Description of Assignment:

Choose one option.

Option 1:

Consider your own home culture. If Confucianism became an influence, how would its principles or rules be expressed in everyday language and activity? Imagine, for example, an American city transformed by Confucianism. What would the schools, businesses, and/or government be like? How would life on a big-city street or in a subway be different? How might family life be different? If you like, you can argue the opposite perspective, too.  Now matter what, provide examples from the text and The Analects of Confucius (p. 207-210) to support your ideas.

Option 2

Describe how Daoism and Confucianism are complementary. Use evidence from the text to support your ideas
