Family and marriage in modern society are not as valuable concepts as before.But this does not mean that they are completely devalued, or disparage them as warranted values.It's no secret that every year the number of divorces is increasing in urban cities, and, on this basis, we can assume that our civilization has reached a stage where the marriage in the minds of many is not an end but a means.Since the goal - a sustainable concept that is rarely subject to change, and the funds - on the contrary, it is more convenient to change depending on the circumstances, this and emerges sad statistics: one marriage can easily be replaced by another, morality "no one is irreplaceable," also in this category, andthat children are growing up without a father or mother is, unfortunately, the norm of our time.
In order to clarify the situation and make the right conclusions, the basic functions of the family in modern times.
family in contemporary society, and reproductive function
essence of this function in procreation.To date, developed countries have a demographic problem.That strong marital ties can solve it when children are born in a family with an officially registered partnership.However, not all are able to contain a large number of children, due to which implemented the program of financial assistance to large mothers and fathers.Due to the drastic changes in the labor market, in the industrial and economic sectors, there is a decline in income for many people, it becomes an obstacle to the full implementation of family relations.Often, women must work alongside men, which leads to a decrease in the birth rate and the disintegration of the marriage bond.The most common problems of the family in contemporary society is caused by the lack of opportunity to have children (for financial reasons or because of health problems) or their reluctance, which is based on the psychological fears.
also prevents the implementation of the reproductive function of the family early marriage in which the couple still do to some extent in need of support and protection as well as children.The problems faced by today's youth, and so are quite complex, and when the young family is faced with additional, in the form of conducting life and financial issues, then surely it sometimes provokes a divorce, if the people are not satisfied with the role of dependents or if it is for themsimply unacceptable.
also to the problems of the reproductive function is the question of illegitimate children, many of whom are sent to the home of the baby due to the fact that mothers are unable to contain their own.
family in modern society and educational function
family in perfect understanding associated with stability.That is why it is (again, ideally) a guarantor of good offspring that grow in good conditions under the supervision and protection of their parents.With the advent of government, the legislative framework also includes a number of rights and duties of devoted marriage ties that provide a decent living to children born in the family.
If people constantly changed marriage partners, the children are born in these relationships, it would be much harder to get stronger because of the lack of support of a parent.Unfortunately, in today's society, this phenomenon has become increasingly common.
Realization of educational function is complicated by the fact that in most modern households partners usually are, but women bear more responsibilities because of the need to earn money and raise children at the same time together with the conduct of everyday life.
even worse when children are left on their own because of the constant employment of parents.
family in contemporary society and reconstructive function
Many experts are of the opinion that marriage is half the success in his career.Because people - a social being, and he needs to share their experiences, ask for advice, it means that it is very important when there are those who are willing to support in difficult times and with whom a trust relationship.
family in today's society, fortunately, is still fully performs this function in most cases.Few agree to enter into marriage with those to whom he does not trust or do not need it.
Yet, there are several challenges faced by the family, by implementing this function.They are connected with a common culture of family relationships that create the harder than the prevalence in society baser values, encouraging the constant change of partners, proclaiming the money as the main value of life, from which suffer as a woman, punch in feminism and men, who fear that theby their partners need only the "main" value.Certainly in this case, humanity and morality are able to make well-developed from a family of strong, cohesive group unit of society and decent without abandoned children and single mothers.
