Family Values Modernization and Globalization

Abstract

The inevitable result of the serious economic and social changes taking place worldwide over the past few decades is the transformation of socio-cultural values, including family values. The family, being a part of society, reflects its characteristics. In recent years, many researchers have discussed the crisis facing the modern family: a high divorce rate, few or no children, and a decline in family values. It is noted that the most important values for young people are developing their personal and professional qualities and achieving social success. The nature of family values is also changing. The psychotherapeutic function plays an important role in the modern young family. Young people living in the modern, dynamic world experience excessive emotional overload, and they need to find peace, understanding, and support within their families. Family values affect the well-being of marital relations. They determine the importance of aspects of family life for partners. In accordance with the scale of family values, one or another family function comes to the fore in the family's chain of activities - the birth and upbringing of children, the organisation of household life, etc.; this is commonplace.
