The Confucian Way
- Do you think the Confucian formulation of the Golden Rule (to not do unto others what you do not want them to do unto you) differs from the Western version of the Golden Rule? If so, how?
- Confucius believed that societies were better off when rulers ruled by personal example rather than by coercion. What did he mean by this, and can you find examples that support this notion?
- Think of some existing rituals that are helpful to members of your culture. Can you also imagine some rituals that, if performed, would make things easier?
