Xingjie/ Are asian family values the future?

I agree with Wen Rui viewpoint on why asian family values are not the future for the entire world. She listed some rather vaild reasons on why asian family values are not the future for the entire world.

First, she talked about how Asian family values such as different generations living together are changing too and hence why Asian family values are not the future for the entire world as asian values are also being eroded in today's world partly due to rapid development and advances.

Secondly, she highlighted that both Asian and Western families did share these similar values. She pointed out that values of ‘ older ones nurturing the new ones, with the young in turn caring for the elders’ are not classified as only the Asian family values as the Western families do also value them and that such values highlighted in the article are actually values which people of all cultures,religion and race value.

However, i feel that there are some asian family values that are the future for the world which Wen Rui failed to highlight.

One such value is the value of filial piety which is greatly unique to asians. In asian societies, filial piety is one value which familes today still uphold. Filial piety generally means to be good to one's parents and to take care of one's parents in return for the love, care and concern which one's parents provide when one is young.

Filial piety is thus one asian family value which can help to enrich society. Filial piety can also help create a stable society whereby parents would provide for their kids needs and in return, when the parents grow old, their kids would provide for their needs.
