Answer 2

Those two are VERY DIFFERENT

--------------------------------------...

It is really hard to describe difference between those two philosophies, since both of these are VERY COMPLEX.

Well, if I try to be as brief as possible, I guess I could say it like this

--------------------------------------...

Confuscianism

People can make this world better by our efforts.

There are no such thing as ghosts, gods, and destiny. We make our own destiny.

Repect, Manner for each other must be forced to everybody. (They thought law is not the best nor smart way to control the society)

Big govenment is required

Family, Relatives, Neighbors should play a huge role in the society

Seek honor, not money.

--------------------------------------...

Taosism

People should seek absolute freedom

Greed destroys you, even noble embitions do.

No government!! No Law!!

Harder the politicians try, faster the society gets akward

Human begins are very weak beings. Do not be arrogant

Respect nature. Respect the way the world is now

--------------------------------------...

Confuscianism thought taosism spreads the idea of

indivisualism and superstition, destroying the ambition of human beings and loyarty to its society

--------------------------------------...

Taosism thought confuscianism is used by emperors and ruling class as a tool to control its people, just like communism was in 20th century.

--------------------------------------...

Well, I am being VERY BRIEF here

It will take many professional people to
