An example of this for legalists is there idea of a perfect society. To have control over everything; basically a complete dictatorship. Confusionists have a big no hypocrite policy in there government I think this shows that they care about setting a good example for the people especially ones whom have been "born evil".

Two Chinese philosophies are Confucianism and Legalist. They both have very different beliefs that effect the way they maintain order. I agree with Confucianism beliefs. They believe that everyone can be good even if you are born evil. I think that this gives the people hope that they can be good and it will make it more important to them to fallow the rules. Unlike legalists who believe that everyone is evil and they must suppress it. But by suppressing it doesn't go away it's still there. It's like hiding something under a blanket it never really goes away. The confusionists go to the root of the problem and get rid of it.
