Ancient China’s Philosophies In China there were three major philosophies, which were Legalism, Daoism, and Confucianism. All of them played an important role in China. One major philosophy that came out of China was Confucianism. Confucians strongly believed in Duty, humanity, and the Filial Piety. Duty is a work ethic, it meant that you had to work hard to fulfill the duties and the affairs of society will prosper as a whole.
Consequently, many opposing scholars were killed in Xianyang. The legalism philosophy of Qin Shihuang justified strict rule to increase the empire's strength and the dominance of the emperor and his top rulers. They wanted to standardize even the people's thoughts, thinking that standardization would promote his power. Qin’s strong belief in the legalism philosophy is the major reason why he
Most individuals follow the traditional definition of patriotism, which honors the love for one’s country or homeland. With this definition in mind, it is fair to say that if a man is willing to fight for his country, he is patriotic; if a woman recites the Pledge of Allegiance every day, she is patriotic; if a family has a flag outside of their home, then they are patriotic. But according to Wright, this isn’t patriotism. This form of patriotism excludes every other race while putting oneself in preference. She believes that we are the world and we must honor every single person, whether he or she be Chinese or Malaysian or even American.

Therefore, God used his wise to insight everything, in order to keep a stable life for the ancient Chinese people. God is all-powerful. God can do everything what he want.

Americans like to think of themselves as individuals that rely solely on themselves instead of others. Whereas in the Chinese economic system they acknowledge that human interactions are all transactions and we rely on something or someone with every move that we make. The essence of Confucius’ teachings is to make the ordinary things in our life extraordinary by nurturing and working at our relationships. The Chinese workplace is very different compared to the American workplace because in the Chinese culture, ones place of work is a big family and they all have familial like relationships based on trust and working as hard as one can in order to benefit their family. Whereas in the American workplace it is not based upon respect and competition is valued to highly.
Li’s freedom came down to the way that teacher Chan nurtured Li’s gift into something special that would captivate an audience, inspire a nation and bring together two contrasting cultures. In addition, I strongly believe that Bruce Beresford has created America as a symbol of freedom in this film that contrasts against the oppression of communist China. Furthermore I believe that Consul Zhang is a character that conveys the oppression of China through the way that he tries to control Li’s life and tries to force him back to Communist China. Firstly, Teacher Chan inspired Li to be the best he could be, Chan always believed in Li and saw something that the other teachers didn’t, he saw Li’s ability to overcome hardship and shine when the time called for it. Teacher Chan is a symbol of freedom in this film, he tells Li that “Before you can fly, you have to be free” and I believe this is a very important quote for freedom in this film that accentuates the motif of flying that surrounds the viewer in Mao’s Las Dancer.
The legalists believed that having an efficient and strong government would bring social order. An ideal ruler in the legalists mind was someone who used law to keep order and rewarded those who carried out their roles in society correctly. Also the ruler should punish those who were noncompliant. One distinguished leader of the Qin and legalist rule was Shi Huangdi who defeated all the opposition that came his way. He stopped anyone who wished to invade China and subsequently doubled the size of China.
when his disciples began to write down and records his teachings. Confucius’s most obedient disciple, Mencius, lived with similar to the teachings of Buddhism and Jainism, Confucius and Mencius wanted to find a way to restore peace to their land and unity through individual mortality. Confucius’s teachings had great influence to the land of China and had a huge impact on behavior and belief. His teachings were far greater than any great religions that existed in China. Confucius’s teachings were not religious but were based more on common sense
I think Paine’s writing was so effective because of the arguments he produced such as how all mankind should be treated equally and that there should be no separation of kings or subjects. He also spoke on the evils of having a hereditary succession in a monarchal system. Paine made several great points one such as why is the king taxing the
