Easiest Bushido-Like Standards

Decent Essays
The easiest bushido-like standards to live up to for me would be loyalty to my master because I think loyalty is one of the easier things to follow. One of the big reasons that this standard would be easy to follow is that I respect those who are skilled, old, or have a higher position of power than me. I can also show devotion to my master because of how he affected my life, such as in training me how to fight as a samurai, or teaching me how to read and write and be productive at life. Loyalty is also essential in keeping a relationship such as samurai to master going because without that relationship there would be no order and it would be complete chaos, I wouldn’t want to feed into that, after all we are not fighting each other we are

    Fulfill or exceed our legal and ethical responsibilities in our public and personal lives. We were trained to have integrity (to do the right thing when no one is looking), and even when someone is looking we have the respect training knowledge and courtesy to do the right thing all the time. People are always looking at us even when you do not see them or think that they are watching.
