What is Confucius famous for? Why his teachings are still relevant in the modern society? (250 Words)

Confucius expounded a system of social and political philosophy. The teachings of Confucius are focused on two interrelated areas: Social Teachings, which deal with the proper behaviour of the individual in society and to his fellow men, and Political Teachings, which deal with the art of governance and the proper relationship of the Ruler to the ruled. He viewed education as central to achieving proper conduct both within Society and in Government.

Relevance in present scenario
Confucius taught that people should have compassion for one another, and to avoid treating others in ways that they themselves would not wish to be treated.
In order to be compassionate, people should avoid self-aggrandizement and be “simple in manner and slow of speech.”
They should practice altruism and self restraint. This teaching is relevant today as due to fast pace of economic growth and globalization, the inherent cultural values and virtues are deteriorating.
The enmity among people are increasing which has in turn led to rise of crimes in the society.
Confucius political beliefs were based on the concept of self-discipline.
He believed that a leader needed to exercise self-discipline in order to remain humble and treat his followers with compassion.
In doing so, he would lead by positive example i.e. leaders could motivate their subjects to follow the law by teaching them virtue and the unifying force of ritual propriety.
This teaching is equally relevant in present scenario as the ethical values such as integrity, empathy, dedication, justice are decreasing in all the government pillars – executive, legislature and judiciary which in turn leading to rise of nepotism, corruption and loss of trust of people in the government.
