What was the reason for Japans isolation?

why did Japan want to be isolated from the rest of the world? even though they werent completely isolated, why didnt they want to trade with the outside world?What was the reason for Japans isolation?
The rulers of Japan, especially Ieyasu Tokugawa, recognized the dangers of European intervention. They learned fairly quickly what was happening to other cultures and realized the danger to Japan. And while the Japanese quite readily took in modern technology(in the form of muskets), once a stable government was formed, there was no need for such things. So the Tokugawa dynasty set a policy of isolationism in order to avoid social upheavals. This is the same reason that christianity was officially suppressed, and the religion was often used as a way of infiltrating a culture and gaining control over it.


With the Perry expedition, the Japanese rulers realized that they could no longer afford an isolationist policy if they wished to remain in power. So the upheavals they feared did come, but were still at least on their, the Japanese terms, rather than the terms of the encroaching Americans and Europeans.What was the reason for Japans isolation?
They were afraid that the foreign influences would dilute their culture and more importantly that the ruling class would loose its power.

in humans i guess it would be like the tribes, if they behave in certain ways they aggregate to form groups, maybe thats how u make societies.


in animals there are many exapmles. many types of animals, like birds or insects behave differently and so dont come into conflict in their environment. Then i guess over time a new species arises

Shouldnt an elderly person who is infected with MRSA be in isolation or confinment rather than in a assisted?

living enviorment? wouldnt this be putting others (residents %26amp; employees) at risk of infection?? (MRSA for those who do not know is similar to a staph infection that isnt easily treated with antibiotics)Shouldnt an elderly person who is infected with MRSA be in isolation or confinment rather than in a assisted?
Yes. I have been in close contact with people with MRSA and I must say that it is not a good place to be.Shouldnt an elderly person who is infected with MRSA be in isolation or confinment rather than in a assisted?
MRSA is so common it's no longer a nosocomial infection it's everywhere! iv'e seen abscesses on taints, labias, armpits, legs, arms on and on. It's usually dirty people but it seems to infect just about anybody. If you work in an alf, nursing home or hospital you have been exposed to it. All I can say is WASH YOUR HANDS and don't use dirty razors over and over I seee alot of chicks getting them in shaven areas. They have to have a positive nasal swab to be put in isolation.
RESEARCHING MRSA,IT CAN BE CONTAGIOUS,ONLY IN TOUCHING THE AREA THATS INFECTEDAND USING EACH OTHERS TOWELS AND ECT.


BEING VERY CAREFUL WOULD ELIMINATE THE PROBLEM . SO, IT MIGHT WOULD HELP IF PEOPLE WOULD TAKE PRECAUTIONS AND USE MEASURES IN TAKING CARE OF A PATIENT THAT HAS THIS.

Okay, so I work in a hospital, and MRSA precautions require isolation, contact precautions (gloves, gown, etc.) and sometimes negative pressure rooms. If the MRSA is confined to a small portion of the person (i.e. a wound or the nares), then avoiding contact with that body part will help prevent contamination. MRSA is only really dangerous if someone is immune compromised, or has an open wound, however, many elderly people have immunity issues. So this person should be on contact precautions, however I don't think it is necessary to completely isolate them. Just make sure you wash your hands.

On paper it isn't being isolationist, but in the case of the UN, for example, the US can participate as much or as little as it wants to (hence staying isolationist). The US resists almost every potential agreement with the UN because it doesn't like the idea of answering to any authority but itself. This is a very isolationist attitude.

Would a civilization in isolation last longer than one that did a lot of trading?

Isolation vs. open trading with other people....





which one would allow a civilization be more successful and LONGER lasting?Would a civilization in isolation last longer than one that did a lot of trading?
a civilization would last much longer in isolation. for example, some global consequences from the neolithic agriculture revolution (7,000-3,000 bc) included an increase in world population which lead to increase in interaction which leads to more trading and conflict. so the more you interact with other civilizations that are different than your own the greater likely hood for conflict
