In the Politics Book Plato, Sun Tzu, and Confucius are all examples of Mockingbirds because of what they do and how they do not get treated the way they treat others. Sun Tzu believed that "'A leader leads by example not by force.'"(31) Meaning that Sun Tzu is a very good leader to everyone he is around, he believes that a good leader should be able to lead without being forced. Sometimes Sun Tzu is victimized when he really shouldn't be because he is such a great leader. "'What you know, you know, what you don't know, you don't know. This is true wisdom."' (27) said Confucius, he is very wise, he does not ever do anything wrong. He could be seen as a mockingbird because he is wise and good to everyone but does not always get treated the way

    Confucius And Lao Tzu: An Analysis

    Social inequality is a matter of the prejudiced external classification of minority groups, and the idea of where those minority groups fall in the social class. These groups can include: women and the working class.

    Chuang Tzu Taoism Analysis

    In an impermanent world, do we have to search for the meaning of life or does it come to us? Chuang Tzu, a Taoist, believes that a happy life comes from being with the Tao or the Way. It is about letting go the desires that come to us and changing our perspective to see the world in a larger picture. It is the growing attachment to these desires which hinder the ability to find the true nature or ultimate reality and despair and anxiety grows. To have a more meaningful and happier life is to not think of achieving a goal but to go with nature.…
