CONFUCIANISM; (FACT: CONFUCIUS = latinized form of the mandarin chinese title...Rei Eiji
CONFUCIANISM
Founder:
Confucius (FACT: CONFUCIUS = latinized form of the mandarin chinese title, KONG FU-TZU which means MASTER KONG) whose real name was Kong Qiu or Kong Zhongni.Better known in China as “Master Kong” (Chinese: Kongzi),
Confucius was a philosopher and teacher who lived from 551 to 479 B.C.E. whose influence upon East Asian intellectual and social history is immeasurable. Given his extraordinary impact on Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and Vietnamese thought, it is ironic that so little can be known about Confucius.
“So here's some more information about Confucius.”
His thoughts on ethics, good behaviour, and moral character were written down by his disciples in several books, the most important being the Lunyu (Conversations).
As a culturally symbolic figure, he has been alternately idealised, deified, dismissed, vilified, and rehabilitated over the millennia by both Asian and non-Asian thinkers and regimes.
Confucius wrote aphorisms and ethical models for everything
from family life to public life to educational systems. One of the
most broad and all-encompassing philosophical and ethical
frameworks bears his name: Confucianism.
“
How confucius come up with this ethics?
Confucius did not intend to found new religion, In fact confucius intention was to interpret and revive unnamed religion of the Zhoung Dynasty under which many people thought the ancient system of religious rule was bankrupt
Define confucianism:
The Golden rule of Confucianism is “Do not do unto others what you would not want others to do unto you.”
Confucianism is one of the most influential philosophies and belief systems in ancient china.
Confucianism is the way of life propagated by Confucius in the 6th–5th century BCE and followed by the Chinese people for more than two millennia. It remains the social code of the Chinese and continues to influence other countries, particularly Korea, Japan, and Vietnam.
The main idea of Confucianism is the importance of having a good moral character, which can then affect that person through the idea of “cosmic harmony”.
One side of Confucianism was the affirmation of accepted values and norms of behaviour in primary social institutions and basic human relationships. All human relationships involve a set of defined roles and mutual obligations; each participant should understand and conform to his/her proper role.
There are three types of Confucianism:
Classical Confucianism
Virtues regulate 5 Social Relationships (Wu Lun)
Neo-Confucianism
The revitalisation of Classical Confucianism
Emphasis on reshaping intellectual and spiritual learning
Neo-Confucians incorporated beliefs from Daoism and Buddhism to revive Confucianism
New Confucianism
Generation of New Confucians emerged in response to the movement/rebellion against tradition (1919, May the Fourth Movement)
Intellectuals tried to apply Confucian thought to Western democracy and science
QuestionHow did Confucianism integrate itself into Chinese soci.docxsimonlbentley59018
Question:
How did Confucianism integrate itself into Chinese society? In what ways did it come into conflict with the leadership? How did it influence other philosophies that developed in this period? Why do you think Confucianism became the dominant influence on Chinese society over these other philosophies?
Answer:
Hey everyone,
Confucianism was developed based on the teachings from a man name Confucius. It was integrated into Chinese society based on the ideas of a persons good nature and morale value. During that time, some people valued the respect and social order it brought. As stated in China and East Asia to the Mind Dynasty, Chapter 4, as an ideology, it simply provided a blueprint for how the political and social order should function. For a period of time, Confucianism was not automatically taken in by some, known as Daoist, they believed it to be a false ideology. Daoist believed the mind needed to be emptied and cleared of desires. Confucianism became the dominant influence on Chinese society because it allowed people to believe in good order and discipline, respect to one another, and proper civil etiquette.

Tutor Comment:
George: this would be a very nice summary of the ideas of Confucius, but again, it is not an exposition of the text. Once more, you need to show that and how you have read the text, by providing quotations and explanations of passages. You need to refer to the text itself (page numbers etc.) There are places where you get off track. Be sure in the future to keep the topic clear and relate every concept you attend to back to the central theme.
Topic: What is “human nature” for Confucius? What evidence does he give to show that
his views about human nature are correct?
Introduction
Confucius, also known as, Kong Zi, Zhong Ni or Kong Qiu was a wise philosopher and one of the most famous people in ancient China. He was a social philosopher and thinker whose teachings and philosophy have been of great impact to Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese and Chinese way of life. His teachings emphasized justice, correctness of social relationships, the morality of government and sincerity. A system of philosophy known as Confucianism has been developed from his thoughts. Doctrines such as Taoism or legalism during the Han Dynasty (206 BCE-220 CE) used Confucius’s values. He started a career as a teacher after his mother died, where he would travel about and instruct a small group of disciples that had gathered. He touched on issues like lack of moral standards and contemporary disorder in a time when feudalism had spread in China and vice and intrigue was widespread. To him his belief was that the one solution to that problem was to convert the people to go back to the principles and precepts of the sages of antiquity. He therefore taught his students on ancient classics. His theories and principles spread throughout China by his loyal disciples. The concept of time and its movement was one concept he regarded as being of great importance (Richey, 2005). Comment by Bruce Morito: Again, avoid this biographical material in assignments that ask specific questions.
