What is trying to be said here, in my eyes is that no matter what if we have people who are wise and people who value things, we will always have those individuals who will seek to sneak those items for themselves. As you explained in your video around 3:45, the second people begin to devalue things, is the second that we will no longer have theft, or any need hide things.
The author believes that we need to revert to the kind of lifestyles we were born with, just to go with that lifestyle. The author believes that it is counterintuitive to fight for things, because a sort of divine being is in control and what that divine being says, goes.
12.) Explain what “li” is as you have learned about it in Confucius’ The Analects and the class videos

To break that down Li is the way one will react/behave around other individuals. Li is essential to human beings because without a social norm people would react differently in each situation leaving you unsure what to do in certain circumstances. For example, it is customary in some cultures to bow when meeting/greeting someone for the first time or to initiate a formal setting. So, in that type of setting I would bow to you and you would bow back to me, we would have created respect and a norm for us to behave in. if Li was not in place, I could bow to you and you could go to say, squawk like a bird,
I would have no idea what is going on and therefore would have no type of norm with you.
13.) Siddhartha Gautama discovered and articulated a teaching which is essential to the foundation of
Buddhism. This teaching he called the Four Noble Truths. Identify explain these four noble truths in detail (especially the fourth noble truth!).
Siddhartha found the four noble truths to be; the truth of suffering, the truth of the cause

Per the book “there are only rough translations, for the gunas can have no equivalent in any other philosophy” the first guna, tamas, is frozen energy or the resistance of energy. Rajas, is uncontrolled power, like a raging river. And sattva is the harmony that keeps everything together. It is also important to remember that each of those categories can be turned into the others.
15.) Hinduism and Buddhism both claim that “moksha” is the goal of life, but they understand or explain moksha in slightly different ways. Explain what moksha is according to Hinduism, and what moksha is according to Buddhism. Remember to explain any supporting terms that arise in your answer. (Note:
The concepts of “samsara,” reincarnation, and the nature of consciousness will show up in both the
Hindu and Buddhist accounts of moksha. Make sure to explain these. Further hint: the Hindu account of moksha will have something to do with “Atman-Brahman.” The Buddhist account will focus more on the nature of consciousness and have a less well-defined character overall. Again, make sure to explain both accounts fully, assuming your reader knows nothing about these religions or their

Buddhism’s approach to ethics and practices are centred upon the principal beliefs of; the Four Noble Truths, the Noble Eightfold Path and the Five Precepts. By adhering to these guidelines, Buddhists are ensured that they are taking a step closer to escaping Samsara, and attaining the revered state of Nirvana,
In order to understand the concepts of the Four Noble Truths, one needs to understand the aim of Buddhist practice. “The aim of Buddhist practice is to cure craving, the desire conditioned by ignorance that leads to suffering” (Demoss 1).2 Buddhism advocates meditation, and a “…goal of Buddhist meditation is to produce right mindfulness, an alert awareness of what is happening in body, mind, and world at the present moment” (Demoss 318).3 “Traditionally, ‘right action’ is defined in Buddhist ethics by the five percepts: do not kill, do not steal, do not engage in illicit sex, do not lie, and do not become intoxicated” (Demoss 319).4 “According to Buddhism a person does not have an intrinsic permanent changeless identity. There is no core self. The self is empty” (Demoss 1).5 The Four Noble Truths provide a conceptual framework for all Buddhist thought. According to the Four Noble Truths, craving leads to suffering, but craving can cease if one cultivates a path of mental discipline, wisdom, and moral conduct (Demoss 309).6 An understanding of Buddhism is...
In the chapter on Hinduism in Philip Novak’s book The World’s Wisdom the section titled “The Transmigration of the Soul” describes the Hindu concept of reincarnation, the wheel of life, and ultimately becoming one with god. The lines in this passage very concisely describe the Hindu concepts of Brahman, Atman, Samsara, Karma, Maya and Moksha (Molloy). I believe that these concepts are at the core of all of the expressions of the Hindu religion; which makes understanding this paragraph the key to having a basic understanding of the Hindu religion.

