When this…

Decadence has been defined as a decline in cultural values and morality by doing things that are against the acceptable cultural and moral values of the Japanese people. Based on Sakaguchi Ango’s essay it can be scrutinized that after the World War II there a decline in Japanese cultural values that put them together. During the war times, the article indicates that writers were not allowed to portray the image of women who had lost their husband during the war. The aim of forbidding writers to…

down planes. The tank has also evolved since the WWI. In WWI, the tank is used sparsely because slow and could not move well across trenches. Tanks are now a huge part of the battle. In the Pacific, the Japanese have found a new use of planes as Kamikazes. The Japanese pilots purposely fly their planes into ships in an attempt to cause as much damage as possible. WWII submarines are also more advanced. They can go deeper, farther, and have more weapons than WWI…

after the US landed a man on the moon, but it did lose a lot of interest. NASA put it’s first probe on the moon in 1962, named the Ranger 1. This was a huge step for the US and the next step for landing a man on the moon. The Ranger missions were kamikaze missions; they were to go to the moon, and crash. But their overall goal was to find future landing sites. The Soviets were the first country to overcome the moon’s harsh terrain and hurdles with the smooth landing of Luna 9. The Soviets struck…

ideology created by the emperor of self-sacrifice. The ideology expressed that if the emperor calls for citizens to give their lives up in war, then they are to respect that and follow his orders. These suicide bombers eventually received the name of kamikaze, which, when translated, means, “divine wind” (“The World at War,” par. 12). When this principle was applied to war, it caused most of the young men of the country to go and fight for their country and their emperor on a moment’s…

Propaganda is defined as, “ideas, facts, or allegations spread deliberately to further one 's cause or to damage an opposing cause” (Webster Dictionary).

Bushido, or the “way of the warrior,” calls forth the ghosts of Japan’s hallowed samurai class. A class so determined to preserve honor, they would rather stab their own stomachs in ritualistic suicide than live a shamed existence. Bushido is a code of conduct for the samurai of premodern Japan. The word samurai originally meant “one who serves” and referred to men of noble birth assigned to guard members of the Imperial Court. A strong virtue of Bushido was a strict hierarchy that emphasized…

I have chosen the Japanese for my racial group analysis. I chose them for the sole reason that they are the fewest Asian group in number here in the U.S. The history of Japanese immigrants is not so different from other immigrants such as the Chinese. There are some well known stereotypes and racial slurs about the Japanese that are, in fact, quite absurd. While there aren’t many Japanese Americans, compared to other Asian groups, they still have a large impact in our society. Japan…

Throughout human history, people have dreamed of flying. Leonardo Da Vinci drew images of flying contraptions, the Montgolfier brothers invented the hot air balloon, and George Cayley invented the first glider. But, humanity had yet to achieve man-controlled flight until 1903. Two brothers, who developed their mechanical passions through a bicycle shop, opened up the world to a new realm of airborne possibilities. The Wright brothers were the first to make the dream of flight a reality. The…
