Cold War

A 5 page comparison of the relative development of Japan
and China. Links the apparent differences to circumstance

because Japan concentrated on high-tech production geared
toward export while China’s concentration, as a matter
of her Cold War alliance to the U.S.S.R., was on the
manufacture of war goods. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Japanese
Imperialism and Singapore
[ send
me this paper ]
This 11 page report discusses the similarities and
differences between the Japanese “imperialism” or

Indonesia, or the British rule in India, Singapore, Hong
Kong, or any of its other “protectorates.” In many
ways, the nearly four year occupation of Singapore by
Japan shattered the many assumptions that had been made

authority and its ability appropriately govern its

Women's Role
During Japan's Heian Era
[ send
me this paper ]
10 pages in length. Women during Japan's Heian era
(794-1192) were represented as a combination of an
oppressed yet liberated gender, inasmuch as there existed

these oppressive tendencies were responsible for
unleashing a wealth of literary mastery that may have
forever lay dormant. While there was a certain population
of women during Japan's Heian era who held high social
position due to their business or personal relations, the
primary focus rests upon those women who, by way of
patriarchal influence, sought to break free from such
constraints through the written word. Bibliography lists 5

David H. Bayley
[ send
me this paper ]
A 5 page critique of the 1997 completely revised edition
of this book on the Japanese criminal justice system. This

which resulted over that history than it is to factors
such as the economy or the types of punishment which are

societal expectations, expectations which are both shaped
and reinforced by societal institutions, as to how its
citizens are to interact. No additional sources are
