"Confucius and his teachings" february 5,2010

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.

Confucianism is a belief system created by "Confucius" a Chinese philosopher who was the most famous and important of the early Chinese thinkers.

During the "time of the Waring States "powerful rulers of several Chinese kingdoms or states fought each other for the control of land.Confucius hoped his teachings of Confucius would persuade rulers to reform,to bring peace and stability to china.

Since Confucianism started and it has been passing his teachings into different nations over periods of time it changes the way politic and economyc systems made their decisions in socities.
"the five relationships" defenitelly brought peace into china and the loyalty respect and obedience were the basis to treat one to another.

I think that the chinese philosopher"Confucius" let our socities known which was the best way people should behave and encourage us to learn how to respect eachother in daily life.
