1. The Chinese philosopher Confucius believed that if people were
to follow his set of values, then they would live a moral life.
His values focus on on the importance of daily and special
rituals, goodness or humanity, and respect for one's parents. For
anyone following these Confucianism ideals, goodness and
ritual values are not taught separately, but are, however, taught
unconsciously throughout one's childhood where they learn to
respect one's parents.
By attaining admiration for one's parents, Confucius' other
ideals are also taught. Parents teach everything to their
children, and “everything we do in life is a ritual” (1332). From
brushing one's teeth in the morning to actually celebrating a
holiday, these are all special observances that allow social
interactions and learning between people to occur. Children
learn to respect their parents first and then as they grow, that
honor extends to other figures in their life, like older siblings,
teachers, adults, and seniors. If a parent does not establish this

because they
