Globalization: Chinese Culture

Tao Te Ching is one of the most well-known Chinese philosophical scripture believed to be penned between 6th and 4th Century BC and authored by Lao Tzu. It has been a bedrock for the ancient spiritual and religious tradition of Taoism. Tao Te Ching includes two books of poetic verses explaining principle aspects of Taoism such as the metaphysical concept of ‘Tao’ roughly translated as the Way or the path, the consequences of action and inaction, virtue and the juxtaposed behavior of nature. The first book discusses the manifestation of the Way and how it directs us in harmonizing with our own qualities, morals and virtue which eventually help us in harmonizing with the working of the nature. The second book deals with the difficulties of governing

Chinese culture is also greatly embedded in religious and philosophical beliefs. The way a relationship is developed between and individual and the society differs according to various beliefs. In China, two common philosophical and religious ideas are Confucianism and Taoism. Confucianism

Globalization is the process of the world becoming more connected. This process comes with major pros and some major cons. One country that suffers greatly from a negative consequence of globalization is China. China is currently suffering from air pollution. Air pollution has negative affects on both health and the environment. Although China is impacted negatively, the world impact overall, is positive.

Buddhism was created in the 6th century BCE by Siddhartha Gautama, also known as Buddha. This religion was created in present day Nepal. Lower class, poor people were more likely to convert to Buddhism due to the caste system in India. The caste system organized people into classes and the people at the bottom were more likely to be unhappy than the upper classes.

Globalization to China is both pros and cons because China is developing country. Economic globalization has made the contradiction between the ecological environment and sustainable development of developing countries increasingly acute.The entry of transnational capital increases the speculative and risk of financial markets, making it easy for short-term speculative capital to hit the weak domestic market in developing countries.Economic

Chinese culture is truly one of the great civilization our world has come across. It boasts a vast geographic expanse, over 4000 years of written history, as well as a rich and profound traditional society. Many aspects of Chinese civilization can be traced back many centuries. It is so diverse and unique, yet harmoniously blended, and presents itself a priceless benefit to the world.

In the world of Chinese philosophy, one cannot find better words than those spoken by Lao Tzu or Confucius. While they seem similar, they are indeed different in many ways.

Confucianism is regarded as one of the primary religions that have profoundly influenced Chinese beliefs and ideologies. While Kongzi, or Confucius, is the founder of Confucianism, he is not the only philosopher who has contributed to such a significant impact on China. Similarly, the Analects of Confucius is not the single text that represents Confucianism. In fact, during different time periods throughout the history, there are a number of eminent representatives of Confucian thoughts, such as Mengzi and Xunzi. Because Confucianism aims at eliminating chaos and maintaining order in a harmonious society , they all agree that the guidance and education of virtuous Confucian pioneers are of extreme importance to achieve this

Globalization is a process that refers to the increased integration between different countries and economies as well as the increased impact of international influences on all aspects of life and economic activity. Over the last 50 years, globalization has had a tremendous impact on the Chinese economy. The impacts brought forth by globalization can be both positive and negative and effect both economic performance, economic growth and the development of China’s economy. Globalization is the main factor responsible for China’s significant growth that has taken place over the last two decades. However, globalization itself is not entirely responsible. The Chinese economy has also implemented strategies which have been very effective in promoting economic growth and development. These strategies include the implantation of“Open door policy”, “Reformation” of China’s agricultural system and joining the World Trade Organisation.

In Chinese history, there were three main philosophies: Confucianism, Taoism, and Legalism. These beliefs helped shape Chinese culture as well as Chinese history. Not only did people believe in these ideas, but the three helped to govern the mighty Chinese dynasties. These dynasties all provided an impact to each doctrine; the philosophy that had the greatest impact was legalism because it ended the Warring States Period, provided structure, and strengthened agriculture, and the military of China. Although Confucianism, Taoism and Legalism had a few things in common and at times tried to resolve the same problem, they were very different from each other in their beliefs, character, and ways of life.

The religions, Confucianism and Taoism, both originate from indigenous Chinese beliefs and practices. Although they come from the same area in the world, they have several differences alongside their similarities. Additionally, they both are influenced by the Tao; however, they have different meanings behind the concept. Taoism can be summed up as appreciating all that is natural; whereas Confucianism is ideal society model created through a lifetime of relationship dedication. Neither of these religions worship a “god,” but they do have their own unique form of worship. The likenesses and differences of Confucianism and Taoism can be found in their beliefs and concepts of self-cultivation, texts, and society and nature.

Confucianism has easily been influential in the development of the Chinese state through history. In fact, the core ideals of Confucianism have evolved. Despite the harsh repression of Confucianism by Marxist revolutionaries during the second half of the twentieth century, Confucian values continues to be influential in Chinese society and recently, Confucian political philosophy has resurfaced again. In addition, the political ideas and social ethics of Confucianism can provide the basis for a new, functional form of government in China. Confucianism can be a viable political philosophy for China in the twenty first century because many intellectuals have turned to Confucianism to make sense of such social

In this essay, I will tell my experience in China and some China’s culture that I have gotten in my trip.

安寧緩和療護的道德研究與探討 中華民國一○一年六月 壹、摘要 本論文的寫作目的，主要是要探討安寧緩和療護的存在所引起道德方面上的爭議。雖然安寧病房之所以會存在，是不想讓那些得了絕症或治療過程極其痛苦的病患繼續受苦，因而放棄治療，讓他們能夠儘可能安詳的走完最後一程；但是從另一個觀點來看，安寧照護也可以被視為消極的間接殺人；若病人無法接受臨終事實，但醫護人員及家屬共同決定不告知臨終事實，依社會工作「案主自決」原則，顯有違專業倫理；當病患意願與醫療理性相左時，如何進行溝通等諸如此類議題，正相繼衝擊安寧緩和醫療團隊、臨終為不可逆事件，即使病人不願或不肯接受實情，但知的權利仍不應輕言剝奪；醫護人員及家屬應如何協商，讓病患有機會參與重大決策，不致覺得只能自己孤獨面對死亡？這些情形非常值得我們探討。 貳、何謂安寧緩和療護 根據世界衛生組織（WHO）的規範，安寧緩和醫療照顧提供罹患無法治癒疾病的病人，積極性的全方位照顧。緩和醫療照顧是肯定生命，視死亡為自然的過程，不提早也不延後死亡，積極提供疼痛及其他窘迫症狀的緩解，提供支持系統，幫助病人盡可能提升生命品質，幫助家人度過病人生病與其身後期間所遭遇的種種壓力。 叄、安寧療護的目的 安寧療護服務的目的是為生命走到末期病患及家屬提供專業團隊服務，經由完整的身、心、靈之關懷與醫療，減輕末期病患的身體疼痛、不適應症及心理壓力，對病患及家屬提供心靈扶持，輔導其接受臨終事實，陪伴病患安詳走完人生最後一程，協助家屬面對病患死亡，達到生死兩相安的境界 。
