Japan first started out as an isolated nation, but soon it would become one of the most powerful countries during WWII. But before Japan was a powerful Nation, it needed to modernize. According to document 1, Japan was isolated from 1635-1853.1853 to 1854.This was when US Commodore Perry visited Japan and forced them to open their ports(document 1, N.d, timeline. As a result of this, the Japanese create the Meiji Restoration. According to document 5, the emperor is given the power to command the Army and the Navy end to rule over Japan, but the citizens too have a house of representatives( Alfred Stead,1904, Doc 5).

“How JROTC has prepared me to be a better citizen of the United states of America”. JROTC has prepared me to become a better citizen by teaching me how to use leadership skills and be able to cope with subordinates. It also has prepared me to be a better citizen by showing me what the 7 army values are and what they mean. Some of the army values are respect, honor, integrity, and personal courage. JROTC has showed me how to do things different from the way I thought things should be done and how to march and be able to keep a company and platoon together when marching. Since I know a lot about the JROTC I am able to help other people become better citizens like I was taught. I am also a better citizen because i have the discipline not to do certain things that I did before I took the JROTC class.

The NAMI presentation that took place on February 2, 2017 had a really intriguing effect on me. NAMI stands for “National Alliance on Mental Illness”. NAMI provides the In Our Own Voice presentations, which are offered with the goal “to change attitudes, preconceived notions and stereotypes” about mental illness (NAMI North Carolina: North Carolina’s Voice on Mental Illness, n.d.). I am one to hold a stigma against those with mental disorders. The New Oxford American Dictionary says that, stigma is “a mark of disgrace associated with a particular circumstance, quality, or person” (Stevenson & Lindberg, 2011). Even after the presentation, I still do to some extent. The presentation did open my eyes to the fact that people with certain mental disorders can get the treatment they need to live some-what “normal” lives.

The major periods that shaped Japan’s history and future were the Heian-era of Aristocracy and the Kamakura period of Samurai. The Heian-era and the Kamakura period are interesting because of their differences in social structure, tradition, and culture. In the Heian era, the aristocrat’s social class was sought by many because of their social and cultural status. When the warrior rise in the Kamakura age the social classes change dramatically between aristocrat and warrior. The Heian-era (794-1191) was an age of self development in Japan’s culture and tradition. Before the Heian-era, Japan

The samurai, or bushi (warrior), are well-trained cavalrymen that serve a particular lord. The first recorded history of the samurai was about the 9th century A.D.

Ona and Jurgis Rudkus, two Lithuanian immigrants who have just come to Chicago, are being married. They have veselija, or wedding, that follows the Lithuanian tradition. This celebration takes place in a hall near the Chicago stockyards, which is an area of the city called Packingtown - because it is in the middle of the meat-packing industry. Food, beer, and music are all part of this wedding. Hungry people standing in the doorway are even invited inside to eat. And, the musicians play badly but no one minds. The best part of the celebration is when the guests form a circle where the bride stands in the middle and each guest takes a turn dancing with her. At the wedding, many guests take advantage of the bride and groom by filling themselves

The Japanese culture has been greatly influenced by its religions, and one of the most influential religions has been Shintoism. Shintoism has been dated back to 500BC, when the descendants of the sun goddess, Amaterasu-OmiKami, worshiped the gods and goddesses of Japan. Shinto means "way of the gods" and that represents what people who practice Shintoism believe in. Shintoism is a religion based on Japanese mythology, which is centered on a male god, Izanagi, and a female goddess, Izanami. These two gods were believed to have created Japan, which was thought to be the only land in the whole word. The two gods had two children, the sun goddess Amaterasu, and the storm god, Susanowo. These two gods fought over control of the people of

In today’s society, emotional intelligence is deemed essential to become an effective leader. Individuals who possess a high degree of emotional intelligence (EQ), acquire five common traits: self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills. High school students enrolled in Junior ROTC become leaders by learning how to recognize and regulate individual and interpersonal emotions. The outcome of being part of an organization such as JROTC teaches confidence, commitment, compassion, and communication.

Throughout History, there have been many different groups or events that are still widely known today. Groups of people such as the Indians or Vikings are popular groups which are referenced constantly in today’s society. However, none of these groups is more known or referenced than the Japanese Samurai. Originating in 646 AD, these Japanese warriors developed from a loose organization of farmers to the dominant social class in Feudal Japan. Along with their dominant military and political standing, the samurai brought with them a unique code or moral belief that became the core of Samurai culture. Because of this, the Samurai and their principles still affect modern day Japanese society with social customs today

Japan’s art in cooking manifested during the Yayoi period (200 B.C. – 250 A.D.) when rice was added to the Japanese diet. It is said that Chinese and Korean descent wanderers introduced this crop that will later be known as their signature side around the world. Buddhism influenced Japan and there was a big shift in their daily diet. Around the 7th century Buddhism became the official religion of the country and the eating of meat was prohibited. This new religion declared that they should stop eating meat because it was against a Buddhist precept of taking one’s life. In this time period poor people had poor quality of rice in small portions. These people were impacted the most by the meat and other dietary restrictions.
