What makes a society just?

In order for a society to be just, there has to be leadership. To have good leadership a leader must incorporate ideas from his people and try and get what his people want but keep a good balance of leadership. Factors affecting human nature also help to make a society just. Humans are usually born good, but its their decisions and their relationships that affect their human nature of being good or bad. Government and honor codes also play a role in making a society just. The government should not control everything and they should let people make some decisions to make the community suit them and not have to live with government rules. Honor codes help to make society just if people follow rules that bebefit others and themselves.

  1. The Mandate of Heaven is when a ruler is granted the right to rule and in return the people have to give the ruler loyalty and obedience.

    I disagree with what the ruler and people are responsible for in society because people should have the right to make decisions for society as well as the ruler.

  2. I agree with legalism because people will follow rules to avoid consequences, whereas confucianism's relationships idea could lead to people being bad.
