Blog Entry #4: Choose two of the Chinese Philosophies and make a comparison and/or judgment about their effectiveness in maintaining order.

I want to compare Mohists and Legalists. Mohists were really no harmful and really peaceful people. Their people were not violent at all . And they said that everyone needed to be smart . In which case they only picked a leaded that didn’t want any war. The rule was that everyone should love each other NO MUSIC and NO ART. They were in some way like hippies. Except for the part where they weren’t allowed to lesson to music or draw. Legalists were the total opposite of Mohists. They believed that people were born bad. Legalist believed if you did something really bad you had to be punished d a lot. I really like Mohists community I’d like to live there, its way better then Legalists.

What is the Most Effective Way for a Ruler to Maintain Order?

I think most effective way for a leader to maintain order is to have lots of power over his people and be a really good convincer. A leader needs to know how to be really trustful because people want a reliable leader. The other important think he needs is to be a pervasive speeches. He needs to try and convince his people in his point. I think a really good example is Adolph Hitler.
He was a very good convince. He made lots and lots of people against Jews. He made really strong speeches how are the Jew aso bad. And he got what he wanted lots of people began to believe him. He was very powerful over his people.
