they were actually really big jerks. They were very evil, infact if a peseant looked at them wrong they would chop their head off.

The above is partially correct, though obviously not quite impartial or useful. The samurai lived by a very strict code of honour called Bushido. It should be noted however, that this code of honour had less to do with acting honourably towards others than it did with preserving one's own honour, or face.
For example, any samurai could kill any non-samurai at any time, and would be responsible only to his daimyo (lord) as to the necessity of the act. Failure to show proper respect in speech or actions (not bowing low enough, for example), would be a direct insult to the samurai's honour, which would not be tolerated and the offender put to death.
Other than this, the samurai were just people, and just as trapped in the rigid class system of feudal Japan as everyone else was.
Samurai's behave like Japanese warriors.

The difference between a shogun and a samurai is like the difference between a king and a knight.
Samurai is a class like caste and it's hereditary. Therefore, the sons of farmers were destined to be farmers and samurai's son were samurai. However, there were rare cases for some to be in samurai class. One is to show great talents in swordsmanship and others include becoming great scholars. It's very rare, though. Inside the samurai class, there was also hierarchy, and it does not always mean upgrading the status if one becomes samurai from the other classes as many samurais were poor. It was more like hereditary occupations. It was hereditary, but sometimes someone who was in favour with the higher authority could become a Samurai such as the English sailor Williams Adams who sailed to Japan but later became a Samurai actually being a samurai took many talents including heredity but that doesn't mean your destined to become a farmer. you see Japanese society was broken down in classes. durning the time off the samurai the shogun was like the "lord" or king. after him was the damiyo or someone who does the kings work(sometimes!) and the samurai. if you worked up in ranks you could have a chance to be a samurai. to be a samurai took many years of dedication and training. if caught in a dirty deed a samurai would commit ritual suicide to peserve his personal honor. At mid 1500 the separation law came. Before it anyone who could afford training could become a samurai, after that you had to be the son of a samurai.
Everyone can be a Samurai if they have Bushido. Samurais are not only for Japanese, it's for somebody who is aiming to be a Samurai and a brave warrior.
