Confucianism+vs+Taoism+Debate

Hi guys:

On Thursday at the beginning of double block, we will have a debate on the following topic:

Resolved: "Taoism and Confucianism were compatible philosophies in ancient China"

You will be assigned to a team. You will research about the philosophies. You will prepare to argue for or against the statement. We will flip a coin at the beginning of class to determine which side of the argument you will take in the issue. Each person must find one distinct source on each philosophy. For each source, provide approximately 1/2 page of notes as summary / explanation. Post your source and your summary to the pages below.

The following links from Mr. Albritton are relevant to both philosophies:
