Hsun Tzu Analysis

I believe the most logical explanation to the Chupacabra is a coyote or dog that is suffering from a severe case of sarcoptic mange mites. The evidence behind all of the Chupacabra samples directly points to the fact that it is only a coyote. I feel this way because every single supposed Chupacabra was proven to be a coyote with this disease. It also explains why people believed the creature to be hairless and makes sense. I was drawn to this explanation because I always believe in science, and most of the time it is proven to be correct. Although, this explanation doesn't account for exactly how the Chupacabra was able to suck it's preys blood, since coyotes and dogs don't have fangs only claws. It also doesn't account for the fact that a

Mark C Elliott’s book Emperor Qianlong Son of Heaven, Man of the World is a short biography about Hongli. Hongli was the fourth son of the Yongzheng Emperor and the favorite of his father and grandfather and was born in 1711. In the beginning it describes how he rose up in rank as a son through his father who introduced him to the current emperor Kangxi, his grandfather. The first chapter gives us the story of what Hongli was like as a child and how he won the favor of the Emperor. The book follows Hongli all the time from his birth from a low ranking palace consort right up to the end of his life even after he technically gave up his title as

In the article, “Why Americans Should Quit Watching Football,” Charles Camosy states that football is a very violent activity and should be discouraged until the game is altered in some way. He does this by describing how a movie that shows violence in the NFL would not be popular because Americans do not want to see the violence that goes on behind the scenes. Camosy then goes on to say that he is a fan of football himself. He states that “Left unrestrained, I could easily watch five, six games in a typical weekend” (qtd.in Camosy). This shows that he himself is a fan of the violence he wants changed.

Systems of government have a major influence on the development and success of a civilization and culture. This can be said about Athens during its Golden Age and about China during the Han dynasty. Han China was ruled by an imperial bureaucracy based upon the teachings of Confucius which allowed only a tiny part of its population to participate in government. In contrast, 5th Century Athens was a direct democracy which allowed a greater number of its inhabitants to take part in governing. These civilizations differed greatly in geography, population and size which influenced their development. They also held contrasting beliefs regarding the source of political authority and how it was maintained. However, these civilizations also shared

Hsun Tzu’s Encouraging Learning’s main philosophy of education is to produce a refined man with an honest coherence. A man of ritual behavior, a person who would only think of doing what is good and right, a man who is enthusiastic to learn from the noble person before him, and a man of moral character. Based on his writing, he believed that even those people who had these traits and talent were still required to study to achieve one’s goals. To become an educated gentleman, the individual

Education now is something that is a way of life, just as eating is. However historically, education was one of the only ways to stand out in society, to be a ‘gentlemen’. Hsun Tzu and Frederick Douglas, though worlds apart, share many similarities on their view of education and what it should be like; at the same time, each text contains key elements that show how different their views can be and the reason behind it.

An educated person is someone who uses the necessary knowledge to facilitate and thus succeed in all aspects of life. Even John Henry Newman delineates the purpose of a higher education, which not only makes a smoother transition to a variety of realistic careers but also helps humans grow and develop over time. As a strong advocate of Confucius’ disciples of education, Hsün Tzu intends to favor a learning process that starts at birth and ends at death. In addition, he compares it to the processes of straightening a piece of wood and sharpening a piece of metal. He finds this comparison to be emphasizing the significance of the education that, in his opinion, the Chinese should turn themselves to. Tzu is correct that education should promote

Qin Shi Huangdi, the first Qin emperor, was an ambitious emperor who implemented a central bureaucratic system that oversaw the evolution and unification of China at the cost of public sentiment. The Qin Dynasty is considered to be among the most influential dynasties as it laid the foundation for the massive cultural and economic development of China that took place during the Han Dynasty, but it also failed to achieve many of its pro-commoner ideological goals. In fact, socioeconomic disparity was not alleviated and despite the notion of enriching the lives of the common people, it was under Qin rule in which public resentment of the authoritarian government peaked as there were countless peasant revolts against the iron-handed bureaucratic rule of the Qin. Because a paranoid emperor alone wielded political clout and influence, the tumultuous few years of Qin reign was rife with paranoia and suspicion among the masses. Although the Qin Dynasty is seldom thought to possess the same glaring discrepancy between ideology and state that the Communist regime in post-World War II China had, the failure of the flawless egalitarian state models in socioeconomic and political aspects during the Qin Dynasty mirrored the developments in early Communist China.

I would like to say that I chose the Tao Te Ching, however, it chose me. I was first introduced to this text one Christmas morning, many years ago, and it has been with me (in one way or another) ever since. Due to my lifestyle I was constantly losing my copy, and in my attempts to replace it I had the pleasure of owning a multitude of versions, and differing translations. Today I will be using the 1988 publication of the Tao Te Ching as translated by author Stephen Mitchell (as my primary source). One of the main reasons I chose Mitchell’s translation is because he uses “she” instead of the conventional “he” throughout his text. I found this to be refreshing and Mitchell explains this by in the forward to

Hsun Tzu's philosophy is built from the idea that human beings are by nature inherently evil, and the good they produce will only come through their conscious activity. Hsun Tzu believes that if man follows his nature and indulges in his natural desires, without transforming himself by conscious activity he is doomed to fall victim to his evil nature. "Any man who follows his nature will inevitably become involved in wrangling and strife, will violate the forms and rules of society, and will end as a criminal." Despite the pessimistic tone of Hsun Tzu's message he does propose conscious activity as a solution to man's evil. This paper will examine Hsun Tzu's perspective in light of both Mencius

Through comparing different translations of the same texts one can get an idea of the meanings for the Chinese words used by Chuang Tzu in his work. In comparison to the English language the difference in the translations of the text gives the impression that the Chinese words used are much broader terms and must be simplified before we can describe them in English. This paper will assess the second section of the Chuang Tzu, specifically Discussion on making all things equal translated by Burton Watson.[1]

When the early Christians had to keep their faith against the persecutions of the Roman Empire, they had -- obviously -- a visible enemy. Once their religion was legalized and established, however, they had new questions to ask concerning who they were, what could hurt their souls and their way of life. Some of them, at least, concluded that the materialism of the dominant Roman way of life was a non-agressive, but equally corrosive force that would destroy them -- not physically, but spiritually. These Fourth Century Christians, men and women, then left their societies and withdrew into the desert to be able to find true "paradise," not in a safe, secure niche in society, but in their relationship with
