Praxis II Citizenship

Answer: A - Confucianism is characterized chiefly by its emphases on order, obedience and relationships. Though Confucianism is often categorized as a religion, it is important to note that it is a school of thought that contains religious elements, but it is not a religion because there is no deity to whom adherents worship. Rather than focusing on divinity, Confucianism focuses on social order. It encourages filial piety (deference to one’s parents and grandparents), civil service, and a patriarchal, monarchist social order. Confucianism also encourages people to develop their goodness through education.
