1. Choose EITHER Buddhism OR Confucianism and describe its origin, major principles, and how it affected existing laws, social practices, or culture. Also describe whether and how the religion/philosophy influenced other societies.
I don't know how to answer this question. Can anyone help?
1. Go to http://www.google.com or http://www.bing.com
2. Type in buddhism (or whatever search terms you need). Press Enter.
3. Read different search results until you find what you need. Take lots of notes, but do not copy anything word for word (and certainly no copy/pasting!).
4. Re-search with confucianism and follow steps 2 and 3 above.
Once you've written up your assignment (it'll probably be at least 2 or 3 paragraphs long), post it here if you want someone to check your thinking.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate you're help.
You're welcome. Go get an A!
Of course! I can help you break down the question and guide you on how to answer it step by step.
1. Choose EITHER Buddhism OR Confucianism and describe its origin:
Start by researching the chosen religion or philosophy's origin. For example, if you choose Buddhism, you can mention that it originated in the 5th century BCE in India with the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama, also known as the Buddha. Explore key events or individuals that played significant roles in its formation.
2. Describe its major principles:
Next, focus on the major principles of the religion or philosophy you've chosen. For Buddhism, you could discuss the Four Noble Truths, which state that suffering exists, suffering has a cause, suffering can be overcome, and the way to overcome suffering is through the Eightfold Path. Explore its core beliefs and ethical teachings.
3. How it affected existing laws, social practices, or culture:
Investigate how the chosen religion or philosophy had an impact on existing laws, social practices, or culture of the societies that embraced it. Look for examples of moral guidelines or ethical codes that influenced their legal systems, such as Buddhist principles being incorporated into the legal codes of ancient Asian societies.
4. Whether and how the religion/philosophy influenced other societies:
Finally, examine how the chosen religion or philosophy influenced other societies. Consider exploring its spread through trade routes, conquests, or cultural exchanges. Discuss the adoption of certain beliefs or practices into other cultures and the subsequent influence on social structures or ways of life.
Remember to provide specific examples and evidence to support each point you make. Incorporate primary and secondary sources to add depth and credibility to your answer.
