Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to portray the influences of cultural processes on the professional and family life of the modern, Western societies. The text contains the review of the literature on the subject depicting the symptoms of reconciling career with family life. With reference to the analyses conducted by Erich Fromm and Theodore Brameld, a diagnosis of social conditions contributing to disorders of the work – family life balance is put forward. The summary embraces number of conclusions that should be addressed to the overall sphere of education. Consequently, the purpose of the teachers’ work should not exclusively concern relaying specialist knowledge to pupils whom which they teach, nor preparing young people to the work, as the key task is rather to „teach human beings how to be a man, how to reach the level of a complete, coherent personality at peace with others”. Thus, in order to support a well-balanced functioning of the society, education must have an effective influence on the process of establishing standards of the „art of being” in world of the daily life.
