I decided to write this term paper because I was curious about what a geisha actually was. I know most 'westerners ' think them to be prostitutes, but to me that didn 't seem to be the whole story. While they did strive to be kept women ', they were also very skilled and cultured, who for the most part entertained men with dance, music, witty conversation and seduction of wealthy patrons. The word geisha does not mean prostitute ' but artisan ' or artist '. However, sexual intrigue is part of the job description, and available in some rituals. Studying and understanding the Japanese culture very carefully will help us in deciding whether the geisha ladies r prostitutes or not, since giving a positive answer wouldn 't be easy to handle.
Every human society is based on the family. The family is the smallest and probably the most fundamental social institution in the human community. There are rules that define family membership, lineage and inheritance as well as codes of behavior among the members. In every society the principles and the norms exist, but the reality is reflected only partially. Historically, the family was the most encompassing agency of social welfare to individual members of the group. Health care, protection (from the hostile external environment), education and training for survival, amusement and entertainment, production and consumption had been the functions performed by the family
