There were five seminal thinkers during the classical period and they all had amazing ways of thinking. One of the most interesting of the seminal thinkers was Confucius because of the way he thought people should exist together. Confucius was a person who thought to achieve social harmony people needed to respect the place they belonged in. Although it fit the social environment he was in, today's society wouldn't be able to survive with Confucius' ideas. Another thing Confucius did that I wouldn't agree with is the gender inequality he believed in. Because of the time, he was in it's understandable why it was fine to believe in a patriarchal household. Now people should know that a household isn't lead by one of the parents but by both. He had many humbling saying to live by that many people apply to their life now. Although there are some things I don't agree with when it comes to his way of living overall Confucius had the right idea of social harmony.
Serving, helping, and fixing gets confused and is easily interchangeable with one another all the time but many people don't know there is a difference. When thinking about helping people usually help those that are in need. Helping is when there is someone that can't-do it for themselves and afterward most people helping are consciously or subconsciously waiting for something in return. Then there is fixing, which is accomplishing to change something that might have not been broken in the first place. It doesn't help the person you are "fixing" if they don't see a need for fixing or if you are fixing them without letting them know how. Now serving is the best way to make a stable environment for both the person trying to serve and the people who are being served. You aren't looking for something in return and you're going at the pace of the person being changed by the experience.
