Modern day society has more in common with Taoism. The ideas that modern society really follow are to keep order and let things come to you to seize. Modern society kind of follows the other two ideas. There is not that much Confucian ideas in todays society anymore. People now a days don't respect their elders that much anymore. People are also definatly not humble and honest anymore. Everybody now a days likes to brag and show off. Also everybody lies, to get out of trouble usually but they usually fall into a deeper hole. Now a days keeping order is really big. Everything from households to governments do everything to keep order even if they do it in immoral ways. An example is governments bribing or threatening resistance or groups of any kind to get them to stop. Also order is kept through lies as well. Another example is in some households strict punishment is used. The other thing is that not very many people take action. People just wait around before it is too late to take any action.
