The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although you forgot to attach the options for this question we can say the following.

Confucius taught that people should follow two basic principles in their lives. The two principles were "concern for others and acting appropriately."

Confucious established some other principles in ancient China, but his philosophy could be well resumed in the concern for others and acting appropriately.

Confucious taught people to led by example, be humble, and acting taking into consideration the necessities of all. An important component of this was to do the right thing, no matter the circumstances.

These Confucianists principles have total application in modern times and had passed the test of time. Even more during these times in which materialism and consumerism have permeated the structure of modern society.
