Today
it is not complex to detect a great fragmentation of the fields of experience,
which translates into the diversity of languages and symbolic codes, and in the
multiplicity of evaluation criteria with which one approaches the study of the
surrounding reality. A fragmented situation, therefore, that characterizes
relationships within modern family models. The family, in fact, currently
understood as continuity, assumes all the contradictions of contemporaneity,
from the weakening of bonds to relational discontinuity, up to existential
fragmentation and the lack of sufficiently solid and shared models of
reference. What value can we recognize today to the family institution and what
characterizations characterize what in pedagogy we consider the first educational
agency?
