    The Comeback Episode: Justifying Hereditary Rule
    May 28 2021
    Happy Saturday everyone! Yzi is finally back after a very long hiatus. Today is all about "Justifying Hereditary Rule". The Sovereign was regarded by Confucius as inherently superior. His task was to model perfect behavior, setting a good example to those below him. Ministers and Advisors played an important role as "middle men" between sovereign and his subjects. They had a duty of loyalty to both parties. The People, given a good example to follow and a clear idea of what was expected of them, would behave correctly, according to Confucius. Thank you so much for waiting and listening. If you have any other questions, please send me your voice message. Just click the link down there. Also, follow me on Instagram and Twitter (@yzi_burke). “Good government consists in the ruler being a ruler, the minister being a minister, the father being a father, and the son being a son.” ~Confucius

    The Superior Man
    Feb 19 2021
    Happy Saturday! Today, we will talk about the superior man or the "junzi" as the Chinese calls it. Less than perfect people can be changed by an example of sincere goodness. The "junzi possesses the qualities of virtue, faithfulness, and sincerity, which shows in rituals and ceremonies. The "junzi therefore sets a good example to his people. Then that will lead us to the quote, "If a leader's desire is for good, the people will be good". How's today's topic? Got any message or request?

    Another Saturday is here! Today, Yzi talked about the difference of Political moralism and Political realism. Political moralism is the practice of making moral decisions on political behavior and political agents while Political realism stresses the position of the nation-state and makes a general assertion that all nation-states are guided by national or, at best, moral interests.

  • Introduction

    Introduction
    Jan 8 2021

    "If everyone could have everything they wanted whenever they wanted, there will be no such thing as politics".

    Today, Yzi starts off with the introduction of the book "The Politics Book" by DK and Penguin Random House. Among the things she said arose the questions: Who should rule? What powers should political rulers have, and how do the claims to legitimacy of political rulers compare to other sources of authority, such as that of the family, or the claims of religious authority?

    Any answer to those questions? You can send her a message linked down below.
