What is the main differences between Socrates and Confucianism?

Their main perspectives on life and death etc.

That's a toughie. We're talking apples and oranges here.

Socrates thought that rational inquiry was the basis of philosophy. By asking questions, one could debunk the myths of society and free oneself of them. The idea would be to find an accepted truths (Say about the Gods) and see if one couldn't find something contradictory in what was being said (Skepticism).
Confucius, on the other hand, had more respect for society's norms. It's what he called 'ritual'. To Confucius, it's not as much whether a belief is true that's important, but whether it serves society well. Generally speaking, a belief, or custom, serves society well if it makes people filial (has respect for parents and ancestors), frugal (as opposed to pretentious or greedy), pious (has respect for the symbols of society).
Socrates was more a personal thinker while Confucius was more interested in organizing societies. In fact, Socrates, in the Republic, states that the perfect government will probably never be achieved on earth, but that the philosopher, in his personal life, strives to achieve an ordered state within himself, teaching by example if you will.
That's pretty much what I can come up with from the top my head. It's an interesting question.

OMG that was my homework tonight! Irony! Socrates was more of a skeptic of his govt (and was forced to suicide b-c of it) where as Confucius supported the theory of strong leadership beg getting strong followers. I don't know about their views on life and death. But Socrates in the least, was more into nature than Confucius. They both really only focused on living an earthly life and improving the soul. I'm in AP, I should know more than this, but I don't, sorry. I'd give my 10 Pt's to the 1st guy, he was on the ball.

Socrates was a man and Confucianism is a moral and religious system of China
