The document discusses key concepts of Legalist philosophy in ancient China, including their view of human nature as inherently selfish, emphasis on rule by harsh law over morality, and use of "methods" to control ministers and preserve the ruler's power.

Terrorism, one of the most widely discussed issues of the present time, remains as one of the least understood aspect. It exudes horror and fascinations, their shocking and unexpected character has captured headlines for years; It has become the most publicized form of political violence. But the serious study of terrorism still remains in its infancy and widely divergent views continue to prevail-with regard to its origins, its true impact on international politics and the forms it may assume in future.
Imperialism is very similar to colonialism, with one major difference: colonial powers settle the countries of which they gain control, while imperial powers do not. The term “imperialism” does not seem to exist prior to the 1800s. Nineteenth-century imperialism was spurred in large part by the Industrial Revolution. The development of new industrial economies in the 1700s and 1800s necessitated the acquisition of raw materials and the desire to gain control of marketplaces; thus, by the mid-1800s, imperialistic actions of strong nations (most notably European nations) started to become policy.

JURI 510 Quiz 4 Hindu and Confucian Legal Traditions
Vedic law lived in close association with many traditions, especially chthonic traditions, never purporting to abrogate them, and the importance of local tradition is an ongoing theme in Hindu thought.
Being Hindu originally had more to do with belief, rather than territory like it is today.
One of the main reasons that fa is often lacking in credibility is because it has been used as an instrument of politics and public order.
The Ch’in empire was to be one of li, and the notion of li was a key idea in its creation.
There are three great Dharmasastras, which one of the following is not:
Buddhism emerged essentially in protest against the legal formalism of Hindu teaching.
The Confucian legal system is full of attorneys often litigating small details in many layers of Civil courts.
Teaching the Vedas was the task of the _____________, who did it largely from
The kings of India have always possessed some regulatory or legislative power.
In a Confucian society motivated by a sense of loyalty to human relations there is no major impetus to change.
Li is a sovereign command.
Since Confucianism is based on the idea of the innate goodness of human nature, it cannot be said to be opposed to the value of human life.
In China, there is a long tradition of fa playing a subordinate role to the li of the Confucians.
The law of the Sastras is now legislation, meant to establish a single, common statutory standard for all Hindus.
The Confucian tradition is a pluralist from of legal order, in which different forms of normativity co-exist and even constantly rub against one another, each being recognized by the other as necessary yet each busily pushing at the boundary which separates them.
Dharma is:
Match the following: Fa Li Confucian society Guanxi
Math the following: Veda Sutras Karma Kshatriya Vaishyas

The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
2 Peter 3: Because some scriptures are hard to understand and some will force them to say things God never intended, Peter warns us to take care.
