sociocultural barrier that the age old doctrine of Confucianism has situated in front of this new frontier for Asian American youth must be assessed, analyzed and annihilated. In this study, the inherent history of Confucianism and one of its major facets, filial piety, will be examined and discussed in order to evaluate the extent of influence of traditional Asian conventions on the identity development of Asian American adolescents, particularly those who are artistically-inclined.…

Ching predicts that there will a flood that year, and when he told that to Wang Lung, Wang Lung started to speak ill about the gods. This continuously occurred and Ching did not say a word, so when the flood came Ching would have blamed it on Wang Lung for talking ill about the gods. Also when Ching asks Wang Lung to stop talking ill about the god, and that they will punish him one day for what he was saying, Wang LUng did not care. This not only shows that he's a rich arrogant man who does not…

cultural norms of ‘filial piety’ is rooted in China. The majority of interviewed government officials and managers in care agencies suggest the role of family (spouse and children) is the first source for care services and financial support for older people. Some interviewers express their opinions that the supports from children to older parents should be made compulsory/regulated by laws. Example: ‘the role of family must be healthy or good. If the children do not show the filial piety to…

In the late second millennium BCE, we find the earliest evidence of traditional Chinese history within the Shang Dynasty. During this time, many fundamental elements of what would eventually become Confucianism such as virtue, filial piety, and sacrificial ritual become prominent facets of society, manifesting in the form of politics. To legitimize the form of soft power characterized by the Shang Dynasty, it was essential that the government used this pre-Confucian approach to establish a sense…

Ancient Greeks lives center on their gods, and their daily lives consist of trying to live as piously as possible. Piety is the core moral laws during this time. To live piously is to live in harmony with the gods. It is extremely important that they must please the gods, that to act any other ways, acting impiously, is illegal and will result in punishment. Socrates is one philosopher that lives during this time. Socrates would go about the city, questioning people about their beliefs and…

definitions of piety and impiety that Euthyphro suggests and Socrates subsequent arguments against each in order to accurately discuss and assess the implications of Socrates argument in passage 10e-11a. The first explanation of piety which Euthyphro posits is that what he is doing now (prosecuting his father) is what is pious and not prosecuting someone for an injustice they have committed is impious (5d). However, Socrates simply points out that this is not a definition of piety, rather it…

takes place between Socrates and Euthyphro famously known as Euthyphro's Dilemma. Socrates is on his way to court and runs into Euthyphro on the way. After telling each other the reason for them being there, they have a discussion on the nature of piety. Socrates asks, “Is the pious loved by the gods because it is pious, or is it pious because it is loved by the gods?” This dialogue is typical of Plato’s early dialogues in which Socrates, using the Socratic Method, searches for a universal…

In the dialogue Euthyphro, Socrates inquires into the nature of piety and goodness by questioning Euthyphro, whom Socrates deems to be somewhat of an expert on moral matters. Euthyphro defines piety as being that which the gods love. Socrates argues that this definition brings about a dilemma (named the Euthyphro dilemma) that Socrates believes has only two options, both of which challenge the common role that god and religion play in relation to morality. I will argue that perhaps these two…

In Plato’s Euthyphro, the main theme and meaning of the nature of pious was discussed between Socrates and Euthyphro. Socrates is trying to help Euthyphro find the reasoning behind what makes something pious and impious. In this comparative analysis, Socrates entices the mind behind the reasons of pious and philosophy. In Euthyphro opinion, pious is what is good and pleasing to the gods, and impious is what is not pleasing and good to the gods. However, Socrates has disagreed with this meaning…
