You have just viewed a scene from "The Last Samurai" starring Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise's character (Nathan Algren) is a captain in the US army in 1876. He is asked to go to Japan and train Japanese soldiers to use modern weapons. He is captured in battle and lives in a small remote village in the mountains of Japan. Here he is exposed to the traditions of the samurai (such as loyalty to one's master, self discipline and respectful, ethical behavior). After many months he embraces the culture of the samurai and adopts it as his own.

The scene you just viewed is at the end of the film. The Japanese soldiers won a battle using modern guns and cannons (provided by Americans). The samurai's skill with swords was no match for these modern weapons.

The text discusses 3 ethical issues behind intercultural contact. As the world modernizes, cultural traditions may be left behind.
