Summary/Abstract: It is widely known that humanity is going through a period of rapid transformation, of amazing progress. The progress of science and technique is the most obvious, and it influences every sector of human life. Science goes deeper and deeper into the knowledge of the world by discovering new laws, unexpected new energies. With the help of science, the technique places tools at man’s disposal, which help him master more and more the forces of nature; it places those forces in the service of the humanity. Our time is the time of the young. An old world crushes, while a new one is searching for its forms of life. Its pulse is beating in the veins of the young. It beats faster because of the anxiety, uncertainty, and the unknown. Undoubtedly, there is a gap between the old generation and the new one. The anxiety of the old generation transforms itself into sighs for the ending world. The restlessness of the new generation is represented by the hopes for the coming world. That is why the young represent today’s universal preoccupation. The states where social life searches more thoroughly its new location made this preoccupation their main issue. Obviously, nowadays’ children do not resemble the children that lived 40-50 years ago. If we were to establish on which mystery road the transformation had begun under our eyes, and how we the parents are and still remain unliable to our children, we would be too much into an insecure area, but which is suddenly enlightened by the Holy Scriptures by the indisputable sentence: “The fathers have eaten a sour grape and the children’s teeth are set on edge”.
