3. In the West we tend to separate good and evil. We believe there

are good guys and bad guys or good actions and bad actions. The

Chinese through the notion of Yin/Yang don’t believe we can

separate Good and Bad so easily. They see them as interrelated. In

other words nothing is all “good” or all “bad” but is in some sense

both. What do you think of these two differing views? Give

reasons to support your answer.

4. Choose something else in the chapter on Taoism that caught

your attention that hasn’t been brought up in these questions. State

what it is and why you chose it. Give reasons to support your view.

Don’t forget to respond to two of your classmates’ postings

for each question (four in total). They must be at least
