Nuyen, Anh Tuan – Environmental Education Research, 2008

In this paper I argue that while Confucian ethics cannot,…

Chen, Hsin-Jen; Wang, Ya-Hsaun – Educational Gerontology, 2012
Elder respect in East Asia has a long history that could be derived from Confucian philosophy. However, with the rapid development of westernization, younger people have gradually depreciated the value of elder respect and seek a reciprocal relationship with the elderly. A literature search revealed that age stereotypes would be both negative and…

Angle, Stephen C. – Social Education, 2010
There is ample evidence that Confucianism is undergoing a multi-faceted revival in contemporary China. This can be seen in government slogans, in a runaway best seller on the "Analects" (the compendium of Confucius's teachings), in educational experiments, and in academic activities. The twentieth century was a bad century for…
