NUCLEAR FAMILY AND CHILDREN AT RISK

Summary/Abstract: The nature of modern society implies a constant process of transition and adaptation, considering both the individual and the groups as a whole. As the individual changes, traditional values also change; what was once unthinkable is now a reality. The modern family is visibly changing its role, primarily due to the constant race against time and desires, work commitments, followed by the intention of creating leisure time, while consciously or unconsciously neglecting the obligation to their children. Thus, the young person is in a process of "constant learning" how to behave in the immediate environment, what is acceptable and what is not. He learns from his family, school, the media, but also from his peers. Although globalization has led to rapid technological development, it has not solved the problem of juvenile delinquency. In this theoretical-empirical study we are focusing our intention towards the change in the value system of the adolescent/high school student. Simultaneously we are analyzing the clash of the value systems of formal education and its "antipode" the internet and social networks. Competence in society, in every evolutionary form, is becoming stronger, the socially desirable values and targets are higher and more unattainable for a portion of the young population especially children at risk . We analyze the moral deficit in adolescents from the perspective of the Strain theory and the Anomie theory, which is also elaborated with an empirical study. I also dwell on formal education in the context of creating a moral system in a young person, as well as detecting the role played by mass media and peer groups in the rejection of traditional values.
