Historical Significance Questions

Reveals Change/Past/Relevance to Today

It gives us a perspective on people's mind set back in the 1500s and we have definitely evolved from that. This is relevant to today because in order to change you have to know the history behind it. Because of writing like this we were able to see how wrong it was and change that.

The Great Learning for Women

This source reflects the perspective of men from Japan in the 1500s. they felt as though women were inferior compared to them. This helps me answers questions of how and why women were treated back in their day. However it does not tell me anything on how women felt about the topic.

The author communicates his ideas as if he is superior to women. which of course in that time he though he was. He acts as if women are stupid and who can not help but be useless.

Historical Significance

Relevance Today: Due to the Japanese kicking out the Christians out of Japan, they intern isolated themselves for around 200 years. they did communicate with foreigners or anyone out of Japan. A similar example of this happening today is North Korea who are extremely isolated from the rest of the world. this cause Japan to be very behind in modern technology.

Revels Change: I think that the Japanese agreed with his writing about the Christians in Japan. I feel as though people were trying to get rid of those specific christian cause destruction.

Revels Past: It tells you how the Japanese honored their religion and would not let others disrespect Buddhism. It also shows that they were open minded but they did not enjoy the disrespectful people. This is shown by him saying people can come and go from Christian countries.

The Edicts of Toyotomi Hideyoshi

This text shows the perspective from the Japanese specifically the Buddhists and their views on Christians. This questions the Christians perspective, not so much their values and beliefs but specifically the actions of some Christians. this helps me answer questions about what the Japanese though of Christians coming to their country, but I wish it could provide more detail on how they were getting rid of these Christians.

Whose perspective does it reflect? Whose perspectives are omitted/questioned/challenged? Which questions can this help me answer? Which can it not?

He communicates his ideas respectfully. This is shown through some of his ideas. Some of his ideas include kicking out Christians who are destroying shrines and religious temples from Japan within 20 days. Another one of his ideas was letting Christians freely go in and out of Japan as long as they do not "hinder the teachings of the Buddha" (Hideyoshi). He did leave out ideas o how to escort these people out of the country.

How does the author communicate ideas? What are the big ideas? What ideas are left out?
