Chapter 5, Society: Chinese Imperial Examination System

hi all,

Here's a video on the Chinese Imperial Examination System.

It's a bit confusing to watch the first time round due to the overlapping translation in English, but it does help visualise what it must have been like to take the examinations back then.

Chapter 5, Society - The Caste System

Here's a video on the Caste System.

This video is useful to show the attitudes of some segments of modern Indian society to the caste system but should not be taken as an overall portrayal of attitudes of modern Indian society to the caste system. The caste system has since been outlawed although it's effects are still felt, particularly in rural areas.

This video is also useful to show some of the problems confronting members of the lower castes.



What are your thoughts on the caste system? Please post them as a comment, and do remember to state your name and class as well.
