Answer 1

The philosophy of the samurai is known as bushido, literally the "way of the warrior." The tenets of bushido include:

• Rectitude -- always acting the part of the samurai,
• Benevolence -- helping the weak (though this didn't extend to beggars),
• Respect toward one's superiors, and also to one's opponent,
• Loyalty to one's master, and through them to the emperor,
• Honesty -- it was forbidden to lie to one's peers or superiors, even about small things,
• Honor to the code of the samurai, the laws of Japan, and to one's ancestors.
