The Feudal honor codes of the Bushido and Chivalry represent values of their respective societies because__________
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Though some scholars have criticized Nitobe’s work as romanticized yearning for a non-existent age of chivalry, there’s no question that his work builds on extraordinary thousand-year-old precepts of manhood that originated in chivalrous behavior on the part of some, though certainly not all, samurai. What today’s readers may find most enlightening about Bushido is the emphasis on compassion, benevolence, and the other non-martial qualities of true manliness. Here are Bushido’s Eight Virtues as explicated by Nitobe:

I. Rectitude or Justice

Bushido refers not only to martial rectitude, but to personal rectitude: Rectitude or Justice, is the strongest virtue of Bushido. A well-known samurai defines it this way: ‘Rectitude is one’s power to decide upon a course of conduct in accordance with reason, without wavering; to die when to die is right, to strike when to strike is right.’ Another speaks of it in the following terms: ‘Rectitude is the bone that gives firmness and stature. Without bones the head cannot rest on top of the spine, nor hands move nor feet stand. So without Rectitude neither talent nor learning can make the human frame into a samurai.’

II. Courage

Bushido distinguishes between bravery and courage: Courage is worthy of being counted among virtues only if it’s exercised in the cause of Righteousness and Rectitude. In his Analects, Confucius says: ‘Perceiving what is right and doing it not reveals a lack of Courage.’ In short, ‘Courage is doing what is right.’

III. Benevolence or Mercy

A man invested with the power to command and the power to kill was expected to demonstrate equally extraordinary powers of benevolence and mercy: Love, magnanimity, affection for others, sympathy and pity, are traits of Benevolence, the highest attribute of the human soul. Both Confucius and Mencius often said the highest requirement of a ruler of men is Benevolence.

IV. Politeness

Discerning the difference between obsequiousness and politeness can be difficult for casual visitors to Japan, but for a true man, courtesy is rooted in benevolence: Courtesy and good manners have been noticed by every foreign tourist as distinctive Japanese traits. But Politeness should be the expression of a benevolent regard for the feelings of others; it’s a poor virtue if it’s motivated only by a fear of offending good taste. In its highest form Politeness approaches love.

V. Honesty and Sincerity

True samurai, according to author Nitobe, disdained money, believing that “men must grudge money, for riches hinder wisdom.” Thus children of high-ranking samurai were raised to believe that talking about money showed poor taste, and that ignorance of the value of different coins showed good breeding: Bushido encouraged thrift, not for economical reasons so much as for the exercise of abstinence. Luxury was thought the greatest menace to manhood, and severe simplicity was required of the warrior class … the counting machine and abacus were abhorred.

VI. Honor

Though Bushido deals with the profession of soldiering, it is equally concerned with non-martial behavior: The sense of Honor, a vivid consciousness of personal dignity and worth, characterized the samurai. He was born and bred to value the duties and privileges of his profession. Fear of disgrace hung like a sword over the head of every samurai … To take offense at slight provocation was ridiculed as ‘short-tempered.’ As the popular adage put it: ‘True patience means bearing the unbearable.’

VII. Loyalty

Economic reality has dealt a blow to organizational loyalty around the world. Nonetheless, true men remain loyal to those to whom they are indebted: Loyalty to a superior was the most distinctive virtue of the feudal era. Personal fidelity exists among all sorts of men: a gang of pickpockets swears allegiance to its leader. But only in the code of chivalrous Honor does Loyalty assume paramount importance.

VIII. Character and Self-Control

Bushido teaches that men should behave according to an absolute moral standard, one that transcends logic. What’s right is right, and what’s wrong is wrong. The difference between good and bad and between right and wrong are givens, not arguments subject to discussion or justification, and a man should know the difference. Finally, it is a man’s obligation to teach his children moral standards through the model of his own behavior: The first objective of samurai education was to build up Character.

The subtler faculties of prudence, intelligence, and dialectics were less important. Intellectual superiority was esteemed, but a samurai was essentially a man of action. No historian would argue that Hideyoshi personified the Eight Virtues of Bushido throughout his life. Like many great men, deep faults paralleled his towering gifts. Yet by choosing compassion over confrontation, and benevolence over belligerence, he demonstrated ageless qualities of manliness. Today his lessons could not be more timely.

The Declaration of Independence provides a reason to revolt against Britain based on a promise that a new government will be abl
Olenka [21]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The Declaration of Independence provides a reason to revolt against Britain based on a promise that a new government will be able to secure the natural rights of its citizens. The government of the United States has done this to the extent that it has protected the American people since then in many different wars against Britain in the War of 1812, or the Mexican-American War, or the Spanish-American War.

During the 1900s, the United States government tried to maintain the foreign policy of neutrality in World War I and World War II, but different events and incidents forced President Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt, respectively, to enter the international conflict in order to defend America from the threat of Germany.

The only questions left unanswered are regarding domestic politics such as racism, inequity, civil rights for minorities.

How did the domestication of plants and animals affect agrarian societies? Write your answer in a paragraph of at least 125 word
oksano4ka [1.4K]

This will make you pass!

Answer:1 They could rest assured that their food supply was more stable and constant if they planted consistently. To do this they learned to observe the stars and seasons to be ready for planting and harvesting. They fought over and secured land that was arable and then protected it with military might to protect their food supply. To that end.....

2 the early farmers became specialized in their labor and became potters, tanners, government leaders, accountants (well, they could count anyway!) and the myriad of other jobs that a modern community needed to survive. They took time to learn their tasks (education) and practiced those in communities governed by those whom they empowered. By the time you get to ancient Egypt, the range of jobs was pretty diverse for this largest and most successful agrarian society.

3 Early farmers also began to think seriously about continuity and a lasting society, so they worked hard on laws and taught their children respect for their society. Then they thought about the need for more land and growing the size of their kingdoms to ensure its permanence.
