The present situation of filial piety in today's society

Filial piety is one of the important values of China traditional culture, which emphasizes children's filial piety and respect for parents. However, in today's society, with the changes of society and the diversification of values, filial piety has been challenged and changed to a certain extent. The following are some current situations about filial piety in today's society:

1. Diversification of values: With the development of society, family structure and concepts have changed, and people's understanding and practice of filial piety are also diversified. Some people pay more attention to material filial piety and express filial piety by providing economic support and material welfare; Others pay more attention to emotional communication and care, and express filial piety by accompanying and caring for their parents.

2. Urbanization and population mobility: With the acceleration of urbanization, many young people leave their hometowns and stay away from their parents because of work and study, and the practice of filial piety may face certain difficulties. However, the development of modern technology and transportation also provides people far away from home with more communication and contact methods, such as telephone and video calls.

3. Changes in age structure: With the aging of the population, some young people need to take care of their parents and families at the same time, facing the dual pressures of work and family. This may lead to difficulties and challenges in the practice of filial piety, and it is necessary to find a suitable way to balance various roles and responsibilities.

4. Social support and welfare: The government and social organizations gradually strengthen their care and support for the elderly, and provide certain benefits and services to alleviate the pressure on children to take care of their parents. This also provides some support and help for the practice of filial piety.

Generally speaking, although filial piety faces some challenges and changes in today's society, it is still regarded as an important value and code of conduct by many people. Many people still try their best to be filial to their parents and find suitable ways to express filial piety under modern social conditions. At the same time, social care and support also help people to better perform filial piety to a certain extent.
