From the micro perspective, Gatsby has four times of disillusionment altogether. The first one was from his birth to his leaving home, the second disillusionment came after his under Dan Cody's patron for several years, ended by Cody's sudden death leaving Gatsby no money actually inherited. His third disillusionment was the frustration of his love for Daisy as Daisy married to Tom Buchanan. Finally, his fourth disillusion brought him away altogether with his death, after the car accident committed by Daisy and Gatsby was mistakenly regarded as the murderer. In a macro perspective,Gatsby's death in the novel symbolizes the disillusionment of American Dream in the Jazz Age.展开更多

Overseas Indians are highly valued by the Indian government due to their vast resources and special status as a bridge between their residence countries and India. After the end of the Cold War, the Indian government began to consider overseas Indians as an important factor of its human resources and satisfied several demands by establishing relevant institutions, formulating relevant policies, and revising relevant laws. In this manner, they achieved the objective of leveraging overseas Indians. This strategic adjustment is an important part of the new overall development strategy and external strategy, which can be described as key to India's development breakthrough and rapid emergence. However, the current Indian Diaspora is relatively negative for the following reasons: utilitarian Indian Diaspora strategy, the lack of a clear understanding of the home country or nationality, the rotation of Indian political parties, and the lack of sustainability of the Indian Diaspora strategy.展开更多
