The Last Samurai: Traditional vs Mordern

The Last Samurai is a great movie showing the conflict when change is introduced. When the Americans begin selling guns, and effected Japan's culture more noticeably, the samurai are unhappy. The samurai are the traditional warriors in Japan, and they want their ways of life to remain the same. They believe in the sword, and death by the sword. So, they form a rebellion for the better of their country. The emperor of Japan is being manipulated by one his council, because he is weak and indecisive. The samurai serve their emperor and know wheat is best or their home.
In the final scene of the movie, after all of the other samurai are killed, Tom Cruise presents the samurai leaders sword to the emperor. In this moment, he realizes what he was doing was wrong. He says that the treaty with America is not what is best for his people, and that they mustn't forget who they our, and their Traditional ways of life. To be proud of who you are, and what you stand for. The samurai believed in serving the emperor for the better of the country, and they fought to their death to show that modernization was not best for Japan.

Newtons Laws at Leo Fu

On Friday, I saw multiple examples of each of Newtons 3 Laws. Newtons First Law is that 'an object in motion will stay in motion, and an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside force. My example from Leo Fu is the Pirate Ship. Before it began, it was at rest, and would have stayed that way without the mechanical stuff. And if the ship was not hooked up to anything, it would continue flying upwards and not stop to return to the other side. Newtons Second Law is 'the acceleration of an object depends on the force acting on the object and the mass of the object'. The pirate ship is also a good example for this law. The higher the mass of an object, the more force necessary to accelerate the object. The Pirate Ship was very heavy, so it must take large amounts of force to make it move. Newtons Third Law states that 'every action has an equal and opposite reaction'. The Canyon River Rapids ride is a good example for this law. The raft would bounce into the walls, and their reaction was to bounce back away from them afterward.
