I believe that there is a mix of Confucius and Taoist values in our society today but rarely do many of us follow these rules because of the lifestyles that people live by. In our society we lean towards advancing to higher position where ever, like in businesses or in schools this is like the Taoist belief of being submissive to advance in higher status. The American society still values things that are Confucian values like respect for others, being honest, and providing moral examples for others. However these values are rarely practiced so these values are very rare at times. It is hard to say that the society of today has any of the Confucian or Taoist values but they are there it’s just hard to see it.

English has to be one of the hardest languages to understand. Read the paragraph below and try to understand the meaning.
Two individuals proceeded towards the apex of a natural geologic protuberance, the purpose of their expedition being the procurement of a sample of fluid hydride of oxygen in a large vessel, the exact size of which was unspecified. One member of the team precipitously descended, sustaining severe damage to the upper cranial portion of his anatomical structure; Subsequently the second member of the team performed a self rotational translation oriented in the same direction taken by the first team member.
In plain English what does this translate to?
Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water Jack fell down and broke his crown and Jill came tumbling after!
