SSWH2C. What choice best describes the point Confucius is making in the source below?
Ziyou (a disciple of Confucius) asked about filial
piety. The master said: "Nowadays people think
they are dutiful sons when they feed their
parents. Yet they also feed their dogs and horses.
Unless there is respect, where is the difference?"
-Confucius, Analects 2.7
O There is more to showing respect for elders than merely feeding them.
O People should be just as respectful to animals as they are to people.
O Horses and dogs should be revered and respected in society.
O The people in his day were very respectful and embraced traditional Chinese values.
