CHALLENGES AND NOVELTIES IN THE CONTEMPORARY FAMILY SPHERE
CHALLENGES AND NOVELTIES IN THE CONTEMPORARY FAMILY SPHERE

Summary/Abstract: I consider it important to bring up how in contemporary society, the family remains one of the well-rooted realities, but which adapts to new social trends. The notion of "family" is in the process of evolving, and it is clear that this institution has undergone many transformations over the centuries. In fact, it is known that this institution enjoyed a series of defining elements that encompass the notion of family (children, household, protection, safety, affection, interaction, intimacy, moral values), but they are not always found together; Given the fact that there are changes in family members, a reorganization of each member's activities highlights an individualistic approach with different opinions about how the family is perceived today. Social transformations cannot remove the institution of the family, but add new perceptions of the forms of coexistence in the world. The fact is that only the shape of the nuclear family is changing, but not entirely. The institution of the family cannot disappear, but is in a process of adapting to the new social circumstances that value new technologies, for example, the media or social networks.
