University of Notre Dame

English

Description:

Taught as "PS 610015" The U.S. is number one in its belief in the importance of the family and of family life; at the same time the divorce rate is the highest in the world and the dilemma of the family, its crisis, decline or even disruption are analyzed in hundreds of sociological or psychological investigations. Not surprisingly, therefore, family conflicts have also been at the center of a great number of plays and films. The course will start out from a socio-cultural definition of the state of the family in American society and then investigate a number of specific problems on the basis of selected works.
