    I read the news and I always knew that there were problems in this area of China but it was not till I took an anthropology class that I actually understood why there was more tension between provinces and there government in this particular situation than any other country has shown in a long time. I watched this movie on sky burials and was in complete aw at what they were doing. I am not religious in any capacity of the word so I feel no strong tendencies to say that there actions are anymore disconcerting than any other religion.
 

  A sky burial sticks to its name quite accurately. After someone dies there body is carried by family to a temple where monks and family help guild the spirit of the dead toward a new life. After all of this is done the body is no longer anything but a vessel for the soul and can be disposed of. The reason however that the bodies of the dead are cut up is so that if by chance any remnants of the spirit remans in the body it is released into the world. The body is only a case for the soul and is no longer important after death. Many religions have a problem with this idea of cutting up there dead. I don’t see it as any different then any other religion in that they are just following there beliefs. But why would a government become involved in the decision as to whether or not this is an acceptable behavior?  
    Controlling a concord territory for a long period of time is difficult bringing even similar cultures under one government can be a challenge. Tibetan culture is supremely centered around their main religion, and because of this it is one of the strongest ways for the Chines government to keep a hold on most of the population. This is a fine line the government walks, they can’t agitate the people to much causing a retaliation but at the same time they can’t let them become a separate nation. 
China does not want to let go of Tibet for a multitude of reasons. They can’t let their country just fall apart because the outer regions of China are not as patriotic as the central China happens to be.  Though China is mainly Buddhist
