Rodzina jako wspólnota wychowawcza – przyczynek do analizy problemu

Abstract

The most natural environment for humans is family as a community of people connected by the relationship of marriage and/or parenthood. Family is a universal environment for all generations in which everyone can find their place. One of the primary functions of family is education, which assists one in growing in a particular society. The fundamental principle that underlies family life is mutual love, understood as care for the common good and, at the same time, the good of every person participating in the life of this group. The community is formed for the sake of the well-being of people and has a value in itself as a phenomenon of individual mutual interpersonal relationships, the ones coming “from the heart”. Family, as a community of people, is one of the most conducive environments for life and education. The contemporary changes in family life (including processes of individualisation, detraditionalisation, pluralisation) significantly change family as an educational community. Seeking and indicating such patterns, family life models, which significantly facilitate the upbringing of the people who are vulnerable and open to other people and their needs seems to be a necessary action to be undertaken.
