Family relationships in Algerian society between traditional assets and technologicalmodernity

Abstract

Family relationships in Algerian society are categorized by simplicity, as
relationship between parents and children was symbolized by the character of mutual respect and appreciation, in addition to their contribution to the application and
consolidation of family values; however, these values have changed due to the new technological modernity, which is considered as double-edged weapon, seeing that it
increases closeness of people, raises the degree of their interaction and creates new virtual relationships. On the other hand, it constitutes a real danger to social and family
relationships, as it leads to the creation of an intellectually and educationally discordant
society.

That's the change bears the factors of breaking with cultural traditions; in the light
of which, this results in changing the social value system of individuals, increases the desire and tendency for loneliness and isolation, and reduces, accordingly, opportunities
for realistic interaction and social dialogue within the same family.
