People show filial piety in their daily actions for the most part. Some of these actions include helping with the housework, not causing them unnecessary trouble during school or work or even just by spending time with them.
We should accompany them when we have free time rather than doing our own stuff. We should not make our parents feel lonely as they work very hard to raise us to the best of their abilities so that we can become the best kind of person we can be. To not show any kind of filial piety to your parents is to show ungratefulness to the very people who gave you a home.

Some of them did not agree in putting their parents in retirement homes because they thought that it was unfair for them.

I refer to the Voices commentary "Rethinking what it means to be filial" (Apr 04). I agree with the author, Dr Jeremy Lim that we have to do what is best and right for our parents. However, it should be of mutual consent from both parties.

It is sad to see in Singapore that not all families have made plans for their parents when they get older. Often, the aged parents are left forgotten by their families or are being pushed to nursing homes. This is the reason why filial piety is a family's responsibility that they owe to their parents for supporting them all this time. As children, we need to reassure our parents that caring for them is the only way to repay them for their efforts in bringing us up.

Sometimes, we hear news reports of children and parents getting themselves in lawsuits due to their children challenging their parents' inheritance and will. Money is the root of all evil in this context and that money should not mislead us in the reason for caring of our parents.

Parents and their children have to know the situation at hand and think of a solution where the happiness and well-being of the parents are concerned. Institutional placement which is putting our parents in aged homes is seen as an "easy way out" or an excuse for children who do not want to accommodate their parents.

I feel that institutional placement can be a good alternative if it is temporary such as daycare facilities where the aged go to a community center for daily activities from morning to the evening before transportation is arranged to bring them home safely. At day care facilities, the aged are able to interact with others and also being looked after by healthcare professionals. This form of temporary placement is better for the aged as their needs are taken care of.

Filial piety is where children spend quality time with their parents to show them that they still appreciate and love them.Loneliness is not going to disappear with the popularity of retirement villages as children must still take responsibility and interact with their parents. A retirement village is just a nicer name for a nursing home as social interactivity and medical supervision is available but the presence of a loved one can never be replaced. Family is the most important thing in the world.

The concept of being filial as children is to take care of your parents in the best way possible until a certain time for medical reasons, and then a more permanent institutional care should be considered. Parents should be given the freedom to choose their options of either living with their children or independently. Children should evaluate the options to ensure that their parent's happiness and well-being comes first above other considerations.

Many children would insist that despite having to bear debts and the possibility of depleting their life-savings in caring for their aging parents, they still would to have fulfill their responsibility towards their parents. Perhaps, the government can look in providing subsidised healthcare aid in terms of medical care and caregivers to these families who are struggling in making the best out of their situation. More help and financial planning can be discussed with families who are trying to fulfill their roles as a dutiful son or daughter.

I hope that children see how much sacrifice that parents made when they were young and from there, their conscience should guide them to fulfill their parents' choices and still be responsible for caring and loving them unconditionally. Filial piety also should be instilled in children when they are young so that they know the importance and value of compassion and love unto others.

Seven cultures that respect their elders

Seven cultures that respect their elders

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Aging isn't just a biological process -- it's also very much a cultural one.

Different cultures have different attitudes and practices around aging and death, and these cultural perspectives can have a huge effect on our experience of getting older.

While many cultures celebrate the aging process and venerate their elders, in Western cultures -- where youth is fetishized and the elderly are commonly removed from the community and relegated to hospitals and nursing homes -- aging can become a shameful experience. Physical signs of human aging tend to be regarded with distaste, and aging is often depicted in a negative light in popular culture, if it is even depicted at all.

"There's so much shame in our culture around aging and death," Koshin Paley Ellison, Buddhist monk and co-founder of the New York Zen Center for Contemplative Care, told the Huffington Post. "People themselves when they're aging feel that there's something wrong with them and they're losing value."

Psychologist Erik Erickson argued that the Western fear of aging keeps us from living full lives. "Lacking a culturally viable ideal of old age, our civilization does not really harbor a concept of the whole of life," he wrote.
Here's what we can learn from other cultures, both past and present, about embracing the aging process. "Old man" isn't a bad word in Greek.
The Western cultural stigma around aging and death doesn't exist in Greece. In Greek and Greek-American culture, old age is honored and celebrated, and respect for elders is central to the family.

