In this I am going to focus on topic”Role of family in civil society”. Family plays the top priority in growing, caring and educating children. During a long period of time it was proved that undoubtedly family is the nucleus of society. The state tries to protect families, but anyway every year more and more people go abroad in order to make money for their living. These people, of course, have only intention, but they do not realize that being far from the family there appears a big gap between parents and children. The biological function of family can be influenced in a certain amount by society. The growth of popu¬lation depends directly on economical structure of the society, on different social organizations and on the society policy on birth rate. Here we can underline thet some countries have a policy of stimulating the birth rate, while others try to slow the population growth. In all times family has played a very important role in children’s education. The purpose of the family education is to create a personality with a versatile and harmonious development. Parents are obliged to grow up their children, taking care of their health and physical development, of their education, studies and professional training according to children’s abilities, in order to develop a personality useful for the society. The state adopts laws and appoints certain state organizations to ensure, regulate and check the educa¬tional process in families.
