Importance of Family There is a strong family bond between
members. Family is the social norm, not the individual.
Respect for Elders The elder members of South Korean families
are held in high respect. The respect is held in high esteem in
society. Elders often give advice, and the young
individuals should follow that advice. The past three generations of ancestors are
celebrated on certain holidays: Thanksgiving and the date the relative past away.
Family Hierarchy Patriarchal Women: domestic work Men: outside the house work Strict gender roles (Confucianism): “the system of ethics, education, and
statesmanship taught by Confucius and his disciples, stressing love for humanity, ancestor worship, reverence for parents, and harmony in thought and conduct.”

Parent/ Child The child is expected to obey his/ her
parents. Children must repay their parents for raising
them, by looking after their parents forever. The child’s body is the “legacy” of their
parents. Children must not harm their bodies: ex.) cutting hair
Family Table Elders are seated first, and can choose
where the rest of the family members sit. Watching TV during meals is considered
disrespectful. Pointing chopsticks is disrespectful.
