Question

In 1989, millions of Chinese stood up to their government in the Tiananmen Square protests. These protests, unfortunately, resulted in martial law and possibly the deaths of numerous Chinese citizens. What would an anthropologist suggest about what the Tiananmen Square protestors were doing

Answer 1

exercising their agency

Step-by-step explanation:

In anthropology, exercising agency is a term that refers to the claim of individuals for rights related to their own freedom, will, autonomy and determination. In that case, when a group of citizens, the Chinensis in the case, meet in protests against violations of the government in relation to their freedoms and rights, we can say that they are exercising their agency.
