﻿**Confucianism Ideas and Beliefs**

__ ﻿The Five Main Ideas of Confucianism's Human Relationships __ 1. Ruler Over Subject 2. Parent Over Child 3. Husband Over Wife 4. Elder Sibling Over younger Sibling 5. Friend is Equal to Friend __**Confucianism Questions**__ There is much controversy over if Confucianism is a religion at all. Many see Confucianism as just a guide to living and being successful socially. One of strange parts of Confucianism is that there is not a mention of what happens after you die. Confucius did not mention if there is an after life or not which is not typical of a religion. Another one of the features that is difficult for people to grasp is that there is not a god in this "idea" or "religion." In every single popular religion there is a higher being that people follow. The ideas for living are followed by nearly all organized civilizations. What is it? __** Confucianism and the World **__ All civilizations have their own form of conduct that they follow, and each code of conduct is similar to Confucianism ideas. China follows the Confucian code of conduct the closest. All of the ideas listed above are are followed in Chinese culture even the Husband Over Wife. Most other cultures see the husband and wife as equals in a shared bond. That is the difference between Confucian culture in China and other parts of the world. Confucianism is one of the reasons that Western culture is resisted in China, and the eastern world. The amount of Confucian culture is one the heaviest reasons that it is resisted. World Impact ** __Confucius Himself__ ** Confucius is the one that created the ideas of Confucianism but he is not worshipped for doing that. He is instead thanked and is credited for the creation of it. He was born in a wealthy family, yet did not have the satisfaction he wanted in life. He set out to find a better way to live. His life long journey and findings is what makes up Confucianism and that Confucian way of life. Confucius' Life
