Sample Questions
Q1) "The Chinese follow Confucianism in public and Daoism in private." Discuss, pro and con.
Answer: Pro:
- Following Confucianism in public can promote social harmony and order. Confucianism emphasizes the importance of hierarchy, respect for authority, and fulfilling one's role in society. This can lead to a stable and well-functioning society.
- Daoism in private can encourage individuals to focus on personal well-being, self-reflection, and living in harmony with nature. This can lead to a more balanced and peaceful personal life.
Con:
- Following Confucianism in public may lead to a lack of individual freedom and creativity. The strict adherence to social norms and hierarchy can stifle innovation and personal expression.
- Daoism in private may lead to a lack of social responsibility and engagement. If individuals focus too much on personal well-being and detachment from the world, it can lead to apathy towards societal issues and a lack of contribution to the greater good.
