They might also believe that pirates are immoral and are violent. ]]> 2023-05-16 07:50:31 UTC https://padlet.com/moe_cpdd_sec_ss/jc_rsp_breakout1/wish/2592677182 https://padlet.com/moe_cpdd_sec_ss/jc_rsp_breakout1/wish/2592682357 Western merchants viewed anyone who operated outside the colonial trading system or who opposed them was a pirate]]> 2023-05-16 07:53:59 UTC https://padlet.com/moe_cpdd_sec_ss/jc_rsp_breakout1/wish/2592682357 Merchants in general would be against maritime raiders, however as some merchants also double as raiders at certain times, they will be in support of maritime raiding considering it enables them with numerous expensive goods that can allow them to live and have a source of income. European merchants in particular however will mostly perceive maritime raiding as a criminal action and something that should be stopped with the dangers it poses such as deaths and kidnappings. https://padlet.com/moe_cpdd_sec_ss/jc_rsp_breakout1/wish/2592696708 2023-05-16 08:04:44 UTC https://padlet.com/moe_cpdd_sec_ss/jc_rsp_breakout1/wish/2592696708 Breakout room 1 https://padlet.com/moe_cpdd_sec_ss/jc_rsp_breakout1/wish/2592698300 Yes, because the leaders utilised it to increase their influence and prestige. 
Piracy in Southeast Asia was a multinational enterprise, involving both the Europeans and indigenous sea raiders. For many Sout East Asians, raiding was a way of life closely tied to war, slavery and trade. Intertribal warfare was an important aspect of society and warfare was related to maritime raiding. Raiding was also considered a respectable profession pursued not only by individual, but by entire communities and even kingdoms. For example, Raja Ismail was born into nobility in the Siak Sultanate in the mid-eighteenth century and sought his fortunes as a sea raider. His power and authority were firmly based on raiding, and he was a respectable member of his community. Trading was also an outlet for the locals to engage with other states and countries outside of their colonial administrative jurisdictions. ]]> 2023-05-16 08:05:59 UTC https://padlet.com/moe_cpdd_sec_ss/jc_rsp_breakout1/wish/2592698300 breakout room 1 https://padlet.com/moe_cpdd_sec_ss/jc_rsp_breakout1/wish/2592705155 The perspective that a merchant takes regarding the instability/ events at sea is intricately linked to his ethnic identity. An east-asian merchant for instance the chinese or japanese may come to be actively involved in the maritime conflicts as they turn to the sea due to the insular sea policies of the Shogun and the Ming Dynasty. A local merchant meanwhile might be concerned about the europeans' actions in the sea, viewing the europeans' actions as infiltrators to their way of life and way of commerce and therefore believe in the need to defend their culture. Incoming merchants might also be concerned about their safety at sea, with increased suppression attacks by the europeans.

Their actions were also racially motivated by their disdain towards the indigenous peoples. A misconception was that some of the colonial rulers, with the exception of Raffles, did not fully understand the maritime culture and traditions in Southeast Asia and hence they took measures that were overly harsh and were motivated by their perceptions.]]> 2023-05-16 08:10:54 UTC https://padlet.com/moe_cpdd_sec_ss/jc_rsp_breakout1/wish/2592705278
