This reading contained information about the life style of Burmese people. It definitely demonstrated a cultural imperialism due to the imposing of life style demanded by the government on the citizens of Burma or Myanmar as it is now called. This would be the thesis of this article ofcourse. Throughout the article there is a fear in the people of Myanmar, a fear that stops them from expressing themselves as liberally or just freely as they can. This fear of their seems to be the theme of this article.
This article reveals that the government in this country is governed by leaders who are diplomatic and want to r
un the country by their own suggested laws, which pretty much isolate the country from the rest of the world. There is no room for liberalism or freedom of speech in any manner, it’s the government way or the dead man’s way. This article does remind me of something similar that I have read about Korea and Japan aswell. How the government had laws set up for the system of living in their country. They control the number of reproduction in a household, which can be understandable but they fine people a five thousand dollar fine in their currency for spitting a chewing gum on the street and public spanking included aswell.
This can give rise to a discussion about how diplomatic and communist governments. If there was any research to be done on these topics I would prefer to do it on, diplomatic and communist governments how are they similar or different, how do they serve the public and how the justice system works. The only unusual word I came across was Junta which meant military coalition. In other language such as Hindi the same words actually means government.