The view of human nature according to Confucius was that through an individual’s personal and communal effort, he or she was improvable, teachable and perfectible especially with self-creation and self-cultivation. He emphasized on the development and cultivation of virtue and moral perfection. According to him, from an underlying attitude of humaneness, ritual and filial piety were the ways one should act toward others. His concept of humaneness was expressed in the Golden rule that stated that one should not do to others what they would not have them do to them or the Confucian version of the ethic of reciprocity. Confucius must have believed that all men were born with intrinsic similarities because according to him: “By nature men are similar; by practice men are wide apart” (Richey, 2005). Comment by Bruce Morito: You need to work on the primary texts and not rely on secondary sources.

Investigating Novel Methods to Reduce Cholesterol Levels (Research Report)Tony Ng
In this study, we used everyday food items such as lactic acid bacteria (found in yogurt), sunflower seeds and kidney beans, to either absorb cholesterol in the gut or inhibit cholesterol synthesis in the body. Findings can potentially provide doctors and health experts with an alternative to statins, cholesterol-lowering drugs that may lead to side effects. As future work, we can explore the chemical compound present in the natural extracts that help inhibit cholesterol synthesis, and if possible, carry out trials in vivo to better determine the effects of these extracts.
Movies.. Everyone loves them.. But what is it like behind-the-scenes of these masterpieces? And, given the context of each country, should competition be introduced to spur creativity? :D
Investigating Novel Methods to Reduce Cholesterol LevelsTony Ng
According to a report by the World Health Organisation (WHO), cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the number one cause of death globally, with an estimated 17.5 million people having died from CVDs in 2012, representing 31% of all global deaths. Although pharmacological agents such as statins can effectively reduce cholesterol levels and treat patients with high cholesterol, they are known to have severe side effects. In this project, we explore the potential of using probiotics, in the presence of bile salts, to reduce cholesterol level, as well as the use of natural substances to inhibit cholesterol synthesis.
Bacterial soft rot has caused more crop losses worldwide than any other bacterial disease. Current methods of inhibiting bacterial soft rot, such as using chemicals, proved to be inefficient and not environmentally-friendly. In order to develop a more environmentally-friendly and cost effective product to curb bacterial soft rot, tannic acid and green tea extract were tested for their effectiveness against the plant pathogen and causative agent for soft rot, Pectobacterium carotovorum.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Aka Kong Qui
His teachings, preserved in the Analects, focused on
creating ethical models of family and public
interaction, and setting educational standards.
He died in 479 B.C.
Introduction
3. Introduction
Confucianism later became the official imperial philosophy of
China, and was extremely influential during the Han, Tang
and Song dynasties.
His teachings are foundational to Asian cultures. His writings,
The Five Classics, a collection of ancient Chinese literature,
and The Four Books, a collection of Confucius' and his
disciple's teachings, was for centuries the standard
curriculum for Chinese education.
4. Background of Confucius:
Why had he come up with COnfucianism
Born in the Lu province in China.
Lived during the Chou dynasty when the land was divided among
feudal lords (a man of rank in the ancient regime).
Moral and social order was in a state of decay,
this pushed Confucius to seek a way to restore cultural-political
order.
儒
5. Believed that reform would come through educating leaders
in the classics and his philos0phy.
Had a cabinet position at the age of 50, ascended to higher
positions of public office.
However, he resigned his post at 55 due to internal
conflicts and political disagreements.
He then traveled for 13 years teaching and trying to
persuade political leaders to adopt his teachings.
Background of Confucius:
Why had he come up with COnfucianism
6. Although the lords all respected him, not one gave him a position.
Discouraged, COnfucius devoted his final years to teaching and writing
while expressing his discouragement and disillusionment regarding
his career.
Although Confucius himself was not that successful in terms of
persuading the government to adopt his teachings, his disciples had
better luck and managed to get prominent positions in government.
Background of Confucius:
Why had he come up with COnfucianism
7. In addition to Confucius’ teachings, his disciples also
added their own insights.
The teachings and insights are what we call
Confucianism today.
Background of Confucius:
Why had he come up with COnfucianism
8. Anyone and everyone should be educated.
The method of teaching depends on the student.
Students can get something new after reviewing old
knowledge.
Views on education
9. Confucius’s definition of ‘education’
Confucius believes that other than formal education, students
should also learn to love others and appreciate them,
which we come to know as ‘moral education’.
