PARADOXES OF “NECESSITY” AND “EXPEDIENCY” IN UPBRINGING OF CHILDREN IN THE CONTEXT OF GLOBALIZATION (BASED ON RESEARCH MATERIALS OF AZERBAIJAN)

Abstract

As a social unit of society, family integrates complex social phenomena. It reflects moral values, social and economic basis of society, its contradictions and development trends. In author’s opinion, at this conjuncture the educational process is at the crossroads. Because family has to make such a difficult choice: the future of society requires one thing, and everyday life, the realities of the day demand completely different, which the author calls “upbringing scissors” conditionally. Nevertheless, it is completely obvious that all spheres of activity can be rational and intensive only in the case when society forms a all-riund developed subject of social activity – “Person”. In this extremely important affair, a huge share of responsibility lies on a family, as a cell of society, because the family, as a “social cell,” carries contradictions, collisions and disharmony in society.The article analyzes the problems of family upbringing in modern conditions of Azerbaijani reality, with a special emphasis on the fact that at present the specific problems of the globalization process are imposed on the general historical process of family transformation in Azerbaijan, that is accompanied by significant changes in social relations and values.So, in the changed conditions of modern social practice, it is necessary to rethink the nature of family and marriage relations and issues regarding parenting, formation of modern concept of solving of this issue on the interdisciplinary basis that corresponds to today realities, the modern social policy of Azerbaijan. The harmonious and effective arrangement of society will largely depend on how optimally and interactively the apparent contradiction between these factors is solved.
