cultures

More often than not it seems as though there is more than one way to fix a problem.  It seems as though we see this in the many different ideas brought about by great thinkers over the chaos and disharmony in China around 500 b.c.  From trying to fix the laws and rules to social harmony in relationships, it seems as though everyone had their own emphysis on what was most important to fix the turmoil.  The part that stood out to me most was in the confucian answer.  It stated that human society consisted primary of unequal relationships.  I really think there is truth to that at different levels in most every society.  I found it interesting that in trying to find harmony in China they did not give much thought to religion and/or spirts like India.  I took a religions of the world class two years ago and reading about these different cultures is bringing back some of the ideas I liked learning about while reading for that class.  I remember things like the buddha and the different momuments for different religions in which people pray to for different reasons.  I don't believe in polytheism myself, but I like to read about how different people see things.  I think it is good to keep an open mind.  I went to a Catholic school from first to second grade so its always something familiar when I get to read about monotheism, Jesus Christ, the trinity and the spreading of christianity.
