    The Heian period, which lasted from 794 to 1185 CE, was undoubtedly the basis of modern Japanese culture.

They were a select family of aristocrats who lived close to the imperial family and essentially held the strings of the emperor like a puppeteer.…

    Throughout the progression of human history, technological advancements have always been made at the expense of altering and harming the environment; so much so that one of the five types of conflict highlighted in literary writing is human vs. nature. One such story that addresses this conflict is Princess Mononoke by Japanese storyteller Hiyao Miyazaki. Although appearing to be a simple animated children’s tale of a boy thrown into a fight between spiritual beings and the human civilization that threatens to encroach upon their territory, Miyazaki delves into an utterly complex commentary on the consequences technological advancements have on its surroundings.

    Japan, china and the USA have been going back and forth with each other for the longest. This has changed the countries socially, politically, and economically, but for now I will explain how Japan Attacking Pearl Harbor, The Lend-Lease Act, and some visual pictures socially affected these countries. Japan’s attacks on Pearl Harbor socially affected Japan because according to an excerpts from The Way of the Subjects from 1941, it states, “ The way of the subjects is to be loyal to the Emperor in disregard of self, thereby supporting the imperial Thorne coexistence with the Heaven and the Earth.” This shows how japanese students are being educated and taught to look up to the emperor.

    The combination of realistic with elements of fantasy blurs the differentiation between reality and magic; reality is all about events that have happened that deal with historical settings, whereas magic deals with fantastic settings. Murakami introduces the idea of magical realism by abstracting realities that do not fit into the beliefs of factualization. Fantasy was a way of escaping the political realities that became something different from anything that has come before it in Japan. The realistic events that occur in the world can cause suffering in humans and how unsatisfied humans feel to sticking through the traditions which questions the logics that comes from the fictional position.…

    The film Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs is a good film to show how the definition of disaster films needs to be altered. The majority of the definition of disaster films can be used to fit all audiences of disaster films. The reason the definition of disaster films needs to be changed is the definition needs to encompass the younger audience of disaster films. Most conventions of disaster films fit well in children’s disaster movies. The narrative shape and the genre’s function are also two aspects of the definition of disaster films that do not need to be changed.…