Arianna Huffington described an experience of Greek elderly respect in her book, On Becoming Fearless:

"Ten years ago I visited the monastery of Tharri on the island of Rhodes with my children. There, as in all of Greece, abbots are addressed by everyone as 'Geronda,' which means 'old man.' Abbesses are called 'Gerondissa.' Not exactly terms of endearment in my adopted home. The idea of honoring old age, indeed identifying it with wisdom and closeness to God, is in startling contrast to the way we treat aging in America."

Native American elders pass down their knowledge.
Though attitudes towards death in contemporary American culture are largely characterized by fear, Native American cultures traditionally accept death as a fact of life.

There are over 500 Native American nations, and each has its own traditions and attitudes toward aging and elderly care. But in many tribal communities, elders are respected for their wisdom and life experiences. Within Native American families, it's common for the elders to be expected to pass down their learnings to younger members of the family, according to the University of Missouri, Kansas City.
In Korea, elders are highly respected.
Much of the Korean regard for aging is rooted in the Confucian principle of filial piety, a fundamental value dictating that one must respect one's parents (although Confucius was Chinese, Confucianism has a long history in Korea). Younger members of the family have a duty to care for the aging members of the family. And even outside the family unit, Koreans are socialized to respect and show deference to older individuals as well as authority figures.

"Few of those who are filial sons and respectful brothers will show disrespect to superiors, and there has never been a man who is respectful to superiors and yet creates disorder," Confucius wrote in Analects. "A superior man is devoted to the fundamental. When the root is firmly established, the moral law will grow. Filial piety and brotherly respect are the root of humanity.

It's also customary in Korean to have a big celebration to mark an individual's 60th and 70th birthdays. The hwan-gap, or 60th birthday, is a joyous time when children celebrate their parents' passage into old age. The age is thought to be reason for celebration in part because many of their ancestors would not have survived past the age of 60 without the advances of modern medicine. A similar large family celebration is held for the 70th birthday, known as kohCui ("old and rare").
Chinese children care for their parents in old age.
As in Korea, Chinese families traditionally view filial piety and respect for one's elders as the highest virtue, deriving from the Confucian tradition. Although westernization has lessened the power of these values in some cities and communities, adult children are still generally expected to care for their parents in their old age.

"Placing your parents in retirement homes will see you labeled as uncaring or a bad son," Beijing resident Zhou Rui told China.org. "To abandon one's family is considered deeply dishonorable."

However, this tradition is beginning to break down in China, due to the country's one-child policy, rising life expectancy and an aging population. Nursing homes are beginning to become a more socially acceptable option for elderly care.
In India, elders are the head of the family.
Many Indians live in joint family units, with the elders acting as the head of the household. The elders are supported by the younger members of the family and they in turn play a key role in raising their grandchildren.

"Advice is always sought from them on a range of issues, from investment of family money to nitty-gritties of traditional wedding rituals and intra-family conflicts. And this is not just passive advice; their word is final in settling disputes," Achyut Bihani wrote in Slate. "The elderly are often the most religious and charitable members of the family."

Disrespecting the elders of the family or sending them to an old-age home has a social stigma in India, Bihani adds.
In the African-American community, death is seen as an opportunity to celebrate life.
In African-American culture, death is seen as part of the "natural rhythm of life," which lessens the cultural fear around aging. For this reason, Karen H. Meyers writes in The Truth About Death and Dying, "African-American funerals tend to be life-affirming and to have a celebratory air intermingled with the sorrow."
In ancient Rome, elders were a precious resource.
Though the average life expectancy in ancient Rome was around 25, some individuals did live into their 70s, and they were generally respected for their wisdom.

"The Romans made use of their elderly and had faith in their wisdom and experience," writes Dr. Karen Cokayne of the University of Reading, quoting Cicero as saying, "For there is assuredly nothing dearer to a man than wisdom, and though age takes away all else, it undoubtedly brings us that."

But Cokayne explains that older individuals had to earn that high status of respect by living a virtuous life.

"Wisdom had to be worked at -- by hard work, study and especially by virtuous living," writes Cokayne. "The old were expected to act with moderation and dignity, at all times. The old had to be an example to the young, as it was thought the young learned by example. This was ingrained in Roman society."
