    Musui's Story

    The time after the fifteen hundreds marked a time of great change in Asian countries. Places like China saw a new dynasty take control of the country. And almost every Asian civilization from India to Indonesia came in contact with people from western nations which changed the way people did business and the way Asians viewed the world. Japan, however, seemed to keep separate from the rest of Asia in the way that they were hesitant to deal with westerners. Despite their separateness, this period in time still brought an immense amount of change to Japan and its culture. The autobiography titled Musui's Story shows what life was like during Japan's time of change. When taking Musui's Story in context, one can see not only the change and decay of the samurai way of life but also the change that all of Japan saw during this era.…

    Musui's Story

    • 1634 Words
    • 7 Pages

    The varying social interactions between status groups in Katsu Kokichi’s autobiography, Musui’s Story, convey a shift from the hierarchically strict Heian/Kamakura epochs to the more socially open late Tokugawa period. Throughout the work, Katsu illustrates his various dealings and communications with peasants, merchants, artisans and fellow samurai. While in theory a social hierarchy still presided, Musui’s Story dismisses the notion that social groups remained isolated from each other, as in previous Japanese eras, and instead reveals that people of Japan in the late-Tokugawa-era mingled with one another during their lives, regardless of their social status. Considering the demise of the aristocracy that inhibited so much of Heian Japan, the late Tokugawa era fostered the idea that no matter your status or class it remained possible to interact with anyone outside the imperial family. Musui’s Story served as an indicator of transition from status groups that people attain through birth, to class groups that anyone can achieve no matter their ranking upon birth. While better-positioned social groups in society still garnered additional respect, it did not mean that their position in society remained fixed and could not move up or down the social hierarchy due to their actions. Katsu’s work personifies a prime source for understanding that while status group ideals still endured, a clear rift continued forming between the ideals and the reality of Japan at the time when it came to social interactions.…

    If you take a look at America’s history, you will see that the deadliest war was the Civil War. Spanning over 4 years and 600,000 deaths, you may think that what was fought over was silly and that they could’ve simply prevented the war. The supposed “silly” thing that was fought over was slavery. Sure, maybe it could’ve been prevented if slavery wasn’t a big part of America, but it certainly was not preventable when it was an economic, political, and social issue. When slavery is the backbone for half of the country's economy and the villain for the other half, there really isn’t a solution to it.…

    Poverty is the second obstacles from reaching the American Dream. I believe this because money defines the person you've become, you’re either Poor, Wealthy or of course Rich. Everyone dreams of their perfect lives and dream house just like how in “The House on Mango Street” (Pg. 4) “The house would have running water and pipes that worked. And inside would have real stairs and a basement and the house would be white without a fence.” Instead they got a “A small and red with tight steps in front and the windows were so small that you could barely breath, the bricks were crumbling and a small yard.” (Pg. 4) This isn't the house “ Papa talked about when he held the lottery ticket.” (Pg. 4) In this generation, everyone struggles with something…

    “Man has always moved along a road. It’s just what the road has looked like that’s changed over time” (Dan McNichol). Some would say that the legacy of the Roman Empire is viewed as the foundation of civilization, having influenced every aspect of modern society, from literature to mathematics. Even today, Roman law and foundation of government forms the basis of several modern democracies. The ancient Empire`s monuments still stand millennia later, awing and inspiring us. Rome 's extraordinary achievements and the unparalleled string of influential people shaped the whole of Europe and even the rest of the world. Philosophers blame the success of the Empire on many different factors, however, arguably the greatest advantage that the Romans had was, in fact, their roads. Also known as Viae, Roman soldiers created comprehensive stone roads that connected the whole continent. These vast highways spanned over 53,000 miles, and stretched all across Europe. The Roman Roads were the empire`s greatest achievements due to their benefits to the military, impact on the economy and trade, and the significant impact it had on the rise of Christianity and the transformation of European civilization.…

    Life has lots of emotions: happiness, sorrow, guilt, frustration, love, and so on. Love is the one emotion which brings in huge changes in our lives and a different kind of emotion begins with it. How can we describe it? Describing love is very hard because in every phase of life, characterization of love can be varied. In childhood, through romantic films and stories, we started to get feeling that love is passionate and when people will be going through it, life would be full of happiness. In adulthood, people’s perception about love might change. Those who are fantasizing about love realized that it is not only about physical attraction but also about relationship, responsibilities and companionship. When ages grow, some people become optimistic about love, some become pessimistic and some of them are on a way to rediscover love. Definition of love can be changed not only with one’s maturity level but also with his/her cultural values. In Raymond Carver story – ‘What We Talk About When We Talk About Love’ – the main protagonists Mel and Terri, and Jhumpa Lahiri’s creation – ‘Going Ashore’ – soon to be married couple, Hema and Navin, had enough knowledge about love but they could not still fully realize it. So, they are on their ways to discover the essence of love.…
