A belief system is an established, orderly way that groups or individuals look at religious faith or philosophical principles. These systems have often affected politics, society, and the economy in the nations or regions in which they are practiced.One example of belief system is cofucianism. ;D Confucius lived from 551-479 B.C. He was a philosopher, political thinker and educator whose ideas have greatly influenced not only Chinese culture but world civilization.It is a complex system of moral, social, political and quasi-religious thought that has had tremendous influence on the culture and history of East Asia, for the Governance, Another key Confucian concept is that in order to govern others one must first govern oneself. Confucius argued that under law, external authorities administer punishments after illegal actions, so people generally behave well without understanding reasons why they should; whereas with ritual, patterns of behavior are internalized and exert their influence before actions are taken, so people behave properly because they fear shame and want to avoid losing face. In this sense, "rite" is an ideal form of social norm. So, at the conclusion we can see that, the Confucian life model includes seven developmental stages. Theories, values, and skills derive from Tao logy, the Confucian world view. Rituals and practices show that Confucianism's cultural roots still affect daily family life. The Confucian healing and developmental model, part of the ecological-systems perspective for a global generalist practice, outlines healing and developmental concepts in a comprehensive and holistic approach to achieve a great vision of commonwealth of the world. ;D
