MONDAY 4th by Mona

In the afternoon the activity consisted of watching a movie, “Failure to lunch” which was showing exactly an intergenerational issue: a 35-year-old man living in the home of his parents , showing no interest in leaving the comfortable life his parents, especially his mother, have made for him there. The purpose of watching the movie, was to emphasize that there is not only the situation where two generations aren’t in contact, but also the one in which the bind is too strong, and at some point it becomes dysfunctional . While we were analyzing each character, we observed different features, characteristics of the individual personality that could improve or destroy certain relationships, including the intergenerational ones. I think that the group, especially the Social Education students at the beginning of the activity were a little bit confused because of the psychological approach of the theme and its importance, but in the end, they managed to take some relevant conclusion and acknowledge how important an interdisciplinary approach  in every topic is .
