"A ruler makes use of the majority and neglects the minority, and so he does not devote himself to virtue but to law."


1.) What is the meaning of this quote?

This quote philosophies the idea that a ruler of high regard will spend more time connecting and pleasing the majority rather than the minority. As because the majority (self explanatory) makes up the most of the population, it seems more logical to spend time catering to them. The statement "so he does not devote himself to virtue but to law" refers to the same idea, that by reacting to the mass, you are going in a direction that is logical.

2.) Who wrote this quote and what were they like?

The author of this quote is Han Fei, a Chinese philosopher who lived from 280 BC to 233 BC. He is often thought of as the greatest representative of Chinese legalism for his eponymous work the Han Feizi. in which he synthesized the methods of his predecessors to consolidate the core Legalist principles. He was a member of the ruling aristocracy.

3.) Which belief system does this quote belong to and why?

Legalism and moral law

4.) Do you agree or disagree with the message of the quote? (Explain your answer)

I agree strongly with the message in this quote, as it portrays a logical outlook on a rulers stance, and gives them the best chance of success (in theory)

ollegr [7]

Immigration is the international movement of people into a destination country of which they are not natives or where they do not possess citizenship in order to settle or reside there, especially as permanent residents or naturalized citizens, or to take up employment as a migrant worker or temporarily as a foreign worker.[1][2][3]

As for economic effects, research suggests that migration is beneficial both to the receiving and sending countries.[4][5] Research, with few exceptions, finds that immigration on average has positive economic effects on the native population, but is mixed as to whether low-skilled immigration adversely affects low-skilled natives.[6][7][8][9][10] Studies show that the elimination of barriers to migration would have profound effects on world GDP, with estimates of gains ranging between 67 and 147 percent.[11][12][13] Development economists argue that reducing barriers to labor mobility between developing countries and developed countries would be one of the most efficient tools of poverty reduction

Which best describes the attitude of the British toward American colonists?
Bumek [7]
The answer is B. Although the colonists were the same British citizens as in Britain, they were treated very differently. Colonists were seen as poor, unsophisticated underlings that could not think for themselves. The British saw themselves as an older brother, someone who watches over the colonists to make sure they don’t make a mess of things.
