After reading The Superior Man, I think that our leaders should really listen to XVI.24 and XIV.29. XVI.24 states that the superior man is always moving forwards while the mean man doesn't move or moves backwards. This is very important because as a nation we want to continually move forward to become better. In XIV.29, the master talks about how the superior man lets his actions speak for him instead of his words. Meaning that he says one thing but then he makes sure that his actions follow them up. This is important in a nation because we need a leader that is going to do. a leader who just says things but doesn't follow up is someone who shouldn't be in charge.

They used the trade routes to exchange coins and silk. The Byzantines were trying to preserve the Greek learning by using their teachings. Charlemagne became the emperor of Rome in 800 and became in charge of rebuilding the empire.
