Confucius And Benevolence
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. The writer discusses how Confucius recognized the fact that humanity has turned into a selfish, egotistical and myopic entity.
No longer are people more concerned with others than they are with themselves. This move away from benevolence has caused considerable harm to man's reputation, as well
as to the manner in which people interact. However, there does not appear to be any signs of significant change to this gross lack of social responsibility; therefore, it is safe
to assume that mankind will continue down the road of self-centeredness. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