From what I understand, the norm is not something as the constitution, but more like the social morality. This is easier to do; I don’t need to try to do something weird because I already had many experiences like that. I’m sure many people have done something anybody think that was normal, however it turns out something so stupid that makes them embarrassed a lot every time they recall about it. With my personality, I have no sense for what people call normal, for instance, about fashion, entertainment or something like that, I means something about the way of life of the modern young people. The unchangeable mistake I always have whenever I hang out with my friend every time in a while is my sense in fashion. I usually just wear the pants I used to go to school or go out to do something, and wear a shirt inside and a jacket outside if I feel cold; I am pretty sensitive to the cold even in the summer. So the reaction I always received from my friend is a good laugh from them. To tell the truth, I have so used to it to the extent I don’t even feel trouble by it anymore for it is just...
In today?s society we live by the norm and we chastise those individuals who do not live by the guidelines or expectation of society. We as a society praise those who follow our folkways in public and private. Folkways is a guideline set my society that we follow for the sake of convenience or tradition. As part of my Sociology 1B course I had to go out and observed two norm violations and violate one myself in order to understand the society I live in. In my job I was able to observe two norm violations one was a member who was passing out candy who violated
A social norm is classified as a standard expectation of what is the correct or deemed acceptable conduct that a member of a society has. The social norm that I chose to violate is the one where as I describe, you evade people’s personal space. What defines giving people their personal space and not getting too close, is that out of respect in my opinion, people need to have space to breathe and to move. If you get too close to people, either the person is going to think you are sexually intimidating him or she, you are just creepy, or even worse think you are rude for intimidating a right people have to be inches away from you. As I was getting ready to do the assignment of monitoring the reactions I would get for violating any social norm of my choice, I had a hard time thinking about which social norm I was going to
People around the world have many religions to choose from. Even though that is the case, Buddhism and Hinduism are two religions that are well known for their popularity around the globe. A diverse background of people practice both Buddhism and Hinduism. The practitioner of Buddhism would describe the religion practice as ultimately trying to seek the nirvana (enlightment) through the eight fold path, while a Hinduism practitioner would describe the religion as trying to obtain moska (liberation) through the practices of Hinduism.
Both believe in the positive or negative effects of karma on past, present or future lives. The way to accumulate “good” karma is through good actions the opposite of which will give you “bad” karma. To get to either moksha or nirvana you have to have a lot of good karma which brings better lives as opposed to bad karma which brings worse lives. Ultimate freedom comes when karma ceases to operate and you are no longer living more lives. Moksha and Nirvana promise to break the cycle of constant rebirth tha...
Social norms affect how people fulfil multiple different things and how they act in various situations. Social norms and values differ from person to person. Whether that means one social norm is superior to one person than another. Groups have specific unwritten expectations about how people are suppose to act and treat others. Some of the unwritten rules of the social norms may obtain controversial actions and not every person is willing to both accept and follow the rules. Groups that focus on different things can have a set of expectations that are shared among the groups.
Confucius’s counsel and guidance recorded in The Analects instilled wisdom when they were first recorded and continue to provide a thought provoking analysis of life and the checkpoints that guide it. The Master’s commentary on restraint, diligence, decency, and citizenship are well intended and relevant. Politics and the role of government also come under scrutiny as Confucius offers his insights in bettering the organization of power. His proverb-like admonitions use clear examples of everyday life allowing them to be understood and easily digested. Confucius’s own eagerness and willingness to share goodness he experienced makes it easier to apply and practice in one’s own life.
These Four noble truths are the fundamentals of Buddhism and diagnose the human problem. The first of the Nobel truths is that life is dukkha or suffering, this can be anything from pain physical and emotional to the basic anxiety’s of life. Suffering is the root of all problems in life and the goal of Buddhism is to end it. The second Nobel Truth states that the cause of dukkha is tanha, cravings and desires for things that we will never be abele to have or retain forever. These desires cause us to act selfishly to gratify a self that does not exist. The third Nobel Truth is that there is a way to end the cause of dukkha. Suffering can be ended if one can stop having desires and cravings by forming simple relationships within their world and reaching a state of nirvana. Finally the forth Nobel Truth states that they way to end of suffering can be obtained through following the Eightfold path. The Eightfold path is the way to inner peace, because it lays out the Middle way through life and that is used to
The norm we violated was respecting people’s private space. This norm helps us fit in and makes us feel comfortable in our surroundings. To violate this norm we will talk to our friends very closely without respecting private space. Our hypothesis is that our friends will be taken back by our behaviors. We predict that they will step back or ask us why we are standing so close. Also another reaction we predict is them laughing at us when we are so close to them since it is not normal of us to act that way. Overall the major reaction will be taken back by our actions and giving us a weird look.
The Four Noble Truths of Buddhism capture the ethos of the spirituality and its teachings. By just these four lessons, Buddha preaches the principles of tranquility within meditation, not mere concentration. From these truths he developed a guidance referred to as the Eightfold Path, a series of principles that lead to awakening when practiced and understood. He preaches that inevitable suffering comes from desire, however he concludes with a solution to a life lived in nirvana. The first two of the Four Noble Truths are Dukha and Avidya, focusing on the primitive presence of suffering within day to day life.
Character of Chandra or the Moon is exemplified by Bhatari Ratih. Moon emits light the darkness of night. Soft moonlight cultivates the spirit and wonderful expectations. A leader should be able to provide encouragement or motivation to evoke the spirit of its people in an atmosphere of joy and sorrow.
