(a) confucius, (b) hanfeizi, (c) laozi.

a) Confucius, Confucianism

Confucius believed that an orderly society could be achieved by example. Confucius believed that if a ruler ruled by example and people didn’t do what they were supposed to do they would feel guilt and try to do the right thing. One of Confucius’s main beliefs was that all humans are good people on the inside, and to bring out the good you must lead by example. Confucianism’s main belief is filial piety (respecting your parents)

b) Hanfeizi, Legalism

Hanfeizi believed in legalism, legalism is the philosophy that all humans are evil on the inside, and to keep the evil chained down in the human there must be severe punishments. So for the legalists, in order to keep an orderly society you must punish people. Legalism also believed that power was a great virtue to rulers and that there should only be one ruler with all the power.

c) Laozi, Taoism

Taoism believed that everything must be peaceful and in synchronization with nature. People who believed in Taoism were extremely peaceful and the opposite of harsh. Taoism didn’t believe in punishment, it believed in being generous and treating nature well. Taoism also believes in sacrifice for the deceased.

Explanation:

Confucius- Confucius believed that a ruler should rule by virtue instead of strict laws, so that their subjects would have a sense of shame when wrong doing. He also believed that rulers should be well educated. "It is learning and practice that set them apart". According to Confucius everyone had their duties, or the five relationships; which states the status of people in society. (Father-son, elder brother-younger brother, ruler-subjects, husband-wife, friend-friend)- Five Relationships. He also put filial piety, or respect for parents. Confucius also believed in filial piety, which means respect to parents.

b) Hanfeizi- Hanfeizi believed that the nature of man is evil, and the only way to achieve an orderly society was to pass strict laws to oppress the evil in people. "His goodness is achieved". He believed that its strength, not goodness' was a leader's greatest virtue. According to the Legalists, neither the wisdom of ancient kings nor an ethical code would make a state strong. Instead "good" and "bad" were defined by whatever the self-interest of the ruler demanded.

c) Laozi- Laozi believed that Government was the cause of many problems, because those in authority are too fond of action. "The best Government was the one who governed the least". Taoism encourages its followers to act in "harmony with the order of nature"
