1 answer:

5 0

There is so much to be said and analyzed about Socrates. He never took payments from his students, and distanced himself from the “sophists” who did. He viewed them to be empty in their teachings and they manipulated the thinking of others.

Socrates is credited with laying out the fundamentals of modern philosophy. He taught and advocated self-understanding. He created the Socratic method (simply answering a question with a question). He wanted to teach the true meaning of words and ideas, unlike the sophists.

A young chinese boy living in the middle ages tells his parents, who are good Confucians, that he wants to join a Buddhist monas

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

They would be sad and disappointed with their son.

Explanation:

Although Buddhism is an influential religion in China and the parents, shown in the question above, are good Confucians, who are likely to correct Buddhist teachings in their daily lives, they would be very sad and disappointed if their son decided to enter a Buddhist monastery.

This is because, to do this, the son would have to leave his family and live in the service of time and religion. This was not what families preached to be the right behavior for their children. Children should work and be responsible primarily for their families, helping parents and taking care of them when the time comes, a Buddhist monk could not bear that responsibility.

Compare the ways in which command economics and market economics effect a workers life?

Serggg [28]

Command Economies are typically bad when it comes to a person wanting to make a profit. They focus around (typically) economic equality and lack economic efficiency. Generally speaking, in a command economy, resources are allocated by a Central Planning Committee. This generally will lead to several shortages and/or surpluses in products since the demand/supply can be spontaneous.
Command=Bad

Market Economies are focused around making a profit and Economic Efficiency. Basically, people will be rewarded based on how well resources are allocated among the public. For example, take a parking lot like downtown. Generally in a Market economy, we focus on placing as many cars in the lot as possible and using the space to its full potential. However, in a Command, many in these economies will try to allocate the space so that (strictly for example) 3 small, 3 large, and 3 medium vehicles are parked- thus economic equality.
Finally, with a market economy, there tends to be less shortages and less surpluses, since we operate through the Laws of Supply and Demand in which an equilibrium price will be automatically established through buying and selling
Market=Good

Hope it Helps!
