The norms of death: Capital punishment in China
The death penalty is employed for a wide variety of crimes in China, and the country today executes more people than the rest of the world combined. Public opinion surveys from the 1990s showed near total support for its use. Some claim such opinions are deeply rooted in 'Chinese culture'.

The extreme challenges of life in the polar regions require the animals who make their habitat there to make many adaptations. This unit explores the polar climate and how animals like reindeer, polar bears, penguins, sea life and even humans manage to survive there. It looks at the adaptations to physiological proceses, the environmental effects on diet, activity and fecundity, and contrasts the strategies of aquatic and land-based animals in surviving in this extreme habitat. This unit builds
7 Matching form and purpose Now let us look at war memorials themselves. We have already agreed that their form takes a shape that we think appropriate.
