases the 13 colonies' disconent. The raw materials must sell to Britain only. They had no free trade. And the colonies use Britain's ships to transport goods only. The British government passed some actsso that the colonists had to pay for the cost of keeping this army, the acts are: the Sugar Act(1764), the Stamp Act(1765) and the Toenshend Acts(1767)
This set off a a quarrel between the 2 sides over right to tax led to the American War of Independence.

The growth of Hong Kong depended greatly on domestic transport of citizens and cargo across the Victoria Harbour.
Many new industries were set up in Hong Kong in 1990s.These included the lamp,battery,textile and ratio industries.
The government started to build public hospitals in 1848; set up the Sanitary Board in 1883; and ordered Chinese prople to whitewash their houses twice a year.
In 1864 the first large scale modern bank Hong Kong Shanghai Bank would be established turning Hong Kong into the focal point of financial affairs in Asia.
One observer summed up the decades as "politics, propaganda, panic, rumor, riot, revolution and refugees".

The similarities of the 13 colonies and Hong Kong is they could have their own system.

History H.W.: Renaissance character

My name was Niccolò Machiavelli, an Italian diplomat, political philosopher, musician, poet, and playwright. I was borned in San Casciano in Val di Pesa village near of the city-state of Florence, Italy, at 23/5/1469—22/6/1527. My tradition are Renaissance philosophy, Realism and Classical Republicanism. My main interests are Politics, Military theory and History.I was a figure of the Italian Renaissance and a central figure of its political component, most widely known for his treatises on realistpolitical theory (The Prince) on the one hand and republicanism (Discourses on Livy) on the other. I was influenced by Cicero, Sallust, Livy, Xenophon.

I was born into a tumultuous era, in which Popes were leading armies, and wealthy city-states of Italy were falling one after another into the hands of foreign powers — France, Spain and the Holy Roman Empire. From 1502 to 1503, I was a witness to the effective statebuilding methods of the soldier/churchman Cesare Borgia, an immensely capable general and statesman who was at that time engaged in enlarging my territories in central Italy through a mixture of audacity, prudence, self-reliance, firmness and, not infrequently, cruelty.

In August 1512, following a tangled series of battles, treaties, and alliances, the Medici with the help of Pope Julius II regained power in Florence and the republic was dissolved. I, having played a significant role in the republic's anti-Medici government, was removed from office and in 1513 I was accused of conspiracy and arrested. Although tortured on the rack I denied my involvement and was eventually released. I retired to my estate at Sant'Andrea in Percussina near Florence and began writing the treatises that would ensure hmy place in the development of political philosophy and conduct.

In a famous letter to my friend Francesco Vettori, I described how I spent my days in exile:

When evening comes, I return home [from work and from the local tavern] and go to my study. On the threshold I strip naked, taking off my muddy, sweaty workday clothes, and put on the robes of court and palace, and in this graver dress I enter the courts of the ancients and am welcomed by them, and there I taste the food that alone is mine, and for which I was born. And there I make bold to speak to them and ask the motives of their actions, and they, in their humanity reply to me. And for the space of four hours I forget the world, remember no vexation, fear poverty no more, tremble no more at death; I pass indeed into their world.

Much has been made of the notion of two Machiavellis: one of The Prince, one of the Discorsi.

Now, let me talk about my works. My works are "The Prince",my best known work, in which I describe the arts by which a Prince (a ruler) can retain control of his realm. "Discorsi", if The Prince was Machiavelli's textbook on a monarchy, my Discourse on the First Ten Books of Titus Livy (which comprise the early history of Rome) is a paean to the republic.

I also wrote plays (Clizia, Mandragola), poetry (Sonetti, Canzoni, Ottave, Canti carnascialeschi) and novels (Belfagor arcidiavolo) as well as translating classical works.

Finally, I died in San Casciano, a few miles outside of Florence, in 1527. my resting place is unknown; however a cenotaph in my honor was placed at the Church of Santa Croce in Florence. The Latin sentence on the tomb — TANTO NOMINI NULLUM PAR ELOGIUM — is translated as either 'for so great a name, no praise is adequate' or 'No elegy is equal to such a name'.
