Morality is an urgent and complex task of our society. In 2013, the Levada Center conducted a social survey in 45 regions of Russia. This experiment showed that since 2009 the spiritual and ethical categories in our country have dropped significantly. Among young people, the problem of irresponsibility and lack of hard work has increased.
The family is the primary and most significant factor in the formation of the moral values of every person. It transfers social experience, ethnocultural traditions from one generation to another. Thus, it makes a great contribution to the social and moral development of society.
Definition of the concept of morality and its importance in raising children
