Page "Confucianism" Paragraph 86

In South Korea, there has been long criticism to Confucianism.

Many Koreans believe Confucianism has not contributed to the modernization of Korea.

For example, South Korean writer Kim-kyong-li wrote a criticism named " Must Kill Confucius, This Nation will be Solved " ( 공자가 죽어야 나라가 산다, gongjaga jug-eoya nalaga sanda ).

The writer said that filial relationships are one-side and blind.

He writes that if these circumstance continue, social problems will continue to be caused by society and the government forcing Confucian filial obligations onto families.
