Cultural Warriors: The Legends and History

2009
The samurai of Japan were one of the most powerful military forces that not only exceeded their European medieval counterparts, but also held their own strict principles of honor and virtue. They held an important role in the society and culture that ultimately shaped the history of Japan. Even in these modern times, there are still significant aspects of the Japanese Samurai and other warrior heroes in the world that are still alive, thus proving their amazing and never ending impact on the global society. We have created this site in hopes to inform not only the audience, yet also ourselves, in the spectacular legend of Cultural Warriors.

Team Collaboration

We as a team have discussed many different ideas of games or animation to put in our site. We currently have a crossword puzzle with words that have been identified from the research [content] of our site. We are currently working on finalizing our drop down menus for the subtopics. We also have an Idea of a rollover on the background of the site [outside background] that would rollover words written in Kanji. Our intended audience is EVERYONE. All ages in any corner of the world.

Team Diversity

Our team is VERY Diverse. We have an equal male and female balance on the team [two Female two Males]. All of the members come from different parts of the world; two from the African lands of Kenya and Eritrea. One and a “half” from the Filipino Islands and the other “half” from the Islands of Jamaica. We all live in different aspects of our community. We all have access to computers but that doesn’t always mean we have every piece of technology that we need; for instance a printer. Some of us have to go out of our way to pay to print our homework.
