Compare And Contrast Japan And The King Of England
I'd rather be the king of England than the emperor of Japan because even though the feudal England and Japan hierarchy of social class is placed first on the pyramid, the King of England has full control of the critziens of Japan. The King of England also owned most of the land and the domesday book was a book for the great survey and the track of who owned land in England by the order of also one of King William. Also The King of England's daily life was simple and relaxing. The King of England was the head of Britain in medieval times, in charge of taxes. The emperor of Japan was a spiritual and Symbolic head of the country.

    King Frederick the Great of Prussia displayed similarities throughout his rule to the Russian King, Peter with his military tactics and taxation. During his reign, King Frederick established a great standing army and financed his army by imposing permanent taxation (Wallbank). A strong army was needed to protect the Prussian land and King Frederick built the best standing army in Europe, consisting of 80,000 men. In order to fund his military, Frederick continued permanent taxation on his people. Similarly, King Peter modernized his army of 200,000 men and levied heavy taxes to support his large army (Wallbank). Under his rule, Peter I made the position of a soldier a lifetime job, contributing to his substantial army. As a result to constructing an immense military, Peter enforced an onerous tax on the people. Likewise, both rulers developed large militia and instituted taxes to asset their armies.…

    Hammurabi’s Code and Ben Zhao’s Instruction manual for Women, both establish similar gender norms about the female sex. One example of a gender norm established by the two is the emphasis of a women’s protection of her purity before marriage. For example Hammurabi’s code states “Again, there must be no marriage with a prostitute, since by reason of the abuse of her body. God could not accept her nuptial sacrifices.”(pg. 16). The code says that a women’s virginity is sacred and a gift given to God and her husband at marriage, it is her virtue and without it she has nothing of value. There is also a similar opinion given in Ben Zhao’s instructions that says “To guard carefully her chastity; to control circumspectly her behavior; in every motion to exhibit modesty; and to model each act on the best usage, this is womanly virtue” (Ben Zhao). He is essentially saying the same thing, a women’s chastity is what makes her respectable and gives her validity. However, while Both Hammurabi’s Code and Ben Zhao’s manual share similar gender norms, they also establish gender norms that are the opposite of each other, such as the behavior and role of women in society. For example Ben Zhao says “Let a woman modestly yield to others; 1et her respect others; let her put others first, herself last. Should she do something good, let her not mention it; should she do something bad let her not deny it. Let her bear disgrace; let her even endure when others speak or do evil to her.”(Ben Zhao). Ben Zhao believes that a women’s role is to please others, never themselves, to do good and receive nothing, but be punished and humiliated for wrong doing. However King Hammurabi thinks the opposite “If a women quarrel with her husband… the reasons for her prejudice must be presented. If she is guiltless… but he leaves and neglects her, then no guilt is attached to this women; she shall take her dowry and return to her father’s house” (pg.…

    The country of Japan was originally a region that was isolated from the rest of the world. Laws set in place by the Japanese government served the purpose of separating Japan from the other countries of the world. The act of trading with foreign countries was strictly forbidden, and traveling abroad was a crime that was punishable by death. This isolation from the rest of the world would prove to be an issue for Japan. With their inferior technology, they fell victim to the imperialism of the western powers, just as their Chinese counterparts did. The Japanese were subject to unfair treaties that favoured the western powers, which was humiliating for the Japanese people. Japan realized that something was going to have to change if they were…

    Japanese Colonialism

    It is interesting to find that only some political economists emphasize the fact that Japanese colonialism in Korea played a large part in the development of a high-growth economy. In both readings we get to see that Japanese colonialism greatly differed from European colonialism. In one way, this is because European colonialism rarely introduced heavy industry into the economy, or even pushed the economy with such a heavy hand. As well, Japan left Korea with a relatively high level of industrialization, not something we commonly see with European colonialism.…
