Book three of Mere Christianity, by C.S. Lewis, commences by discussing moral rules, which are directions for the good human life. Moral ideals may be preferences but are not moral obedience or aiming for high morals. Morality is concerned about three things; first, fair play and harmony between individuals; second, cleaning up and improving or harmonizing the things inside each individual and third, the general purpose of human life, what we are made for, what the inventor/creator wants. Modern people think in the first way and lose the other two. Lewis next discusses cardinal or pivotal virtues which include Prudence, Temperance, Justice and Fortitude.
Confucianism is the philosophy that would be the most stable comparing to Legalism and Daoism. First of all, the goal of Confucianism was to have a society that was peaceful and just. This means that Confucius wasn't a violent man. It shows that he wanted peace. His purpose wasn't to rule everything around him; it was the complete opposite.
Daoism and Confucianism share various aspects such as the origin. Daoism and Confucianism both originate from China in which neither of them was intended to be a religion. However, most scholars and adherents treat the two philosophies as religions. Daoism and Confucianism interpenetrate and complement each other like yin and yang and they are evolving dynamically.

Similarities and Differences between Confucianism and Daoism Doaism and Confucianism are the top two ancient styles of living in China, where they both originated in 550 B.C.E (before common era). I believe that Daoism and Confucianism are both the top religions/styles of living in Ancient China, while they have some similarities they are much more different than they are similar. Both are not only ways of living but, they are a way of life. Confucianism is the belief in setting good examples for other people to follow. They are based off of the five key relationships of the ancient chinese society.
Both religion is incredible when one think about it. The one that I find most interesting is Confucianism. However, in Daoism burying people alive is a crude act. I wonder if each individual was forced to be buried or it was more of a choice. This seems like one of the most heinous thing a person could do to another.
Many religions have their own concept of social ordering in terms of class and an individual's role in society but some are just as similar to each other as they are different. A prime example of this is classical Hinduism and classical Confucianism. They are nothing similar in how social order plays a strong role in maintaining a stable society and how the highest class can help the other classes. On the other hand, they differ in how one can move on the social ladder, how social class has an effect on reaching the highest ideal, and how much power each class has. Both Hinduism and Confucianism consider social order crucial for maintaining a society.
Compare and contrast the roles of Confucianism and Buddhism in both China and Korea until roughly the 7th century Introduction East Asia is the largest emerging economy of the world at present, and this phenomenon can be traced back to its cultural, demographic, political and social traditions and identities.
