WHAT CONFUCIANISM MEANT FOR CHINA ACTIVITY 49
CAUSES & CONSEQUENCE

Confucius was China’s most influential and respected philosopher. He lived between 551BC and 479BC. He examined the ideas of right and wrong and was interested in how people related to one another. His concern for the Chinese living in densely populated cities was very real. His ideas, Confucianism, explained acceptable social behavior in all situations. Confucianism set up strict guidelines for proper behavior between people.

The most basic concept in Confucian philosophy us the idea of jen. Confucius defined jen as the human quality that leads people to live harmoniously in society. The idea of jen is partly to the idea of sympathy with other people and partly the idea of, “That which you do not want done to you, do not do to others,” as Confucius said. There is no word in English that quite has the same meaning.

Confucius believed that the family was very important. In families, people learned how to act in society. The Chinese state was considered to be a large family with the emperor as father.

In the two thousand years that Confucianism dominated Chinese thought, its basic principles were adapted to meet new challenges. Disciples of Confucianism often developed new ideas to offset other religious or philosophical ideas that challenged the basic system of Confucian thought. During the Tang Dynasty, for instance, Confucian thought was challenged by beliefs of Chinese Buddhists and Daoists. Eventually Confucianism incorporated many Daoist and Buddhist ideas.

Confucian thought and its system of ethical relationships preserved order and structure in Chinese society for over two thousand years. These Chinese also used Confucianism to absorb their conquerors into the Chinese way of life.

Confucian thought, however, seriously slowed the development of Chinese scholarship as well as economic development. Because the Chinese adhered so rigidly to the ideas of Confucianism, they often discarded foreign ideas. As a result, they did not readily adopt ideas in astronomy, mathematic and medicine from the Middle East. Neither did they learn how to use animal labor for crop cultivation.
extra credit write out and answer these question for tomorrow. ( you may find answere form todays handout)
1. What is the Confucian definition of a “proper man”?

2. According to Confucius, why is filial piety an important virtue?

3. What rules for governing did Confucius give to the princes?

4. How do these statements show us Confucius’ concern for humanity?

global test 10/15 READ THIS AND STUDY!!!!!!!

Global hw: read " I am Hatshepsut" answer the 5 questions on seperated sheet of paper.

THIS TEST IS OCTOBER 15TH.

MY EXTRA HELP DAY IS ALWAYS MONDAY.
YOU MUST LET ME KNOW YOU WANT TO STAY.


IT IS YOUR 1ST BIG TEST THIS YEAR IN GLOBAL STUDIES.
YOU SHOULD STUDY THE 8 FEATURES OF CIVILIZATIONS FOR FOR THE FOLLOWING RIVER VALLEYS.
1. MESOPOTAMIA
2. EGYPT
3. INDUS
4. CHINA


A civilization is compiled of eight features.
1. Cities
2. Well-Organized Central Government
3. Complex Religions
4. Job Specialization
5. Social Classes
6. Arts and Architecture
7. Public Works
8. Written language

The first cities emerged shortly after farmers began cultivating fertile lands along river valleys and producing surplus foods. These surpluses allowed the population to expand. As population grew, some villages expanded into cities. These cities rose independently in the valleys of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. The conditions of river valleys favored farming in these and other such river valleys. Floodwater spread silt across the valley renewing the soil and keeping it fertile. Animals that drank from the river were also a source of food. The river also supplied the people with a regular source of drinking water and the means of transportation. However rivers also posed challenges. Farmers had to control flooding and channel waters to the fields. Early farmers built dikes, dug canals and also made irrigation ditches. Such projects required leadership and a well-organized government. A government was required to lead the people and aid in organizing a city. City governments were far more powerful than the council of elders and local chiefs of farming villages. At first, Priest probably had the greatest. In time, warrior kings came to power as chief political leaders. They soon set themselves up as the chief hereditary ruler and passed their power from father to son. Governments soon became more complex as rulers issued laws, collected taxes, and organizes systems of defense. To enforce order, rulers relied on royal officials. Over time, government bureaucracies evolved. Almost always rulers claimed their power came from god or divine right. These rulers then gained religious power as well. Like the Stone Age ancestors, most people were polytheistic. People appealed to the sun god, river goddess and other such spirits that they believed controlled natural forces. Other gods were believed to control human activities such as birth, death, trade and war. If not for these sometime simple things a civilization could never have come to. Rome and Egypt and other such great empires would never have exited. Man would just lead a nomadic, uncivilized lifestyle and the technologies we take for granted today would never have existed.

Eng. Lit - film class assignment



Major Assignment #1: Scene Analysis
Step #1: Choose a film (preferably one you enjoy and are familiar with)
Step #2: Choose a scene from the film (one that really sticks out to you)
Step #3: Watch the scene completely from beginning to end
Step #4: Rewind to the beginning of the scene and begin your analysis (you will probably have to rewind the scene quite often to make sure you have all the information) *Tip: pause the film after each shot to check to see if you have all the required information so you don’t have to keep rewinding the film.
For each shot you need to note the following:
Camera setup – is it long shot, medium shot, close-up, extreme close-up, etc.
Camera movement – pan, tilt, boom, dolly, etc.
Lighting – describe the lighting in the scene, are certain characters given more light, etc.
Sound – music in the background, background noise (conversations, glass breaking),
musical score playing, song from soundtrack, etc.
Dialogue – summarize/state what is being discussed/said
Character movement – describe the characters, do they move, do they speak with an accent, do the use any props?

Your paper should be set up as follows:
Introduction: (paragraph form) identify the film, the director, the actors that are in the scene you analyzed, what the set looks like in the scene.
Body: Scene analysis (use the same format as the scene analysis example we did in class)
Conclusion: (paragraph form) explain why you chose this film and this particular scene for this assignment.
YOUR PAPER MUST BE TYPED, DOUBLED-SPACED!!!

THIS ASSIGNMENT IS DUE ON: october 3rd

Exactly how you do it depends on what you are given to start. Since this is highly variable there is no easy rule for how to do it. The examples below give you some basic approaches to try.

Air (Barometric)Pressure
The force exerted by the column of air overhead
Air pressure is influenced by:
1.Air temperature
2.Elevation above sea level
3.How much moisture is in the air
1. As air temperature increases, air density decreases, so air pressure also decreases. Hot air has a lower air pressure.
As air temperature decreases, air density increases, so air pressure also increases. Cold air has a higher air pressure.
Wind – the horizontal (parallel) movement of air.

Facts about wind:
1.Winds are caused by differences in air pressure between two locations. This difference in air pressure is caused by the differences in temperature between two locations. So, in other words, winds are caused by the unequal heating of the Earth. The larger the difference in pressure, the stronger the wind.
1.Wind direction is also influenced by the Coriolis Effect (Rotation). Winds curve to their right in the Northern Hemisphere, and to their left in the Southern Hemisphere.

2. Winds blow from areas of High Pressure to Low Pressure.
3.Winds blow from areas of Divergence to Convergence.
4.Winds are named after the direction that they are blowing from, not where they are blowing to.
5.Surface ocean currents (not tides) are caused by wind direction.
