TL;DR: In this article, the authors attempt to understand the structure of the Brazilian family, how it is impacted by, and impacts the country's culture, and how the previously cited relationship, and many others, can be investigated.
Abstract: ship with family structure has been producing many significant findings in the social sciences, particularly in social and organizational psychology. Apparently, the family structure and its relationship with variables, such as marital and parental relationships, child-rearing practices, and even people’s jobs or positions, are related to cultural aspects, which in turn, result in a different impact on people’s lives.

Then, we will discuss Brazilian culture in specific terms, bridging with sociological and psychological literature. Finally, we will present some information on

Juan Goytisolo believes that, "La omnipotencia de los medios de informaci?n de masas y la promotion de la mercancfa m?s zafia y vendible contaminan el campo critico al punto en que se confunde el valor de una obra con el griterio que se arma en torno a ella" (qtd. in "Cuestionario" 27).
