Confucianism and Legalism

Based on reading this article, I learned of the different governments formed in Asia. Two of the most recognized in the time of Pericles are Confucianism and Legalism. Basically, a man named Confucius sought in a just and positive government in China. His ways and philosophies left a lasting impact on government not only in Asia, but the world. His belief was bringing social justice, such as providing food and security to the people. Additionally, that in theses actions there would be things done with virtue. What people wonder is " What do you think Confucius idea for a good government was?" He meant that a leader  should teach his followers how to behave, as well as fulfilling his duties benefiting his nation, and never being a corrupt government. Basically, it was a peaceful leader with a good moral. In this case Confucianism was not a popular type of government today since those methods aren't as effective in a real life situation. He values the fact that his government would manage on improving the lives of others in their community, setting equity in it. However, the other type of government, Legalism was started by Han Fei-Tzu, who, opposed to Confucius, believed in setting decisions only from the government, giving no consent or participation to the other civilians, since he believed they weren't smart enough to make decisions. In a democratic society where everyone is able to speak for themselves, Han Fei-Tzu dissented this belief, saying that his word is the only one to be followed or righteous. These two types of government are seen in China today, for how it impacted the lives of everyone.
