A STUDY ON THE PERCEPTION OF CONFUCIANISM CULTURE BY CHINESE MARRIAGE MIGRANT WOMEN FOCUSING ON THE FILIAL DUTY

The purpose of this study is to examine how marriage migrants perceive the culture of filial duty in Korea in comparison to the culture of their home country. We selected nine Chinese marriage migrant women and had in-depth interviews with them for two months, from March, 2014 to May, 2014. The contents of the interview were analyzed into the following classifications, based on the three fundamental principles and the five moral disciplines in human relations: (1) There should be affection between father and son (2) Husband and wives should maintain distinction and (3) Elders first. These results will contribute first, in the opportunity to look into the actual family life of marriage migrant women and second, in the supply of data for the sake of composing a filial duty education program for marriage migrant women in Korea.
