Santina Carrozza
The family is the primary educational agency in the links of inequality and equal power with a specific and decisive training character, both for the children and for all members. In the Western world, despite various changes that have occurred over time, the family remains of fundamental interest in the social context, as a place for satisfying primary needs and reproducing values to build one’s own identity. It is indisputable that for most human beings the family represents the first caress that welcomes in the world, in the gestures with which parents show their love, care for their creatures, console them in tears, On the other hand, the family is where the first education comes from. In light of all this, it is evident how vast and profound the influence of various family structures in the societies that have succeeded each other has been, and the existence of the family is at the origin of a wide area of the ethical-social consciousness of humanity. It is not by chance that the family is surrounded by extensive and intense manifestations of the human mind, such as literature, cinema and theatre. And indeed the cinema, literature, theatre have always been mirrors, if not even precursors, of times and society, and inevitably tell about identities and transformations.
