SECURITY IN A FAMILY, A LONELY OLD AGE

Journal Title: Zeszyty Naukowe Wyższej Szkoły Humanitas w Sosnowcu. Pedagogika - Year 2017, Vol 15, Issue

Abstract

In a number of dictionaries and encyclopedias we can find dozens of definitions of security, ranging from national security to the safety of the family and the individual citizen. Without going into a deep analysis of these definitions, it can be certainly stated that security is an essential and timeless human value, or even ‘the good’ that determines a successful and happy life. Family safety, to the nineteenth century, was determined by its sense of togetherness. For such a group, the family tradition and the past were its roots, and the transmission of the family’s legacy to future generations was the essential condition for the family’s safety and survival. It also provided the care and the protection for the progenitor’s life. The transformation in the family, that was brought by the collapse of the feudal order, is the breakdown of the multi-generational family into the family of origin and procreation. The consequence of these changes is the fact that today’s old parents and grandparents are left on their own and have to lead lonely life outside the family.<br/><br/>
