This
document shows pieces of wisdom that Confucius learned and shared with his
followers. These show another important “step” of the learning process: making
connections. Confucius had much exposure to new information. He had a good
education, was in government, traveled to different places, and saw a lot of
conflict (Strong & Davis, 48). However, he didn’t just let himself be
exposed to the information, he took the next step and connected all of the many
things that he saw. He observed problems in governments, saw important
relationships, and experienced real life, and afterwards connected all that he
observed in order to create so many wise thoughts that we can still learn from
today. It is important for a society to learn how to connect important
information or else the information they are exposed to will become useless.
This is the next step in the learning process and is thus presented after the
Roman roads. First exposure, then connections.
