The novels Shanghai Girls and The Girl Who Played Go, by Lisa See and Shan Sa respectively, each demonstrate different reasons for death. In these two novels, death takes place as an assertion of dominance, as a natural occurrence and as an escape to difficult situations.…

    • 629 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The samurai were highly skilled Japanese warriors from the middle ages. During this time, warring clans controlled most of the country. Therefore, Lords would hire Samurai to defend and fight for land. As a result, the samurai population skyrocketed. In fact, They were so important to society that they became their own social class. The meaning of the word samurai is very fitting. The word samurai comes from a Japanese word Saburau, meaning “to serve.” Although the samurai were called this, according to PBS’ article on the History of the Samurai,”(The word) was first used in A.D 702 to describe mid-to-low ranking administrators.” Their title was mostly metaphorical, referring to their devotion to their leader.…

    Leung is later caught posting promotional posters for the school by some Hung Gar students. One of them challenges Leung to a fight and loses, but his friends take Leung hostage in revenge and demand a ransom from Ip. Ip goes to the local wet market as directed, but the meeting ends in a confrontation with a growing mob of Hung Ga students. Ip and Leung fight their way outside to meet Jin Shanzhao — the martial artist and former bandit in the first film — who comes to their rescue with his own gang. The students' master, Hung Chun-nam, arrives to break up the fight. Ip introduces himself, and Hung informs him that before setting up a school, he needs to attend a special fighting ceremony to test his skill.

    Sociology of Death

    • 9 Pages

    “It is possible to provide security against other ills, but as far as death is concerned, we men live in a city without walls.” There is no controlling it; death will come when it will. A wise statement by Epicurus but nonetheless, not entirely true in the present climate. Western civilization is unceasing in its desire to master that which nature has designed to be unconquerable, as evidenced by the rapid advancements that technology and medicine have made. If one values human life, after all, it is imperative to do all that one can to preserve it. For others, however, it is nonsensical to stretch the limits of the Homo sapiens species further than is possible through artificial means. How is it that two human societies can have such different views of the same concept? Interpretations of death vary greatly in societies all around the world. The variations in how societies view and treat death can be linked to the influences of technology, religion and the media as agents of socialization.…

    Death is final. Some die naturally in a peaceful manner while others suffer through tremendous pain in order to get there. Euthanasia is the only way for some people to leave all their pain behind. Euthanasia is the act of killing another person in a merciful way. Of course, euthanasia has many more meaning to it than that. A person that is suffering from a terminal illness decides that life is not worth living because there is too much pain involved and ends his own life, would that be wrong of him?

    Death and Grieving

    • 497 Words
    • 2 Pages

    There is an old saying that states “The day we are born is the same we start to die”. This statement bothered me for quite a while because no one wants to think about dying. Leaving this earth at an allotted time is inevitable. The passing of loved ones is never easy to deal with. Death, to many, conveys a fairly constant string of emotions. There is disbelief, anger, and the most devastating sorrow from the loss. Many times death could seem to be a sad and lonely path for the ones left behind. Each family confronts death and funerals in a different manner. Some families follow long held traditions, while others seem to have no such precedent to serve as a guide. With that said, the faster people realize death will come, the better prepared they will be. At first consideration, I thought that I would not be able to write this paper because of the emotional baggage I would have to tap into to provide the content. Over the past few years I have lost many people close to me. What I have learned from all the deaths I have endured is have money set aside for the funeral, embrace the grief, and have a predetermined plan.…
