How did Bushido affect modern Japanese culture?

Question:


plz help...thank you

Answer:


The same code of ethics and discipline is used today in Japan in business and politics. Bushido has also been incorporated into the martial arts programs.

After World War Two, a new warrior rose from the ashes of the Japanese Soldier. Business families called Zaibatsu’s were the new keepers of the Bushido Code. Loyalty to the company became a new value in the modern world. A more popular Zaibatsu that you may know is Mitsubishi. Also, after being caught in the act of corruption, several Japanese officials have been reported to resign their postions in government. Another example of Bushido today is how many Japanese martial arts still name their schools after the Bushido code. This can be seen as an attempt to promote the values of the warrior.
