.... society moral values and acted as sentinels of peace. During the shogunate of the Tokugawa family the samurai as a class were transformed into military bureaucrats and were required to master leadership skills as well as military arts (Wilson, 1994). This trend became more and more apparent as time went on. The samurai no longer believed that being a good warrior was all that was necessary. The samurai now believed that the complete man was one with a balance of both martial and literate skills. Training now involved leadership skills, meditation and poetry. By doing this, the shoguns ensured an army of elite soldiers that had the capa .....

Most of the wounded victims were quickly rushed to Laniado Hospital in Netanya, where doctors acted immediately to help all the wounded patients. Some of the wounded were transported to Meir Hospital in Kfar Saba, and others to Hilel Yoffe Hospital in Hadera. Many people feel that Barak sh .....

.... of a neutral nation's right to freedom of the seas. In retaliation for the British blockade, Germany announced in February of 1915 a submarine war area around Britain. The submarine had just been developed and therefore, existing international law could not be made to fit it. Traditional warships were bound by international law to stop and board merchantmen, but this rule could hardly apply to the U-boats. These new weapons posed a serious threat to the United States, at this point still a neutral nation. Berlin officials declared that they would try not to sink neutral shipping but still warned that mistakes could possibly occur. In orde .....

They dominated the society and demanded conformity to their social ideals, being suspicious of any new structure of society.

.... attempted to curb the inflation. He issued an edict that fixed maximum prices and wages throughout the Empire. It was an unrealistic and unenforceable idea which failed. The emperors still felt the tax issue needed to be addressed. They decided to make the hereditary class of tax collectors pay the difference. In other words, if a poor person could not pay their full share, the tax collector paid the rest. This concept wiped out a whole class of moderately wealthy people. Later, slavery split communities. Rome believed the workers of society should not benefit from slavery. Slaves then had to reason to try hard or improve. Eastern slaves s .....

The disagreement on slavery lead to difficulty in the issue of Westward expansion. Both agreed to it, but whether to admit them as free or slave states was where the split occurred. The compromise of 1850 stated that California enters free, and New Mexico and Utah decided on their own which is giving them more state rights in which the South heavily supported.
