What are some modern day protest movements in 2021? Explain at least one of them using complete sentences.​
N76 [4]

An important modern-day protest movement in 2021 is the new uprising in support of Black Lives Matter. This movement was founded nearly a decade ago but only in 2020 with the murder of George Floyd did the movement really pick up speed. Protests erupted throughout the country and more awareness was brought to this social injustice. Now, with many supporters, laws are being passed to help lower the amount of police brutality cases, and help African Americans feel more safe in the United States.

What inference can you make about Japanese attitudes toward Korean culture in the late 1500s?
mariarad [96]

We can infer that Japanese wanted to learn and absorb korean technologies to develop art, infrastructure and transmission of knowledge.

Japanese leader Toyotomi Hideyoshi invaded Korea between 1592 and 1598, the invasion resulted in Japan losing the war, but Hideyoshi and his generals took advantage during this period because it was the opportunity to kidnap skilled Korean craftsmen and take them back to Japan.

Japan gained cultural benefits from the spoils of war, also due to the contact with Ming China.

Korea had a refined technology of moveable type printing, during the late-sixteenth century, Japan benefited from this.

Before 1590, there was a monastic monopoly on printing in Japan.

Japanese invasion of Korea is sometimes referred to as the "Teabowl War" or the "Pottery War", because japanese soldiers made great efforts to find skilled Korean potters and transfer them to Japan once quality ceramic pottery was prized in Japan, particularly the Korean teabowls used in the Japanese tea ceremony.

Korea also made  important contributions to tiling Japanese houses and castles, among the skilled craftsmen removed from Korea by Japanese forces were roof tilers . The  Nagoya Castle was constructed using Korean stonework techniques.
