Asia current event
A fisherman, Hung Shih-Cheng, was shot by the Philippians coast guard last week in waters that both sides claim is theirs. These two sides are Taiwan and the Philippines The Philippians president apologized to the Taiwanese. However, the Taiwanese say that the apology was unacceptable because it lacked sincerity. This has caused Taiwanese and the Philippians to fight.
Even though the fight between Taiwan and the Philippines is not very bad it still reminded me of the conflict between the Israelites and the Palestinians. The relationship between these two groups of people was always very tense causing them to never have peace.

The greatest work produced during the Heian era was "The Tale of Genji". It was written by Murasaki Shikibu, who was a woman. This book is famous because it is considered the worlds first novel. In the English translation, it has 54 chapters and over 1,000 pages. There have been many paintings made regarding this novel.
To further my research on this primary source I think it would be cool to look at some of the paintings that were made based off of this novel. I would use this primary source so that I could have a better understanding of Japanese cultures and teachings from the time period of when the book was written.
