there are many styles, gojoru, karate-do, Isshinryu, and many others. However, they all are taken from the same ancient style. much like how all the different romance languages (Italian, Spanish, French, etc.) all came from Latin

The original change from feudalism was done thru revolution. The same goes for Russia. The change to quasi-capitalism is made thru choice and a realizaton that pure socialism does not work. It is a wonderful consept on paper but due to human nature it does not work.

Here in the USA, we have based our sociatal rights and wrongs on a christianic/judiac system of morals. In that, anything of a sexual nature is wrong, whereas things of violence can pertain to you following the precepts of your faith. whether its being ready to die for your beliefs or more likely, to kill for them. In the eastern/asian systems, violence is wrong, and things of a sexual nature are much more highly tolerated. Take japan, you can very easily have nudity in a pg, but much of any violence raises it to an R. its also historicaly bases as well. As americans we have not had any personal access to real violence. whereas in japan they literaly had war on their mainland within the last generation. memories of things like that can last.

Feudal lords had power by retaining not only the lands and $$, but also by restricting the flow of ideas.  When towns form, they bring in not only $$, but also the flow of ideas from other areas.  Once people knew what other options were available (from talking with others), they were no longer satisfied living with the feudal system.  \n\nSince towns also bring a chance for specialization, then it allowed those feudal workers, whose earlier options were reduced only to working on the masters land, some new options. \n\n\nSo basic answer: spread of ideas, spread of $$, new jobs

Japan is a homogeneous society, which means, "Yes, it's because there are no Muslims, Mestizos or blacks". So is China, and for the same reason.

As an Asian, I have a rough sense of that but you will have to elaborate it yourself.\n\nFirst, culturally, East Asia, as you see on the map is closer to China and therefore came under much Chinese influence in the past centuries. The sphere of influence is called as Yu Jia circle. Yu Jia is a set of ideas on families, politics and how a person should live. Why the Japanese and the Thai devoted so much to their kings? Because Yu Jia said so.\n\nOn the other hand, West Asians are more subjected to influences from the middle east and even Europe. They often believe in Islam and the food they eat is also different. That I don't know much.\n\nSecondly, there are also politics reasons behind the separation. Here are some directions I can give you: energy struggle, Russia, China and the US building their spheres of influences....\n\nThirdly there are climatic differences ( which in turn affects the cultures): the west is drier and the east is more humid. Different crops are grown in the two regions and led to different rate of economic development.\n\nThat's all I can tell you now but if you really need some more information, send me an email and there are probably some resources in Hong Kong that I can send you. Don't hesitate to ask for help if you need to.

I have to agree...feudalism...is HERE....NOW.  In a very NOW sort of way....!\n\nTo work for your land....Kinda the pseudo motto of the National Guard.\n\nSo to answer the question.....it is not all of a sudden....it is here now....prevalant and will continue UNTIL....we get it right.

Here are 3 links that discuss the decline of Feudalism (the end of castles & knights)\nOthers have correctly highlighted the 2 primary reasons:\n1.  The use of cannon (gunpowder) in sieges and war.\n2.  The change in economy, Kings and the the centralized governments that they created took power and capital away from the local lords and knights.  The straight farming economy changed to support more tradesmen. etc.. \nREAD and find out more :-)
