Since Confucianism shaped and influenced Chinese society and cultural values, so main Confucian ideas on family leadership would be discussed in this first part. In particular, this part concentrates on the Confucian tradition on three relationships, i.e. the relationship between father and son, husband and wife, and younger and older brother. Then, the second part will discuss the prodigious changes that have taken place in Chinese society in the last century, with an analysis of the three stages or elements which brought about these changes. In the third and fourth part of this paper, I discuss the main factors of the new family leadership and its main challenges in the face of Christian values.", (p. 23, Introdution)Pages: 11engWith permission of the license/copyright holderleadershipfamily ethicsrelation(ship) parents-childcultureConfucian ethicssocietyChristian ethicsPolitical ethicsGovernance and ethicsCultural ethicsCultural/intercultural ethicsMethods of ethicsTheological ethicsCommunity ethicsLifestyle ethicsSocial ethicsFamily ethicsBook chapter
