Leaders, human nature and the government make society just. They are the factors because you need leaders to follow, you need people to be good people and you need the government to control the country. Leaders have to be strong so nobody can push them around. You can't have a leader that is weak because they will never be able to accomplish anything the people following him want. People have to behave in a controlled manner because you can't have murderers and people steeling stuff all over a country. Nothing would ever be morally right so the government would have to step in. The government has to follow what the people want. They are like a leader but just more than one person. They have to be strong so they won't get pushed around by world superpowers. The honor codes don't do anything in society I think because not a lot of people ever think about them. They don't help because the only people that follow them are already good inside and won't become bad people.

The mandate of heaven is an idea that if a ruler is corrupt then he should be take out of power. I agree with this statement because a corrupt ruler can't lead a society that isn't corrupt. If a leader makes the society corrupt he needs to be replaced with a leader that can make the society right again.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Confucianism teachings more than legalism teachings. i agree with Confucianism because it can lead a society today a lot better than legalism can.
