My perspective about Oedipus Rex

My own perspective about Oedipus Rex is that many factors affect the outcome of something, one after another.It turns into a chain reaction, If something bad happens to you then you add another bad thing to it, it will worsen. His father, did something bad to someone and he is cursed and doomed to him. Now, he will escape the oncoming curse by killing his own son.

interference of gods and goddesses to the lives of mortals

Since gods and goddesses are capable of malevolence and benevolence, they tend to interfere w/ the personal life of people. They make the people fight battles against their enemies, They mingle w/ them and they even have offsprings w/ humans that turned out to be "Demi-gods", half-human, half-god. They can do anything to the humans whether they did something good or bad or they did none. No wonder that they can't establish better relationships w/ the humans because the gods will do whatever they want, whenever they want no matter what the matter is.

The discrimination of the nazis against the jewish people

During world war II, Adolf Hitler and the nazis declared a massive killing and discrimination of jews, He calls it as '' the final solution''. They began to hunt down all the jews all over Europe. They promoted discrimination and hatred of jews. The jews were forced to were yellow stars of David to identify them. All the Germans and the non-jews followed what the nazis want: They reported the jews who were in hiding, they broke in jewish shops and they gave the jews harsh treatment. The Nazis taught of the jewish people as "parasites". they taught of them as a threat to their society. Jews were sent to concentration camps to do forced labor. They were to die in the concentration camps either by exaustion or sickness. The ones that survived were sent to gas chambers to be executed. How can this genocide of jewish people happen? The holocaust is not a solution and did not solve anything! It brought scare, lost lives, broken homes, orphaned children, traumatized victims, discriminated people. The taught of killing the jewish race for no reasonable cost is just a state of mind, a disturbance in the mind and part of the nazi's imagination. What kind of strong influence have caused this to happen? The devil whispered to Adolf hitler to this holocaust. You don't believe? The swastika symbol and his suicide is enough proof.

The teachings of confucianism

The teachings of confucianism are moral, ethical, social, philosophical and political that it still continued to influence and spread not only in China, but in other countries as well.
Confucianism taught about the famous golden rule:'' Do unto others what you want them to do for you.'' It considered the family as the basic unit of the society. It also taught about the 5 relationships namely, ruler and subject, parents and children, husband and wife, elder brother and younger brother and friend to friend. These relationships promote order in society and family. Confucius also taught that the confucian gentleman is made and not born. He also taught of moderation and the standard of a ruler.

The teachings of Taoism

Founded by Lao Zi, the teachings of Taoism(pronounced as daoism) is to be like a hermit and go back w/ nature. He also founded the philosophical movement of Tao Te Ching (pronounced as Dao De Ching)which means ''Book of the way and its power'' According to him, the true way to happiness is abandoning the world and living a simply and lone life w/ nature. He believes that there is no peace in the society if the ruler doesn't abide w/ the law of nature.
Taoism goes w/ the flow of nature. They don't complain with the weather, whether it's hot or cold, dry or wet, rain or shine. Unlike us Filipinos, who complain suddenly in a sudden change of weather. They just go and let nature decide their fate.

How the caste system evolve? is is democratic or not?

The caste system evolved from a social classification/stratification to keep peace and order in the society into a racial and social discrimination. I think it's not democratic because They based on culture and belief. The social class will be inherited by their offspring and there is no possibility for them to go higher in class. Their social classification will be permanent and only karma (as they say it) will declare a person's class. Special treatments, rights , freebies and privileges were exclusive to those of high class.
It is very unjust and unfair, it is better to have a conspicuous social stratification than to have the caste system of India.
