| This paper attempts to analyze the Modernity and its impacts on family have been discussed for more than half a century. It is clear from the literature reviewed above that the road to modernity in each society may not be explained in the length of an article since it definitely affects our society in every aspect of human social life. As some social scientists have remarked, we connect changes in the family to the development of modernity because society is undergoing certain profound changes at least partly due to the rapid advancement of science and technology and increasingly fierce international competition between the strengths of nations. family system is founded on the concept that the older parents have enormous authority and power over other family members through control of land and property. However the status of elderly people tends to be declining in a modern industrial economic system, partly due to the loss of control over means of production and to changes in production methods. |
