In the modern world protecting the right to life encounters various obstacles. Personalistic ethics encouraging attitudes pro vita is also taking the dialogue with contemporary philosophical and political currents, including those that do not accept the integral concept of man, but rather they are in favor of his reductionist vision, which in turn it lead to reduced ability to protect human rights, despite their proclamation as the rights of individuals. Appearing in this position „anthropological error”, it also leads to a reductionist vision of social structures such as family, society, nation or state. Moreover, such a vision of man and the world around him, it also determines the constitutional dimension of the state. Consequently, this leads to the creation and operation of various forms of democracy that instead create conditions for legal protection of the right to life from conception to natural death, legalize abortion and euthanasia. This is a serious contemporary threat to the right to life.

Nowadays, we are dealing with a large wave of emigration from Poland. Two factors contributed to this: the high unemployment rate in Poland at the turn of the last centuries and the ease of movement of individuals and groups after Poland's accession to the European Union. The overlap of these two factors meant that many Poles, not infrequently fathers or mothers of families, made decisions about finding a job outside the borders of their homeland. Although economic emigration contributes to improving the conditions of the family's existence, which is undoubtedly its positive effect, it nevertheless has many negative consequences: social, environmental, psychological... If emigration disturbs the system of family functioning, there is a need for broadly understood support of the emigrants' families in order to minimize its negative effects. It is primarily about support that maintains social relations that take a specific form in the family and without which the family becomes dysfunctional. The most important entities that provide such support are: the closest family, state institutions, religious organizations.