He rephrased the biblical saying which was ‘Do unto others
as you would have them do unto you’ into ‘Do not do to
others what you would have them not do to you’ (Analects
15:23).
10. Confucius’s definition of ‘education’
According to dictionary.reference.com, the education
system that Confucius devised, confucianism, is defined
as ‘the system of ethics, education and statesmanship
taught by Confucius and his disciples, stressing love
for humanity, ancestor worship, reverence for
parents, and harmony in thought and conduct.’
11. Purpose of education for Confucius
Emphasis on three principles, namely Li, Jen and Chun-Tzu.
Li has several meanings, mostly translated to proprietary,
respect, reverence and courtesy.
Jen is the very core of confucian teaching, it is the virtue of
virtue and benevolence.
It is through Jen that the ‘silver rule’ was made.
Li provides the structure for human interaction, Jen makes
it a moral system.
12. Purpose of education for Confucius
Chun-Tzu is the idea of a true gentleman (familiar?). It means
that one lives on the highest ethical standards possible and
displays ALL of these five virtues: Self-respect, generosity,
sincerity, persistence and benevolence.
13. Relationships
Central to Confucius' teaching are relationships and social roles. There
are five great relationships:
1. Kindness in the father and obedient devotion in the son
2. Gentility in the eldest brother and humility and respect in the
younger
3. Righteous behavior in the husband and obedience in the wife
4. Humane consideration in elders and deference in juniors
5. Benevolence in rulers and loyalty of ministers and subjects
If these attitudes are practised there will be harmony among all.
14. Ethics
Confucian ethics are described as humanistic. This ethical philosophy can be
practiced by all the members of a society. Confucian ethics is characterized by the
promotion of virtues, encompassed by the Five Constants, or the Wuchang (五常),
extrapolated by Confucian scholars during the Han Dynasty.
The Five Constants are:
仁, humaneness
義, righteousness or justice
禮, proper rite
智, knowledge
信, integrity
15. Ethics
These are accompanied by the classical Sìzì (四字), that singles out four virtues, one
of which is included among the Five Constants:
忠, loyalty
孝, filial piety
節, continency
義, righteousness
16. There are still many other elements such as
誠, honesty
恕, kindness and forgiveness
廉, honesty and cleanness
恥, shame, judge and sense of right and wrong
勇, bravery
溫, kind and gentle
良, good, kindhearted
恭, respectful, reverent
儉, frugal
讓, modestly, self-effacing
Ethics
17. Influence
17-century Europe:
The works of Confucius were translated into European languages
through the agency of Jesuit (Society of Jesus) scholars stationed
in China.
Translations of Confucian texts influenced European thinkers of the
period, particularly among the Deists and other philosophical
groups of the Enlightenment who were interested by the
integration of the system of morality of Confucius into
Western civilization.
18. Influence
On Islamic thought:
From the late 17th century onwards a whole body of
literature known as the Han Kitab developed amongst
the Hui Muslims of China who infused Islamic thought
with Confucianism.
19. Influence
In modern times:
Important military and political figures in modern Chinese history
continued to be influenced by Confucianism, like the Muslim
warlord Ma Fuxiang.
The New Life Movement in the early 20th century was also
influenced by Confucianism.
20. Influence
In modern times:
There exists among political scientists and economists a theory that
Confucianism plays a large latent role in the ostensibly non-
Confucian cultures of modern-day East Asia, in the form of the
rigorous work ethic it endowed those cultures with. These
scholars have held that Confucianism is the main reason why
many of the people of the East Asia region have been able to
modernize and industrialize as quickly as Singapore, Malaysia,
Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and even China has
done.
21. Relevance to today’s society
Still very much relevant in today’s society
Eighty Confucian centres in the US and more around the world
are funded by the People’s Republic in China.
The society is embracing the ancient philosophy because of the
spirit of openness and reform sweeping through many areas
of Chinese life.
However, it is also due to the nature of Confucian ideas, which
support the continuity of Chinese history, that the Communist
ideology cannot be excluded.
22. Relevance to today’s society
Detrimental to today’s society
The idea of modelling one self after respected elders might
explain why Chinese students have a hard time disagreeing
or questioning their teachers. This could result in a rigid and
narrow way of thinking, which could in turn cause for a lack
of innovation and creative ideas
New ideas are suppressed for more established wisdoms.
An example could be the fact that civil service entrance
exams still contain questions regarding esoteric texts that
have no relevance whatsoever to the job.
23. Quotes
Education breeds confidence. Confidence breeds hope. Hope breeds
peace.
By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is
noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by
experience, which is the bitterest.
24. Quotes
Success depends upon previous preparation, and without such
preparation there is sure to be failure.
The expectations of life depend upon diligence; the mechanic that
would perfect his work must first sharpen his tools.
Only the wisest and stupidest of men never change.
