다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

As we move into the modern era, rapid changes have occurred through industrialization, scientification and informatization as Western ideas have flooded into Korea, while our lives have become very convenient and advanced. However, our perception and values regarding the filial piety culture are diminishing. The upright values necessary for this age can be found in the traditional cultural ideology of ‘filial piety’ that is deeply rooted in the Korean ancestry. Rooted in the Korean filial piety culture, it is a diachronic value that spans from several thousand years ago to the modern era, and it is embraced by all religions, including Confucianism, Buddhism and Christianity.
Filial piety is the respect for parents, affection between siblings, harmony between the family, and furthermore, consideration and love for others. The disappearance of our traditional culture of filial piety is linked to the loss of character education, causing juvenile delinquency to increase and aggravate each year. This phenomenon is fundamentally a result of poor filial conduct education, which causes broken families, increase of elderly people living alone and the dishonour of the highest suicide rate of the elderly in OECD countries. This is because of the failure of domestic upbringing, school education and social education, and poor national education policies. One of the best ways to solve teenager issues that are worsening each day is to link parental education at home with school education, and to emphasize character education and the ideology of filial piety, which is the root of school education and social education. To restore the reversed values and to heal this sick society, where the foundations of education have been forgotten and the morals and ethics have disappeared, social education must develop filial piety education programs suitable for the growth of teenagers, and to implement filial piety cultural education as a national policy. Therefore, more than any other national policy, it is of upmost urgency to have people recognize the importance of filial piety culture and filial piety education, and to reestablish a new paradigm of character education.
To accomplish this goal, we must draw up measures to reorganize ethics in the home, school and society by balancing traditional filial piety education and character education for the effective implementation of traditional filial piety culture and filial conduct education.
The purpose of this study is to strongly argue that filial piety education should be consistent in the home, school and society for correct filial piety culture education that is absolutely beneficial to teenage education, and that school education and social education should be linked by national policy.
