Family Interrelations Caused by the Technical-scientific Revolution
Abstract
Postmodernism was marked by the tendency of redefining family, resizing of its role, but also by the apparition of many mutations at the level of people organizations or relations between the family members. As a complex institution that has its activity in a space merely exposed to changes and to pressures, family has the capacity to influence political decisions, both in the social sphere, but also in the educational and economical one. The changes caused by the technological era have also caused modifications related to the family, at many levels: the determinations of it, the modalities of its foundation, but they have also changed some of the regularities that are governing the function and the inter-relationships and the between its members. Technology, the IT systems (Internet, on-line communication, smartphone and s. o.), have generated multiple possibilities of knowledge and inter-relationship, of accessing and distribution of information, and they have encouraged the free expression of opinions, feelings and emotions. In one informational society like the today's one, accommodation and re-modulation processes are self-imposed; from there we have the necessity for long-live learning, of self-education. Personal development, as self-success is dependent by family life, values and by the type of relations promoted by them.
