The bushido( the way of the warrior) and how it is still relevant today.
Bushido is a Japanese term that refers to the code of conduct and ethics followed by samurai warriors in feudal Japan. It is often translated as "the way of the warrior" and embodies the values of loyalty, honor, self-discipline, and self-sacrifice.
