Just Society
Leaders are know to be good people. In my opinion leaders just have to get peoples attention and eventually get people to follow their beliefs. A great leader protects thir people from others and has a strong way of communicating with its people. If you can comunicate with others you are know to have less fighting and more peace. Rulers are responsible for thier actions and their leaders actiong. Rulers should keep their group under control and make sure they all have similiar beliefs. I believe humans are born with some good or bad but, are mostly influenced by others. I grew up in a house where I was taught stealing is something bad. Some people grow up being taught stealing is good. The way you are taught and surrounded by change what you decide to do and believe what is good or bad. Rules determinded peoples lives. Some people grow up living by the rules and some people grow up going against the rules. This can affect your future. Also, I believe that the government should only play a small part in distributing land and money. People that work hard should be able to keep their money for themselves and people that don't work should not be able to get money from others who work harder. Lastly, to have honor means to have repect. If you are looked up to by others you have honor. Having honor has to be gained by trust. Character Counts only affects others to a small part. People don't always choose to listen to others. Many people go off of what they want to believe.

The Mandate of Heaven is that people owe loyalty to their rulers. It means that the people and ruler are linked with power. I don't believe in this rule because the leader has this as a job and shouldn't have to be given gifts to work. I believe that rulers are partly responsible for the people because they are elected. When they are elected they are choosen to make changes for the better and control the people. If they were not in charge of the people and laws then they would have no job.
ReplyDeleteI believe in legalism more than confucianism because peopel need laws to live by. If people have laws then they know what to do. Knowing what is good or bad is needed to keep people in control. Believeing that people are born good or bad is okay but they are influenced by the way that they are raised. This shows that Confucious was some what correct but missed the point that people can change by the way that they are raised by parents. Laws set the path of what is right and wrong. Whithou tlaws the world would be uncontrolled and people would be uncivil.
