The schooling of today is not true human education in the Western or Korean society. Therefore, we have to learn our traditional filial piety cultures. Because, in Korean society, filial piety is both the ethically important and serves as a foundation of new application of our values and identity conforming to the new ages. The practice and realistic application of filial piety as how to do filial piety and how to practice filial piety are more important than the question why do we do filial piety or what is the basic principal of filial piety. Filial piety is emphasized not just because it is inherent in Korean traditional cultures but because it serves as the basis for the desirable development of Korean society now and in the future. In fact, filial piety has tremendous universal value. Filial piety should not only be theory, it should be an everyday practice. It is important to understand and practice the method and reason of filial piety. Therefore, filial piety should not be limited to family ethics, but should be extended to all communities and to all races of the world. Systematic social and governmental efforts are needed to strengthen filial piety, social services should be reinforced to realize filial piety. Koreans are seriously concerned about the present state of Confusion in their value system due to overwhelming influence of the Western culture and the rapid changes of society. In order to be born as a leading country in the global age, it is urgently required of us to initiate new method of national and value education by reinforced to realize filial piety.
