  In Roundtable Session: Confucianism and Its Implications for Equality, Democracy, and Critical Thinking

Abstract

The study maintains inequality remains one of the most salient issues in the fiber of American society. Worse is that such issue of inequality has become increasingly glaring, since the dawn of the twenty-first century. Examples of such inequalities, as chronicled in the lives of countless victims and as reported by scholars and educators working in the trenches, are both analyzed and savaged in a fair-minded manner. In addition, Confucian ideals are hermeneutically packaged and posited as an alternate theoretical purview from which inequalities pertaining to education and economics in the United States can be delineated and abrogated.
