THE COMMUNITY PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE FORMATION OF IDENTITY AND CHARACTER, AND THE CHARACTERS THAT ARE MOLDED WILL DETERMINE THE FUTURE EXISTENCE OF THE COMMUNITY. TRADITIONALLY, RITES OF PASSAGE HAVE BEEN EMPLOYED TO INSURE THAT THE INDIVIDUAL WILL BECOME A LOYAL, RESPONSIBLE, AND PRODUCTIVE CITIZEN. HOWEVER, IN TODAY'S SECULAR DEMOCRACIES, WHERE VALUES IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE RELATIVIZED, MANY INDIVIDUALS ARE RAISED WITHOUT AN EQUIVALENT PASSAGE INTO RESPONSIBLE ADULTHOOD. TODAY'S SOCIETIES MUST LEARN WAYS TO ACCOMPLISH THE FUNCTION THAT RITES OF PASSAGE IN PREVIOUS SOCIETIES HAVE SERVED.

From the beginnig of the XVIIIth century to the middle of XXth one, many authors have reflexioned about the Spanish decadence in relation to modern Europe. The Decadence was converted in a topic of Spanish thought and influenced on the collective conscience about Spanish historical indentity from several points of view: the conscience of decadence in XVIIth century, the solutions of the Enlightenment and these of XXth-century liberal politicians and historians, ideological debates around the being of Spain between 1880 and 1940, the development of new interpretations since 1920 thanks to professional historians, finally the leaving of the concept of decadence as explicative key of the Spanish history. ; Muchos autores han reflexionado, desde comienzos del siglo XVII hasta mediados del XX, sobre las causas de la "decadencia" de España en el conjunto de la Europa moderna. La cuestión sobre la "decadencia" se convirtió en un tópico del pensamiento español e influyó en las tomas de conciencia colectiva sobre la identidad histórica de España desde distintos puntos de vista: la conciencia de decadencia en el XVII, las propuestas del Siglo de las luces y las de los políticos e historiadores liberales del XIX, los debates ideológicos en torno al ser de España entre 1880 y 1940, el desarrollo desde 1920 de nuevas interpretaciones por obra de historiadores profesionales, hasta concluir con el abandono del concepto de decadencia como clave explicativa de la historia de España.
