유교 효(孝) 윤리의 인성교육적 함의(含意)

Abstract

Today, most Koreans live in an infinitely competitive society that leads to university competition, job competition, and promotion competition, starting with attending private institutes competitively by their parents at an early age. A person who cares about competition is good at doing things alone, but it is easy to get stressed because he or she is tired of having relationships with other people. If the person is the more likely to be as such, he or she may feel the tiredness and emptiness in the relationships from the calculation of interest with others and there is few people around who can understand, trust, and open his or her mind. It is happiness itself to have people who believe in my position silently in the course of my life and unconditionally understand and accept it. It is more than better if they are your parents. The filial piety from that perspective is still valid today. The most effective way to have the experience that my heart and the other's heart are one is the filial piety through the love of parents. Children find their parents when they are in difficulties, and they get the stability and comfort of the mind and body through the warm encounters of their parents. For children, meeting with their parents is the last bulwark of happiness. Parents must be healthy so that their children can maintain their happiness from the perspective of children. The essential meaning of filial piety also begins here. Children who have experienced the benevolent love of parents will naturally reach out to their parents with the readiness of filial piety. As long as their filial piety towards parents is established, they will reach out to the brotherhood between the brothers and sisters through the parents, and the love for the people around them will also come out. Recently, the government has enacted laws to encourage and support filial piety in order to maintain the value of traditional filial piety and to create a social atmosphere in which children support their parents without neglecting them. If the law is enacted and enforced, and if the essential meaning of filial piety cannot be grasped properly, it can be abused to form or exploit for the sake of self-understanding, eventually leading to a lack of effectiveness. In this respect, it is raised that it is necessary to reexamine the implications and significance of character educational implications of ethics of the Confucianism filial piety.
