Chapter 4 Documents

In The Analects I enjoyed reading about Confucius ideas. I liked many of his ideas about how a ruler should be, and how there needs to be laws for a country to work properly. Confucius says" If they be led by virtue, and uniformity sought to be given them by the rules of property, they will have the sense of shame, and moreover will become good." I like his ideas of how a person can change and become good. Another interesting idea that Confucius had was always mentioning the virtues. Another document that I enjoyed reading was The Gospel of Matthew which talks about Jesus teaching people and telling them that if they do good they will have the kingdom of heaven and that they will be called sons of god. He is telling people that they have to do things right and be good people. Both Confucius and Jesus have the idea that people can be good and do great things, and they are giving people moral and ethical teachings.
