Confucian principles emphasizing social harmony have historically shaped family roles, while filial piety demands respect and care for elders. These values impact everything from social hierarchy to intergenerational relationships.
The book traces the evolution of Korean family structures from the Joseon Dynasty to today, considering historical events like Japanese colonization and the Korean War. It explores how traditions have adapted to urbanization, globalization, and changing gender roles.
Each chapter builds upon core concepts, delving into family life aspects such as lineage, marriage, and the role of women, before analyzing the impacts of industrialization and urbanization.
Ultimately, Korean Family Values argues that traditional familial values still powerfully shape individual identity, social behavior, and cultural norms in Korea. Understanding this interplay between tradition and modernity is crucial for understanding contemporary Korean society, making the book valuable for cross-cultural communication and relationship building.
