Expulsion of Missionaries

This reveals that Japan very highly valued their religion and wanted to protect it. Shinto is a Japanese religion that is greatly orientated around staying connected to the past this shows that people at the time greatly respected their ancestors.

Yes, but only after the death of Hideyoshi. When Hideyoshi's successor took his place he began the Expulsion of Missionaries by banning all Christian Missionaries and four year later banning all Christian activities.

This can help me answer the question of what religion were in Japan during the time and which were greatly accepted and which were not. This cannot help me answer the questions of what the Christians reactions were to this, and whether these edicts were enforced.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi wrote the edicts on the Expulsion of Missionary. Toyotomi Hideyoshi was a warrior, samurai and politician. Hideyoshi because he believed that Christianity was ruining Japan.

The perspectives that challenged and omitted are the perspectives of the Christian Missionaries and their followers.

The perspective that this source reflects is the perspective of a strongly patriotic and spiritual person.

The ideas that are left out are what the repercussion for missionaries caught practicing and teaching their religion in the country.

The big ideas are that Hideyoshi believed that Christianity was ruining Japan culture and was going to eradicate Buddhism. Hideyoshi wants Japan to have no communication with christian countries for anything other than trade.

The author communicates ideas through edicts which are official orders made by a person in authority. This is a very formal way of communicating ideas and thoughts.

Aztec account first meeting

What does it reveal about the values and beliefs of the past?

Through the conversation that Moctezuma II and Cortes we can see that religion plays a big part in the cultures. We can also see that to the Aztecs the king plays a large role in their society and culture.

No, it did not because although it seemed that relationship between the two parties involved was good the Spanish ending up conquering the Aztecs only a few years later.

Which questions can this help me answer?Which can it not?

The questions that this can help me answer are how the first interaction between the two nations, what Moctezuma II thought of Cortes. The question this can not help me answer is what lead the Spanish to later conquer the Aztecs.

Who wrote?Why?

We do not know the exact author but we do know that is written from the someone in Aztec Empire. It was written after the Spanish conquest to describe the first encounter between the Aztec king Moctezuma II and the Spanish conquistador Cortes on November 8th, 1519.

Whose perspective are omitted/ challenged/ questioned?

The perspectives that are omitted are the perspective are the perspectives of the parties and members involved. We do not get to know how Moctezuma II or cortes felt about the interaction or how the rest of their people felt (the Spanish and Aztecs)

The perspective that it reflects is the perspective of an outside party. Although we do not know exactly we know that they were Aztec.

the ideas that are left out are what had happen between the two men prior to and after the meeting.

The big idea in this source is that when the two parties met they met in good terms.

The author communicates ideas through a story method and direct quotes from the people involved.

Pangye Surok

What does it reveal about the values and beliefs of the past?

It reveals that ancestry and lineage was highly valued in Korea during this time period, as simply being a descendant of a slave automatically made you a slave also. These excerpts also reveal that being drafted into the military was considered worse than being a slave at the time due to the fact that commoners would marry their sons and daughters to slaves as it would allow them to avoid military service.

Did it result in change?

During its time the Pangye Surok resulted in little to no change only garnering Yu a handful of admirers and disciples. Centuries later hereditary slavery did dwindle out of existence but the main factor for this was a drastic change in economy.

Which questions can this help me answer? Which can it not?

This can help me answer the question of how was slavery viewed at the time? How slavery began in Korea? This cannot help me answer the question of how slavery played a role in society at the time?

whose ideas are challenged/omitted questioned?

The ideas that are being challenged are the ideas of the government, as it was the law that first brought the idea of slaves into practice. The first cases of slavery were of people who committed a crime and made slaves as punishment but the law that one should not be asked whether one is guilty or not made it so that innocent people were being forced into slavery. This created the problem of hereditary slavery.

Whose perspective does it reflect?

The Pang-ye Surok reflects the perspective of its author Yu who was a reclusive scholar who saw many things in the Korean government that he believed should be reformed.

What ideas are left out?

The ideas that are left out are the ideas of Buddhism which at the time of Yu writings was the predominate religion and was against Confucianism.

What are the big ideas?

The big ideas that are expressed in the excerpt that we were given is that Yu believes that hereditary slavery is detrimental to the Korean class structure and is immoral. Yu believes that because of it's negative effects hereditary slavery should be abolished.

How does the author communicate ideas?

The author communicates his ideas through book form. This book is written in first person.

Who wrote it?Why?

Yu Hyöngwön wrote the Pangye Surok, he wrote it to express his ideas on the Korean government and his beliefs on how the government should undergo a reform.

What does it look like?

It looks like a neatly written book that consists of 26 volumes.
