1. A comparison between Confucius’ thoughts and Taoist thoughts in Classic China.
The essay should follow the very basic format: an introduction, a set of arguments to support your opinion or present your comparative points, and a conclusion. (It is obvious to me that most of the essays relied too much on the Internet sources often neglect the use of such a format.)
You can certainly use materials from other sources, including sources from the Internet, but make sure you are introducing Hindu traditions and the comparison of Classical Chinese thoughts in their proper time periods. You must make proper judgments as to what materials and views should be included in your writings in your research.
The paper should be of two or three pages of length, typed in a double space and font 12 format, and having footnote/endnote been properly displayed.

Furthermore, regarding the cultivation of self, Confucius thought holds that persons and institutions work together to bring a better life while Taoist thought focuses on nurturing people who can implement their skills in the society (Lai, 2015). That is, Taoism focuses on individual empowerment to establish a strong society. In other words, Confucius thought aims at individual cultivation to lead others to achieve meaningful engagement while Taoist is open –ended since it aims to avoid conventional and normative ways. However, both philosophies embrace nurturing people to implement their skills and ideas within their contexts. Thus, both are committed to the beauty of improving self and society.
