There are similarities between the two governments but the structure of the Constitution is better than its predecessor the Articles of Confederation.

“Feudalism” as a term has been controversial since its conception. Its origin is the German “feudalismus,” and was first used in the English language in its current meaning in the 17th and 18th centuries. There is difficulty defining this term because of its inherently large scope; a feudal system is one in which there may be a social, economic, or political system of seigniorial landownership and general dues of the peasantry. This naturally describes many societies throughout history, and so, many historians would argue that to effectively narrow the subject and thus reasonably study the idea of a feudal structure, one must focus on specific criteria. Barendse would agree with this sentiment, as he states in his article, “The Feudal Mutation,”…
They both had prior experience of imitation. Japan had copied from China and Russia from Byzantium and the Mongols. They knew that learning from the West could be profitable and wouldn’t destroy their native cultures. In Japan, the Emperor Meiji sent out samurai to parts of the West to pick up ideas.

During World War II, both the Japanese-American internees and the American POWs in Japan were feeling “invisible” and were also trying to “resist being invisible”. During the World War II, or the effects of-of it, Louie and Miné and some of their other friends and family were captured by the Japanese and were sent to one of there camps.

After the surrenders of Italy and Germany during of World War II, Japan was the only Axis country left in the war.

On December 7, 1941, “a date which will live in infamy- the United States was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan” . The bombing of Pearl Harbor launched America full-scale into WWII, and created a developing distrust among non-Japanese Americans, described as “waves of anti-Japanese sentiment swept the nation” . The main reason for distrust is from fear that Japanese citizens will turn on the United States and aid their country of origin, our enemy Japan. Lt. General John DeWitt says, “A Jap is a Jap! There is no way to determine their loyalty… They all look the same” .…

A few episodes in, I stumbled upon an anime called Shugo Chara on the recommendation column and clicked on it. It immediately drew me in because of the animation and over time, the plot and the morals in the anime made me an official anime fan.…
The Creation of a Nation The Japan of today is often seen as a cohesive, homogenous nation with a strong sense of national pride and identity. However, this was not always the case; the image of Japan as a nation, as a group of people with a common identity, did not exist in the pre-Tokugawa period. Instead, it was through the centralizing forces of the Meiji Revolution, on both political and social levels, that ultimately resulted in the creation of Japan, the nation state. The political structure of Japan in the Tokugawa era was a feudal one—though there was a central capital where the Emperor and the shogun resided, the primary form of government with which the citizens interacted was their immediate domain, ruled over by a landowning daimyō.…

Another issue of Japanese education, especially when compared to western countries, would lie in the effects of Japan’s homogenous characteristic of its citizens. While this unique national trait helps bring the country and its inhabitants together as a whole, in schools this tends to take away from individuality, especially when it comes to students that were born differently from the standard Japanese. In an article in The Japan Times, the most popular English-language newspaper in Japan, O’donoghue (2015) says that although differential treatment is not incited in Japan, “by emphasizing sameness they [the teachers] could be instilling conformity and intolerance of difference.” Each student’s uniqueness seems to be taken away due to this…
