In the text "The American Electoral Process," the author Mike Kubic uses language that reveals a tone of incredulity and dislike towards the Electoral System. He argues that the system "is too complicated, takes too much time and is too expensive."
The author also employs rhetorical strategies to justify his perspective. For example, he employs a metaphor when he refers to this system as an "applesauce." The author also employs logos when he gives the example of Bush vs. Al Gore, as well as when he talks about the 15th, 19th and 26th Amendments to the US Constitution.
Neo-Confucianism was essentially a response by the Confucians to the dominance of the Daoists and Buddhists. Neo-Confucians such as Zhu Xi recognized that the Confucian system of the time did not include a thoroughgoing metaphysical system and so devised one. There were of course many competing views within the Neo-Confucian community, but overall, a system emerged that resembled both Buddhist and Daoist thought of the time and some of the ideas expressed in the Book of Changes (I Ching) as well as other yin yang theories associated with the Taiji symbol (Taijitu). A well known Neo-Confucian motif is paintings of Confucius, Buddha, and Lao Tzu all drinking out of the same vinegar jar, paintings associated with the slogan "The three teachings are one!"
While Neo-Confucianism incorporated Buddhist and Taoist ideas, many Neo-Confucianists claimed to strongly oppose Buddhism and Taoism. One of Han Yu's most famous essays decries the worship of Buddhist relics. Zhu Xi in particular, wrote many essays attempting to explain how his ideas were not Buddhist or Taoist, and included some extremely heated denunciations of Buddhism and Taoism.
