The Feudal system is where you have Lords/Ladies who own large tracts of land.  The serfs (or peasants) who live on the land participate is share cropping, where they grow crops on the lord's land and pay him to do so with part of their crop.  The Lord inturn pays money to the King/Queen.  It was hard if not impossible for a serf to move up in the caste system and they couldn't move to another lord's land because they usually stayed indebt to their lord.

A dynasty is a succession of rulers who belong to the same family for generations. A dynasty is also often called a "house", e.g. the House of Saud or House of Habsburg. The term is also used to describe the era during which that family reigned, as well as events, trends and artifacts of the period.

basic things to look at with open and closed systems is does the system place the individual based on ascription (things you cannot change or that you were born into) or do they place individuals based on achievement. Ascription based stratification is a closed system whereas open systems follow more achievement based systems. Some examples of closed systems are caste and slavery systems of stratification. more primative socieites in addition to class and feudal socieites are by comparison more open. \n\nIts important to note that today most socieites are a mix of both ascribed and achievement stratification.

I can't be very specific but I know a democracy is a system where the people vote for their representatives and all the laws/bi-laws that govern the country.

European feudalism and Japanese feudalism were very similar. They were both looking for land masses to conquer. For example, the Japanese were looking to capture Manchuria (in China), islands in the Phillapeans, and other land masses. They fought multiple wars over those land masses including the First Sino-Japanese war, and the Russo-Japanese war (look them up in google for more information) At the same time (late 1800's) the Europeans were going for Africa. Africa was split up into territories of many of the European countries. \nThey were different in the way that they treated the people they conquered. The Japanese ruled by scare-tactics, bayonetting and killing thousands of women and children and babies, and even tortured them first. Although the Europeans did do some of that, it was much more limited.

The two main families, Montagues and Capulets, are the leading powers in the area. In the feudal system, in very basic terms, there is a strong class structure in which the leading classes control the land and therefore the lives of all the workers (also known as peasants or serfs). That's a very basic way of describing it, I'm sure any history professor would put it a better way. In the play, their desire to control their offspring (Romeo and Juliet) could be linked to their usual capability to control the people around them.\n\nI wouldn't quote me on this in an essay, I'm just thinking off the top of my head - could be a useful starting point.

Its called democracy and its what your country political system is based on.  You get a vote and an opinion.  You can choose to use this for personal gain 'I will make more cash if dude A is in power' or for selfless good of the many 'if dude B is in power poor people will be better off'.  The system is self suporting because there will always be difering opinions and diferent incentives, without it the system fails.\n\nAction - Everyone votes in all honesty for what will benefit them the most (Right Wing)  Result - you get massive gaps in economic class as one group takes power with selfish policies aimed at winning votes of the socio-economic group with the largets numbers.  \n\nAction 2 - Everyone votes for the good of the many.  (Left Wing) Result - Policies change to empower all people and trade unions take control, indusrty fails and economy crashes.  \n\nSo really you have to be thankful to those with differing opinions to yours because they keep the system in balance until we find a better way of running countries.

It goes beyond that - some of the basic principals upon which our economic system are very very flawed.  For more information read this book by Robert A. Heinlein.  While it is set as a novel, it is more a combination of essays about our antiquated, pre-technology social system.  He has a detailed appendix with provable examples of the problem with our economics system - it is fascinating.

Landowners? Vassals? Knights? Kings? Clergy?\n\nThis is the full hierarchy, generally, for Europe.\n\nPope -> King -> Noblemen -> Cardinals, Bishops, etc. -> Petty Nobles (Vassals), Tradesmen -> Serfs and Peasants -> Slaves and Servants.\n\nIn India (the caste system), Brahmins (scholars and priests) held the top tier, (although warriors held the top at first), followed by warriors, tradesmen and merchants, sudras (laborers) and finally the Untouchables (people like gravediggers)

System by which those who make more money pay a progressively larger percentage of their income in taxes than those who make less money.  An example would be that poor people pay 10% of their income as tax and rich people pay 25% of their income as tax.
