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.

Social stratification refers to the hierarchical arrangement of individuals into dimensions of power and wealth w/in a society. The advantage of the social stratification is that there is organization and order in the people. For Max Weber, social class pertaining broadly to material wealth is distinguished from status class based on honor, prestige, religious affiliation and so on. Ancient Egypt's kingdom is powerful and stable because of the order brought by the social stratification.

bloggin' 'bout d rain (again!!!!)

I forgot what to blog from d assignment/project so, I'll blog about the rain (again). The weather is very tricky and playful. This afternoon, I accompanied my grandma to visiting my deceased grandpa at Forest park cemetery. It was very hot that time and I sweated a lot! After that, I went out to go to the computer shop (to blog this). I know that the rain is very tricky and playful so I brought my umbrella. I thought that it won't rained that hard but it did! Even I have an umbrella, I didn't manage not to get wet. raining hard, flooding, wet clothes and rushing to the computer shop.
It was so hot, then so cold. Very confusing and disturbing!!!!!!!!!!

Tell me your friends and i will tell you who you are

Friendship

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Value that is found in frien

dships is often the result of a friend

demonstrating the following on a consistent basis:

• the tendency to desire what is best for the other
• sympathy and empathy
• honesty, perhaps in situations where it may be difficult for

• 
  
• others to speak the truth, especially in terms of pointing out

• 
  
• the perceived faults of one's counterpart
• Mutual understanding
• Mutual compassion

In a comparison of personal relationships, friendship is considered to be closer than association, although there is a

range of degrees of intimacy in both friendships and associations. Friendship and association can be thought of as

spanning across the same continuum. The study of friendship is included in sociology, social psychology,

anthropology, philosophy, and zoology. Various theories of friendship have been proposed, among which are

social exchange theory, equity theory, relational dialectics, and attachment styles.

Based on Wikipedia, Friends make a great impact in our lives. Our friends are very influential to us. We share secrets

w/ them, We bond w/ them together, We consult to them for advice and sometimes, We even believe their advice

that

those of our parents even the friends advice is not good. Look at the picture, you could see a teenage girl who is

smoking and drinking. she has been influenced by friends to try to drink and smoke. She will later on develop the habit

of drinking and smoking. Her lifestyle was changed by her friends. It just shows that our friends ,could somehow,

predict our future someday. ''birds of the same feather flocks together'' If you want a bad future someday, hang out w/

a bad company. if you want a better and brighter future, hang out w/ the good company. We need to choose the right

friends. I'm not saying that you could only befriend good and nice people, of course we could have an unlimited circle

of friends. We can't avoid making new friends, It is part of our system, It is a social part of us.we just have to be careful

if we get bad influences from them. we could bond w/ them but not when it comes to bad things. We could give them

good influences and we could be the one who changes who they are. We should be careful in our attitude towards

friends and we must choose the right friends because it will deeply affect our life.
