Compare And Contrast Socrates And Han Feii

Making comparisons: I would describe these political thinking and practiced expressed as something that took a lot of knowledge about the world and people behavior. These two writings share their ideas first and how they think things will turn out. This makes me think that all these people took a long thought process before offical establishing it. Though those people might not agree with one another, because they had their own unique ideal ruling. For example, Pericles, and Aristides might agree with Ashoka, because they have the belief of equality, and they might learn a little bit from each other. While Han Fei would be the only disagreeing, because he does not believe in soft punishment.
Comparing ancient and modern politics: These political

life in the documents had issues with longevity. Today, we don’t tend to have any physical harsh punishments, but we serve people who had broke any laws to prison. However, even today we still need to follow the laws like back then. Everyday there are people either following or breaking laws.
Distinguishing “power” and “authority”: An example of power found in “Governing a Chinese Empire.” Just like the definition of power, the Chinese emperor force their laws and standard. Giving people no right to object, especially when they have done something wrong. They don’t have the right explain themselves or anything. An example of authority found in “Funeral Oration.” Athenian Democracy did force people to obey. Instead they persuade their laws, that is is the proper way of holding the empire together. As seen in the document, it seem like they did a pretty good job at it, because it was stated that they are prevented from doing wrong by respect for authorities and for the laws.
Noticing point of view: The documents are written in second person point of view with a lot of “you” and “your.” The writers want us to put ourselves in their story and make our judgement along the way. While their making their speech, they have this motivation of persuading that their idea is the best of the all. This affected them to say all the outcome that give the readers a positive light ot it.
