The authorities have changed the history so it can brainwash students’ minds so they only think what the authorities want them to. It makes them loyal to their nation, as they only think their nation did things for the good. Although, it can be looked as a lie because the nation is not being lotal to the people in it.

It happens because people don’t want to tan their skins and they think when they can’t “see” the sun, their skin won’t,neither!

Because when i study Chinese history, I can feel how strongly it brainwashes students’ minds. Do you think it can let people be loyal to their nations?

It is like judging an art work, who can really know its value?

You wrote, “Personally i believe that our body doesn’t define us but instead it is our mind, and our body is basically just a outer shell that we control. I could go more deeply into this topic but i don’t think it is necessary.” Ah, but I think it is! What exactly do you mean by “mind”, as opposed to “brain”? If my mind is not my brain, then what is it? And where is it?
