Paraphrase this passage from document 8. no matter the cost, japan's own security and economic survival had to be considered ahead of asian values. unless japan became more powerful, there was no way to save east asia from the west. japan could only be made powerful through the economic exploitation of its neighbors. –document 8: william beasley, japanese imperialism, 1987

Japan's imperialism was justified as a way to protect East Asia from the West. The idea was that only by taking advantage of its neighbors, could Japan become economically powerful. And this economic power, along with safety, became very important to the country, more so than maintaining traditional Asian values. Because it was considered so important, any action was justified in order to achieve it.

Paraphrase means to rewrite or reword a sentence, statement or article in your own words but without altering the original meaning.

Therefore, Japan's economic and security survival which leads to Japan becoming more powerful is the key to saving East Asia.

because everyone tends to get their feelings hurt if they don't agree with something someone is doing and vice versa. it's a major issue that needs to be dealt with, especially in the christian society. everyone thinks that christians hate gay people, because it is a sin, and christians "just hate everyone who sins and every one is going to hell for sinning"(saying that all in a sarcastic tone but i'm just going to go ahead and tell you why everything with that type of view on christians is wrong.

#1. christians do not hate gay people. and if they do, then that is their own personal problem. christians are not supposed to hate anyone. if you hate a neighbor (or any person basically), then that is as if you are hating jesus.

#2. being gay is in fact a sin according to the holy bible. it is in genesis. and no, the fact that it is a sin, does not mean that god hates you. he is grieved that a person is sinning against his word, but he still loves that person. in fact, christians are supposed to love everyone. we are supposed to love our enemies, but hate the sin they are doing. we love you and respect you, but we do not agree with every decision you make, is basically what i'm trying to say.

hope this you ! (:
