Abstract

Several American English publications in Republic of Korea in post-COVID 19 era since 2024 in the Journal of Confucian Philosophy and Culture led me to ponder on the applicability and relevance of Confucianism in the contemporary American life. Confucianism places more value on effort than talent so it is not as efficient  and productive tool when used as measuring factors pointing to advancement of human civilization. To this end this essay provides a brief analysis of Confucianism and Democracy embracing Capitalism in Korean communities, mainly in the Republic of Korea and the USA.
