Art and architecture: Term paper

Introduction
The history of Chinese and Japanese architecture and design confirms a close connection between these two nations, their common Far-Eastern roots. At the same time, they have deep distinctions. Japanese architecture took a lot from Chinese traditions over centuries - therefore we cannot consider it separately.
In a number of aspects differences between them show that the Chinese architecture and interior design are essentially older than Japanese. Long before AD, Chinese culture and art had achieved an advanced stage of development in planning and constructive solutions.
As for the Japanese, they have been building lightly built houses for a ...

Japanese writing uses both Kanji and Kana. Kana includes both Hiragana and Katakana alphabets. A long time ago, there was no alphabet in Japan, so the characters for writing were borrowed from neighboring China. As ancient China was then ruled by the Han (Kan) Dynasty, all the characters were called Kanji and the Chinese writing is called Kanbun. Because kanji has many strokes, it takes a very long time to write and to memorize. Thus, the Japanese invented the Hiragana and Katakana. Women used the Hiragana alphabet in creating their letters and diaries. An example of the literature written in ...

When it comes to representation through the mise en scene in film, there are a lot of different ways to show the tensions at work between past and present within the horror genre. In fact, it is these tensions that have stood at the core of the horror genre since its very beginning. In the first major work of horror, Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein, it is the tension between the time before the creation of the monster and the time after, when Dr. Frankenstein encounters so many vivid reasons to wish that he had never stitched those body parts ...

In the early traditional ages, Japans cultural set up majorly favored men in the society. In the ancient times, women in japan were generally viewed to be inferior to their male counterparts. “I don’t interfere with my husbands business, not with my mouth, hands or legs.” This statement, made by Kumiko Hashimoto, the wife of former Japanese Prime Minister Ryutario Hasimoto, basically underlines the traditional role of women in Japan. These sentiments clearly show us that a woman’s roles in the house were much defined and that at some point they had to seek for permission from their ...

Abstract

The role of communication in the global economy cannot be overlooked. This is because communication plays a facilitative role in ensuring that parties to a project are able to understand each other despite the differences in culture and traditions. The main challenge perhaps has not been the fact that communicators have different languages. Rather, the challenge has emanated from the individual cultural biases and conceptions. Global communication management planning aims to ensure that communicators are comfortable with each other and in the long run communicate effectively. Some of the necessities for effective communication include listening genuinely and emphatically, having no misconceptions ...

Hitler wondered if the British citizens would continue supporting the War. He argued that the citizens in Britain would come against Churchill while they learnt that the war could not be conducted without gaining losses (Trevor 299). The Japanese were seen by Hitler as a country that would not have the ability to occupy the whole of the East including India and New Zealand. The lack of interest by the Japanese occupation would ensure their support to Germany after the war period. The entry of the Japanese into the war would provide the Germans an advantage of regaining the friendship ...

Total war was the product of modern, industrial society and the tremendous advances in science and technology that were applied to the development of new weapons like the machine gun, the submarine, poison gas, the airplane and the atomic bomb. To be sure, warfare had always been brutal and atrocities were commonplace long before the invention of modern weapons, but in the world wars of the 20th Centuries, all of the industrial, scientific and economic power of advanced societies were applied to warfare, while the distinctions between civilians and soldiers disappeared as cities were carpet bombed out of existence. ...

Analgesics are drugs used to alleviate pain. Pain relief by analgesics occurs because analgesics block the flow of pain signals to the baring or interfere with the interpretation of pain signals in the brain. Analgesics also suppress the pain mechanism in the body. Although analgesics are routinely used in pain management, they are not sufficient in treatment of patients (DETP, nd).
The management of pain needs a careful consideration of all the contributory factors responsible for contributing to the pain circuit or the painful stimulus. For example, neuropathic pain is caused by nerve dysfunction while back injuries are caused ...

Analysis - America Is In The Heart by Carlos Bulosan

Carlos Bulosan's 1946 book America is in the Heart is a hard-hitting, revolutionary and eye-opening work that examines what it meant to be a Filipino in early-to-mid 20th century America. This was a time when racial segregation, particularly of Filipinos, was rampant, and becoming a profitable, hard worker was difficult if your skin was the wrong color. During this time, Bulosan worked in the Philippines, working hard and pawning personal items in order to help Macario, his brother, finish school. Moving from there to America in 1930, he hoped to find work and a new life there; what he found was much uglier. In ...

Introduction

Karate is generally a martial art that was started in Japan at a place called Okinawa. This place was previously called Ryukyu Islands. Some of the fighting skills taught in karate include elbow strikes, punching, knee strikes, and punching.

Last summer I got a chance to join a karate group at a local gym and one thing that I came to learn is that this sport not only involves learning the art of fighting but also trains people to be disciplined. Indeed discipline is ...

Abstract

Shortly after WW2, Japan became a place where the Allies put on trial Japanese military criminals of different standing. Overall, the process looked methodical and well-though-out, with an ad hoc classification developed for determining the guilt of offenders. The post-war years witnessed the execution of generals and the punishment of soldiers following their brutal orders. However, several years later, a complex of factors like the deliberate destruction of evidence or the enormous number of cases halted the prosecution process expediting its termination. As unethical and immoral as it was, the USA had its reasons not to prosecute some of ...

Fossil fuels refer to those sources of energies which are underneath the earth surface as a result of the decomposition of the dead plant and animal remains.

For that reason, the paper, therefore, aims at coming up with different alternatives which will help in stopping the use of fossil fuels in Japan. The plan has been developed to assist the islands which are commonly affected by the ...

Japan and Germany

Japan and Germany
Before World War 2, Japan and Germany had certain similarities in their foreign relations and domestic policies, which will be discussed in this paper. It is arguable why the two countries found themselves as allies together with Italy in world war two, but there is a great possibility that if the two countries had been neighbors, they would have fought each other because of their similar foreign policies. However, due to their distance between each other and their similar foreign policies, they were allies in the Second World War. This is because they found themselves fighting ...

Understanding of the political system of Japan is critical for understanding the major interests of this country and forecasting its behavior.

ABSTRACT

During World War II, the Allies faced an enemy with technological capabilities that matched their own. The Germans and Japanese boasted precision weaponry that was, in many ways, the envy of the world, and this skill had much to do with the success the Axis forces encountered during the war’s early years. But as the conflict wore on, the Americans and British showed a remarkable ability to adapt not only their design and manufacture of aircraft and armaments to meet the challenge of the enemy, but also their combat tactics.
