Sažetak
Upbringing is today a rather complex topic, since it includes the issue of the notion of upbringing in general and involvement of many factors, such as: parents; pre-school institutions; schools with their educational programmes and teachers; and other social factors, including not only public, but also private media. Throughout history, the institution of marriage and family used to be set aside, made private and something of no great importance for the nation, the society, the state, and consequently the mankind in general. European civilization has been consistently belittling the institution of marriage in its original, natural sense; this has led to the weakening of the family, and eventually to the dissolution thereof.
The author stresses the tendency towards a certain type of radicalisation, present in Europe in general and in Croatia in particular, which has come down to the term of secularism, i.e. displacing all things religious from both the social public domain and the social educational institutions.
In these extremely turbulent times as concerns marriage and family, we should stay aware of the fact that it is the family that is the primary, natural and basic society, with its original and individual rights and obligations. It hence stands in the centre of any society’s sense of being, living and surviving. It is the quality of marriage, family, and the general and religious family upbringing that counts.
It seems that by taking this into accout, European and Croatian society might redeem their health in certain aspects.
