Imagine that, after taking this class, you travel back in time and find yourself at a Chinese emperor’s court. The emperor seeks your advice on running
his government and bringing order to society. Drawing upon everything we have covered from this semester, how would you advise him? What kind of
society should he (or she!) aim to create? Based on historical evidence, what sort of issues should an emperor watch out for? Your answer may be
based on ideology, history, culture, or any of the above—use your imagination.
