Why is “Confucian Culture” so wildly successful?

[ao333]

thank god the nazis were hounded out for appropriating and misusing our swastika symbol....

That's because Aryans conquered and ruled India for much of its modern 500-year history. Hitler thought it was appropriate to use a symbol signifying white supremacy over brown and blacks.

Know your history before insulting whites, or you'll just reinforce the stereotype that Indians have an average IQ of 80 {empirically proven}

Show me a video in which Hitler made that speech. Don't quote me with Jew media, OK?

Swatika was used in the Indus valley civilization before any tom dick and harry decided to use it.

you got the number wrong canuck...its 5000 year old....and the aryan invasion theory has been sent to the dustbin long before in india after extensive genealogical studies among the population....


you are just proving the common adage that american and canadian education system is dumb...

 

[pluto]

forget it. we all know confucian culture is not successful even in china.
i'd rather say it is successful in Japan, who inherited chinese culture and develop it.
from my point of view, Chinese people want to build china into another U.S

Confucian Culture of North korea

British culture of Singapore,HK.One of Asia's most developed nations.

There are many other so called Bristish Culture nations in the World including India. If it is not the influence of Confucian culture Why only Singapore ,Hongkong where the Chinese are majority are regard as a developed states beside those Anglo states?

 

[ViXuyen]

I'm glad Viet Nam is not on the list. Otherwise, any of our future sucesses will have to be regarded as "Confucian influenced". Fair and square game to me.

 

[true_indian]

Yeah, it is predictable that it’s a pain in your true_Indian @ss!

Take it, it is not racist. Per the article, it is not even racial. Any race can be that.

It is a fact.

You true Indian (or false Indian) can both be high in IQ as well, if you embrace the culture.

LOL. Here comes repudiation. But I didn't say it's racist? I think its just stupidity. I'll leave it at that.

WASHINGTON: Some 3.2 million Indian Americans, including Asian Indians of mixed race, lived in the United States in 2010 as South Asians led all Asian groups in population growth in the last decade. They led all Asian American households with highest media household income.

According to 2007 to 2009 data, Indian Americans led all Asian American groups in the country in median household income at $86,660. The next highest total was $77,596 for Taiwanese households.

Taiwanese and Indians also led in per capita income among Asian American groups, with $38,312 and $36,533, respectively, followed by Malaysians ($33,264) and Sri Lankans ($32,480).

Bangladeshi Americans had the biggest percentage increase over the decade, skyrocketing 157 percent, according to the study, "A Community of Contrasts: Asian Americans in the United States, 2011," by the Asian Pacific American Legal Centre and the Asian American Justice Centre.

Among the South Asian groups, Pakistanis had the highest rate of naturalization at 57 percent, while just 50 percent of Bangladeshi Americans, 47 percent of Indian Americans and 43 percent of Sri Lankan Americans were naturalised.

The report estimated that in 2010 there were about one million undocumented immigrants from Asia in the US About 280,000 were from the Philippines, 200,000 from India, 170,000 from Korea and 130,000 from China. India's total was down from an estimate of over 275,000 in 2005.

I especially enjoy the replies from Amy Fox. Her logic is flawless, and Hank's retorts embarrassing.

Why is “Confucian Culture” so wildly successful?

 

[Vassnti]

Perhaps the title should be Why was “Confucian Culture” so wildly successful?

filial piety, perseverance, humility, empathy, self-control, respect for one’s elders and ancestors, adherence to rules of behavior and authority, and correctness and reciprocity in all social relationships.

Certainly some of the ideas seem to be lost on the generation of little emperors

Yeah, my foot.

The Swatika was there in ancient India (and even today) long before anyone ever heard of Nazis.

The Nazis stole cultural elements from other cultures to make it Hitler's own vision. In fact, the term Aryan has nothing to do with having "blue eyes", "blonde hair", and "white skin".

The term Aryan was in fact a caste meaning "noble". And it is mainly relevant in the Middle East (Pagan-era), Central Asia and South Asia. Maybe Southern Europe. This doesn't having anything to do with being "white". Did you know that the name Iran literally translates to "Land of the Aryans"?

The Nazis became the result of their own ignorance and bigotry.

@Topic:
I have always been pretty fascinated with Confucianism

But the article is kinda flawed if you ask me.

Well, whatever has been left from the Indus civilization, there's potential for them. Although, it has historically been too fragmented in my opinion, and suffered from many foreign invasions. V.S Naipaul once dubbed India as the "lost civilization". Unfortunately, I agree with him.
