The erosion of social hierarchy causing a dawn of class issue and inequality amongst different classes of society has played a huge role in Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard.

Just as one would want their doctor or lawyer to be well-educated in their field of study, a prince—and therefore, a king—should be well-educated, too. After all, a king must know how to successfully and justly rule a kingdom and its people. Even though today we have medical and law schools, there were no schools that taught how to be a good king.

As Claus von Clausewitz wrote, “Courage, over all things, is the first quality of a warrior”. In both Western Europe and Japan, an unstable government led to the development of Feudalism, a social system in which lords grant land to nobles in exchange of loyalty and military service. It also introduced a stronger army which was made up of samurai, the Japanese warrior, or knights, the European warrior. The chivalry, or code of conduct of the knights, was made up of Christian beliefs. However, the
