Sažetak
The article focuses on family virtues and human dignity. Researches from the U.S. cites that the most typical representation of the family involves three criterias including heterosexuality, the presence of marriage and the children. However, the world is undergoing huge changes, causing the people to cling to some element of the old that would offer stability and support in the face of the new. The author cites on the Croatian society which underwent transformation into a capitalist society with a market economy, thus endangering the family and enabling the younger generations to search for meaning of life in other quarters. Some voices within the Catholic Church began to associate the terminology of family values with the celebrations Easter and Christmas to recover family values.
