Confucianism and Chinese families

Question: Describe about the Report on Confucianism and Chinese families? Answer: I have chosen the topic of Confucianism for my assignment because it somewhat is based on religion. I am a very religious person and choose the said topic so that I can highlight my views and ideas about the said topic and acquire the knowledge that others contain in the said matter. According to me, Confucianism is another term for ideas and philosophies that are based on religion. It is a study of ethics, principles and ideas taught by Confucius who was an Chinese Philosopher who suggested that love, humanity and compassion are the core ingredients which need to be present in an individuals thoughts. I received knowledge and interest in Confucianism when my friends father who worked in China for several years and acquired great knowledge and help from following Confucianism introduced the theory to me. He told me how this theory has helped him survive very critical years of his life in China and the benefits of following the ideology in ones life (Huang, Grace Hui-Chen and Mary Gov e). After my encounter with his suggested idea of Confucianism, I experience that my idea about many aspects in life have changed when I applied my mind in applying the said theory which suggested a simple thing to have love and companion in ones thoughts. I felt more at peace and everyone around me started appreciating the fact that I have become a calmer and a more sorted individual who led to many academic successes and one primary reason for this success was that I looked at everyone from the same outlook. I realized after following the said ideology for several months that my idea for success, peace and justice has changed radically making me a more honest, peaceful and a calmer individual. As I decided to further research about Confucius, the only question I have is that what must have made the famous Chinese philosopher Confucius come with such a simple and relaxed ideology which have multiple advantages and its a planned success road to prosperity. I would love to extend my research to many of this other ideologies, which will have similar results in my opinion. Another question I have in mind, which is unanswered, is about the life of this Chinese philosophy, which is unknown to all. I would love to find out how the said philosophy developed the theory and what was the reason that inspired the introduction of Confucianism in the world (Li Chenyang). My friends father has helped me a lot in my research work, as he was the one who introduced me to the ideology of Confucianism in the first place. His stay in China, where the said ideology is followed primarily has helped me develop my own personal ideas and reviews, which were very different before I was introduced to the said ideology. As this ideology is based from Asia, my few Asian friends have also guided me about the same and their knowledge about Confucianism has benefited me in my research work to a great extend.
