Family in information culture: issues of parent-child relationships

This article explores the trends and contradictions in the development of family culture and familyhood in the information society of our time. It notes that the intensive development of virtual network communication and the acceleration of the pace of life are factors leading to profound changes in generational identity. The traditional format of the ethical structure of intra-family interaction between adults and children is undergoing significant transformations. The author considers the acquisition by parents and children of autonomous socio-cultural status and meaning to be conditioned by the period of the emergence of an industrial urban civilization.
