THE FAMILY FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF GOOD. INFLUENCING THE SECURITY OF THE INDIVIDUAL AND SOCIETY THROUGH THE SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE GOOD
Journal Title: Forum Teologiczne - Year 2018, Vol 19, Issue
Abstract
This essay examines the problems of the family in the context of the possibility of goodness, which occurs in various forms in everyday life. The perception of responsibility for goodness has a positive effect on the security of the individual and society. The family as a specific social cell is concerned not only with the experience of freedom, but also with the shaping of responsibility on the individual and social levels. On the basis of this experience, the perspective of a good life is shown, which is also based on the authentic experience of love, happiness and holiness. When the family realizes its basic tasks, it clearly shows that it not only unites in itself different types of goods, which are necessary for the development of the individual and the society, but is also an irreplaceable good.
