We´re a band






We are a band is a song that gives us a huge message, it does not matter anything, the only thing that matters is that we all have to have Christ by our side. We have to follow his path and we have to get together as a band, as a family to wait for Christ to come. We have to say the truth and nobody can not take that right from us, the right of saying the truth. We are a band, with guitars in our hands we are crossing the land, and we have to do it all together.

The Analects



Confucianism is a Chinese philosophical system developed from the teachings of Confucius. These teachings are based in moral humanity and wrong actions. It is considered a very complex system because it includes moral, social, political and religious thoughts that had an incredible influence in East Asia. The Analects are considered the recompilation of the words and acts of Confucius and his disciples. They were written during the Spring and Autumn Period through the Warring States Period. The Analects contain all the basic Confucian values such as: propriety, loyalty, righteousness, and filial piety and they were all centered in humanity. For thousands of years Confucius thought were considered an important course to study in the Chinese culture, the men that was not enlightened by these thoughts was considered a man without moral.
As we study The Analects and Confucianism, we learned that Confucius influenced the Asian Culture by teaching basic values for human morality. Confucianism central idea was the relationship and it includes the values of filial piety and loyalty. From his teachings we learned that juniors have to respect the older people, and seniors have duties of benevolence and concern to juniors. These values are the ways people should treat toward others. People also have to cultivate humanity and it has to make good actions to others.

Panchatantra






Panchatantra is a collection of tales that give advice about the proper behavior of a ruler. The fable “Numskull and the Rabbit” is about the relationship between a lion named Numskull, who was the king of the forest, and the other animals. Numskull was a pride lion that was killing all the animals. One day, all the animals agreed that every day they will send him one of them to be eaten. When the rabbit’s turn came, he decided to trick the lion by telling him that there was a stronger lion than him and that he needs to stop him. The lion was fooled by the rabbit who took him to a well and he saw his reflect and fell in it. The lion died and the rabbit save all the animals of the forest to be eaten. This fable leaves the message that leaders should give a good treat to his subjects.
We have learned that if you do bad things, you do not have to expect good consequences. People make mistakes in life and that is a way to improve, but when people continue making the same mistakes because they think that it is good, at the end they will regret for doing the things that they did, for example, Numskull learned the lesson of being such a bad king. Making good things, helping other is something to be proud of because people who do that is the people that deserve respect and to be good leaders.
