Today we began class in praying a Hail Mary. After prayer, we took Quiz #2. When the quiz was completed by the class, we viewed a powerpoint on Daoism. In the powerpoint, we learned that Daoism is one of the three major religions in China and that it has 20 million religious followers. The Dao de Ching, the Way and its Power, is the book of beliefs that Daoists follow. The book does not explain a formal worship or prayer. Daoists also believe that humans are naturally fine; not good or evil, just fine.
After the powerpoint, we watched and listened to a few clips of the Disney movie Mulan. In these clips, we saw two major religions of China exemplified. The first clip was the song Honor to Us All. This clip represented Confucianism because the song lyrics talk about being proud. The next clip we watched was the song I'll Make a Man Out of You. This clip represented Daoism because it talked about staying in balance and on the path.
