Task 4- Reading of Text …………………………………………………… LM page 527-229 “The Changing Morals of Korean Students” By Kim Gil It is well known that Korea’s traditional morality has been strongly influenced by Confucianism centered around the family. On the other hand, today’s Korean student has the preconceived notion that Confucian moral philosophy is “obsolete” and that the family-first trend should also be drastically revised. However our survey on the students’ moral views unexpectedly shows that they are conservative and that they are actually not dare deny parental merits of his duty to support his parents in their old age. It is difficult, based on man’s behavior, to conclude that he takes more care of his parents than he does of his wife and children. Thirty years ago the young Korean man not only thought he did but actually he did care for his parents more than his wife and his children. But the actual behavior of today’s young man shows he is not so strictly bound by his moral obligations even though he continues to think he is. a. According to the modern Korean students, what should be drastically revised? b. Why do you think Korean students want to revise such ritual? The Korean college student agrees in principle with filial duty on the one hand but on the other hand, he is not blindly devoted to his parents as Confucian morals would dictate. Instead, he believes that impractical elements should be eliminated from the traditional notion of “Filial duty.” For instance, the average Korean does not think it is right to sacrifice the freedom of his children for the sake of filial duty or to abandon an opportunity to study abroad in order to take care for his parents, and he does not agree with the unscientific notion that failure to produce male children is contrary to filial duty. In the matter of marriage, today’s Korean youth trespass the original notion of Confucian filial duty in that they believe that the final decision concerning marriage should be made by the couple involved. c. What are the ideas of the Korean students about filial duties? d. What is the attitude of the Korean students towards the concept of Marriage? Funeral and memorial services for one’s parents and grandparents are extensions of the Confucian concept of filial duty. However, few students call for the total abrogation of such ritual but many favor shortening the traditional three-year period of mourning and abandoning the custom that prescribed “circumspection in penance for sins” (the death of parents was traditionally attributed to the sins of sons and daughters). This is interpreted as meaning that students reflect common sense that ritual should always befit the social, and particularly the economic realities of society. e. For Korean students, what ritual should be totally abrogate or stop? f. Why do you think so? It is probably in sex that Korean students have managed to free themselves completely from the traditional moral code: As the old saying: “Boys and girls cannot sit in the same place after they turn seven” indicates. Confucianists were most strict concerning sexual morals. Such a conservative opinion has been maintained according to the letter but it has undergone such drastic changes that in actual practice few take feudalistic sexual morals with question. Some thirty years ago, It was commonly considered “bad” for a student to befriend a girl, but few retain such an attitude nowadays… Although the opinions on sexual morals are said to be quite free from tradition they are still conservative in comparison to their Western counterparts. For instance, Korean students do not think it is good to have premarital sexual relations. g. What was the idea of the Korean students about sexual morals? h. Are they still the same today? We can draw the conclusion that Today’s Korean college students don’t desire to adhere blindly to the Confucian tradition concerning morals nor does he want to abandon traditional entirely…
As for political matters, Korean students appear to have inherited, at least partially the Confucian ideal of rule by virtue and favor, a form of democracy based on the teachings of Mencius… It is thought that the reasons why students still pay respect to the political ideas of Confucius and Mencius is, more often than not, that they believe man’s inherent noble spirit is in conformity to rule by virtue and democracy.
Due to that fact that Confucian political ideology is founded upon feudal society. It is something different from modern democratic ideas, for it allowed good intentioned dictatorship… They are very skeptical about formal democracy or sham democracy which brings only hardship. i. In terms of political matters, to whom the Koreans align their philosophies? Why? It may be common to all people of all ages that there is a gap between what one thinks and what he actually does, but such gap appears to be unusually wide in the Korea of today. It is indeed, one of the most important tasks people in a new age face to endeavor to narrow the gap between ideas and actions; in some cases the idea must be changed and in others the action must be geared in another direction; herein lies the urgent need to establish a new morality with which our actions can be accord. j. What is the essay about? k. Why do you think it is entitled “The Changing morals of Korean students”? l. Compare the Korean’s opinions with the opinions of the Filipinos in terms of old belief?
