The term that I chose to define for this chapter is Wang Mang. Wang Mang was a high court official of the Han dynasty who forcefully took the emperor’s throne in 8 C.E. and immediately launched a series of startling reforms.

Mencius, as one of the most influential scholars of Confucian thought, shared many of the same views as Confucius and furthered many of his ideas. One example would be the emphasis on family and its connection to the government. Mencius, like Confucius, saw that the wellbeing of the family was crucial for prosperity of the state. He also emphasized filial piety and advocated for agriculture instead of fighting more wars. Furthermore, he took on the idea of the gentleman versus the ordinary person, someone who was distinguished, diligent, righteous, and respectful. But while the views of Mencius seem to more closely mirror those of Confucius, that was not entirely the case. For example, Confucius emphasized the importance of rulers as well as loyalty to authorities, stressing adherence to the social stratifications set in place by Chinese culture and society. However, Mencius said, referring to the noble ministers of the court, that “When the ruler makes a major error, they point it out. If he does not listen to their repeated remonstrations, then they put someone else on the throne.” He argued that subjects should be able to overthrow a ruler that is unjust, for it is only a ruler that is righteous and benevolent that should be supported by the people. Mencius also stressed the importance of a person’s motives, something not explicitly seen

As the full moon shone brightly overhead, beneath its calm light were two anxious figures. The handsome man, Grand Duke Wén Dingxiang, stood near the pillars outside on the right as he paced distractedly with sweat profusely dripping along his face. He wore a white hanfu robe stitched with a golden dragon on the back with his hands clenched onto a folded dark-indigo fan. He was eight hundred and thirty years old although he still looked like he was in his late twenties. Next to him was a worried young male servant, Zhu Peng, with his head bowed. This servant has been a close aid of the man since childhood.

The military classics of China represent a long and historical culture of the Chinese people. They represent the societal concerns and developments of China and within these texts are recurring tenets that occupied the philosophy of China.

In my “This I Believe” essay about stress I tried to use a combination of ethos and pathos as a way to appeal to my audience which happens to be college students Regarding ethos I used this rhetoric because anyone with morals will feel some sort of sympathy for someone who feeling is stressed or depressed therefore evoking emotion out of the audience. Not only that but I tried to promote positivity within my essay because only talking about the negative effects of stress would be counterproductive to the essay itself since it isn’t supposed to be preachy or negative so therefore I tried to incorporate some things that my audience could use to overcome stress such as going to counselors,friends,families, and their fraternity or sorority by

Throughout the article “This Is What I Do,” the author Professor David Chioni Moore explains and evaluates the state of jazz and jazz criticism. Moore argues that although jazz experts use recordings to analyze so-called “works of art,” these recordings are not true representations of the artistic value of jazz music. He then explains that the only way to fully experience jazz in its most artistic form is through live performances. To support his argument, Moore first discloses that most jazz musicians did not give their best performances on recordings After stating this, Moore analyzes the impact copyright has on this phenomenon. Due to copyright laws, musicians did not receive money for the records that they sold, making them less inclined

Select several works of art that reflect cultural evolution and progress, and cultural regression and degeneration? It has been said that many forms of art, from poetry to music, contribute to the way we feel, think and see, and helps us to discover the hidden beauty of art. Oftentimes, art provides a historical connection to social and secular ideas. The messages in these ideas serve many purposes, whether it is rhetorically, visually or politically saying something about the way a particular artist feels or the issues the artist is trying to address. The focus of this brief paper is on the works of performance artists, theatrical artists and blackface minstrels and how their art helped draw attention to the inequities in America during their time period.

The purpose behind this replacement of leadership, as described by Confucius and Mencius, was a means to restore peace, order, and harmony. In addition, these five relationships—including between Ruler and Subject—were seen in co-existence. The break-down of the Ruler-Subject relationship could be seen across all the relationships prescribed.

Confucius is an educator having over three thousand disciples, a statesman employed not only in his own State but in several other, but most importantly, he is a ritualist who is a firm believer and steadfast advocator of the Way, which has long been discarded by rulers in Confucius time. During his time, the House of Chou had declined, the ancient rites and moral standard were forgotten, but he had been striving to become a “superior person”, a gentleman, in his whole life, and developed a variety of moral philosophies that was cited and organized by his disciples into the book Analects after Confucius’s demise.

Reverse scheduling – project scheduling strategy that establishes a project deadline and then schedules backward from the date. Tasks, their duration, interdependencies, and resources must be considered to ensure that the project can be completed by the deadline.

Certain circumstances and situations can cause drastic changes in one’s life. Sometimes change can have a negative effect on a person, and they start to resent the gift of living. Dwelling on unpleasant changes can create severe damage to one’s emotional stability. When one focuses on the negative instead of the positive, life becomes unbearable and can result in an individual wanting to take their own life. Unfortunately, that is what happened to the old couple in the short story, “The Cranes” written by Peter Meinke. Thinking outside of the box is needed to fully analyze the couple’s characteristics, their conversations, and their decision to
