Religiosity and Marriage. Family Attitudes in Croatia

Abstract

AbstractContemporary Croatian society is created within the specific context of different sociocultural, political, economic and other processes. One of the important factors in constituting contemporary social relations in Croatia was also the period of socialism and the rule of the communist ideology, from 1945 to 1990, generally referred to as the “communist period”. Perhaps the key consequence of the “communist period” is the dissolution of the system of norms and values which contributed to the creation of anomie as a prevalent state of contemporary Croatian society. The assumed anomie as the dominant condition of contemporary Croatian society does not of course imply an absolute absence of norms, but rather their social insignificance. Such condition does not only open up the question about the reality of democratic changes, but it also presents the need for a clear consideration of the foundations on which contemporary social relations in Croatia are built.KeywordsMonthly IncomeReligious ServiceChurch AttendanceCroatian PopulationAdequate AnswerThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
