This sense of knowing exactly where you stand within a complex network of relationships, rights, and obligations pervades the Confucian cultural framework. A person's identity arises from his or her particular cluster of connections within the network: being a son or daughter, a parent, a student or teacher, an official or an employee. An individual's moral responsibility is to reconcile and balance these relationships for the well-being of the entire nexus.44
