I think I know what anthopology and history are but sociology less sure...

This looks interesting...

Canem Malum,

History = the study of the past

Anthropology = the study of humankind

Sociology = the study of society

Put them together and one has a powerful tool for working out why things happen and for predicting what might happen.

Dear Canem Malum,

The Chinese situation is for us a test, not a ground to despair.

Most important, WE ARE NOT ALONE!

We have so many other countries on our side,
but most importantly, we have God on our side.
This must be the time to unite and call on them all.

The monster Xi considers himself to be God and decreed in effect that no other God shall be worshiped in China.
This is hardly the first time it happened, not even in China: here is an incomplete list http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_who_have_been_considered_deities (only some of those persecuted the worshipers of God or other gods).

In India, about 5300 years ago, lived the tyrant Kamsa who declared himself God and ruthlessly oppressed anyone who did not worship him, including the sages. He even imprisoned his own father whose kingdom he usurped.
As Kamsa was aided by powerful and magical daemons, the situation looked so bleak and hopeless, no man could stand to him.
But then God Himself incarnated and was born as Kamsa's sister, Devaki's son. Kamsa smashed the heads of her first 6 babies as they were born, but the next two babies miraculously escaped - the 8th was Shri Krishna. Even as a baby, Krishna killed the daemons sent by Kamsa, then as a youth he wrestled and killed his uncle Kamsa himself.

Fear not, our body will die anyway one day, but Shri Krishna tells us (Bhagavad-Gita 2:20):

"The soul is neither born, nor does it ever die; nor having once existed, does it ever cease to be. The soul is without birth, eternal, immortal, and ageless. It is not destroyed when the body is destroyed."

Then in verses 37-38:

"If you fight, you will either be slain on the battlefield and go to the celestial abodes, or you will gain victory and enjoy the kingdom on earth. Therefore arise with determination, O son of Kunti, and be prepared to fight. Fight for the sake of duty, treating alike happiness and distress, loss and gain, victory and defeat. Fulfilling your responsibility in this way, you will never incur sin."

Mr Opinion said- Having Arts degrees in each of history, sociology and anthropology means that I have been trained as a critical thinker who can work out why things happen in the world of people.

Answer- I don't think everyone who studies The Arts in contemporary times is a critical thinker- but I believe you are.

Mr Opinion,
So, why not study for a solution why people keep making the same mistakes ?

individual,

Churchill spent years during the 1930s warning everyone about Hitler and no one listened.

Mr Opinion is spending years warning everyone about the Chinese and no one is listening.

What's important to me is that I get to say 'I TOLD YOU SO."
