Lee Bollinger most certainly did not deliver a proper introduction. An introduction is designed for one speaker to introduce another. “When you introduce one speaker to another, you want them to get interested in each other and to like each other: You want speaker and audience to be interested and feel warmth and friendliness. Also a speaker should give background information to enhance the speaker’s credibility with the audience (Hamilton Gregory, Public Speaking for College and Career).” Also and introduction should never insult or offend the next speaker. In lee Bollinger speech he accused Ahmadinejad of being petty and cruel and criticized his dictatorship as a president.
Mote describes Confucius as the first self-conscious philosopher that we know of in the Chinese tradition. Following his establishment as an intellectual figure, others soon appeared who held more or less different philosophical views, which together formed a spectrum, with Confucius and his school dominating one side, characterized by social conservatism and reminiscence of days long past. The school of thought itself was known for its strong ethical sense, social responsibility, and constructive, rational undertaking of the problems of man at that time. Confucianism made its mark in the history books with three important innovations that did not exist prior to Confucius. Firstly, Confucius is heralded as the founder of private teaching, as the Zhou society had yet to develop one.
Lewis believes that the book was written to shape and mold young readers minds to approve of their values. Lewis thinks that The Green Book should not be read by young adults. He thinks that The Green Book is persuading people not to think about the natural law but their subjective values and instincts. ”Telling us to obey instinct is like telling us to obey ‘people’. People say different things: so do instincts” (pg35).
The author is also saying that when you give them a label for their personality or intellectual habits they pin themselves beneath those labels assigned to them which make them dismiss any future association with other styles. The counterargument made is that the learning style movement was not needed to teach that students learn better when they participate actively in building ideas. He made reference to John Dewey who also argued in this point that without the distortions many scholars before and since have developed theories of participant knowledge making without reducing human identity into silly categories. The concession he then made was that the learning styles can be quite beneficial. It had prompted teachers to rethink the habit of lectures and it wants to help students.
These Sages, who were given “Zi” at the end of their names, went around the kingdoms, explaining to the ruler what they thought the best solution was for uniting China. The most prominent ideas were usually any of the three sects, Daoist, Confucianist or Legalist. Daoism was based on the ideas of Laozi and Zhuangzi, Confucianism on those of Confucius (Kongzi) and Mencius (Mengzi), and Legalism on those of Han Feizi. Confucianism was not adopted in Confucius’ life time. It developed later,
In Adam Smith's “Theory of Moral Sentiments”, he did not negate the moral level of the economic theory, and opposed that the moral philosophy should not be stripped from economy. He believes that every person's daily needs are limited; people should have internal restraint and regulate social conflicts through ethical. These points and the related charity activities make people understood
It is, however, first useful to sketch out how Mao and his own comrades understood the revolutionary process in which they were engaged. The leaders of the CPC did not believe that China's revolution would assume the form of a socialist revolution, directed against the bourgeoisie, and intended to initiate the transition to a classless society. It was instead designated a New Democratic revolution,
They were the relationship between the ruler and the ruled; father and son; older brother and younger brother; husband and wife and the relationship between friend and friend. In these relationships, there was an inferior person who was expected to respect the superior. And in return the superior must help and set an example for the inferior. In Daoism, however, the followers are more directly in touch with nature. They believed that the rules of Confucianism were a human creation and didn’t follow nature.
we can find supports from”思而不学则殆”(《论语》，2.15),which means if one just thinking without learning ,he will become in danger. The danger referred to should probably be the corruption of ethic , so Confucius is an advocator of civil education (which simply means to make people Xue) mostly in order to build a moral society. Si has the distinction of clarification and interpretation above Xue which only shows material. Also in Analects 2.15, Confucius stresses that if one only learn but not think, he would become bewildered . Since Dao is pre-theoretical, we access it ,in the process of Xue, through the text, the actions, the rites and so on .
The essence of the message of the Analects is the key concept that individuals should think independently, and he strived to define concepts in an abstract, universal manner in which they could be applied to multiple cultures could understand them. When it came to interpersonal relations, Confucius believed in humanity and it’s ability to learn from one another. An example of this is 7.28 where he says, “Maybe there are people who can act without knowledge, but I am not one of them. Hear much, pick the best and follow it, see much, and keep a record of it: this is the best substitute for innate knowledge.” (p. 32). Confucius’ idea of the role of a gentle man was that a man is nothing unless he is a gentleman.
