Homework 9/30/13

Pg 225:
The number zero represents nothing and is alps used as a place holder. This is why zero is so important. You could have 265, but adding a zero as a place holder changes the number. It could not be 2065, 2605, or 2056. Zero makes calculations but easier and you are able to do more complicated math problems. This is why zero is really important.

Pg 227:
The teachings of Confucius and the care duties of Hiduism are similar because they are both influenced heavily by the social hierarchy. Hiduism calls for people to do their duties in their caste to be enlightened while the teaching of Confucius did not teach about hierarchy for your benefit of religion, to to benefit the government. Zarathustra is different from both Hiduism and Confuciunism because a social hierarchy does not play any sort of role in the religion. It appealse to everyone and not to one particular class.
