Abstract

Family studies, from the different perspectives analysed here, do not only show us the importance ofkinship in subjects' social relations and in their construction of identity. They also indicate how, in societies defined as modernized –where the States are onlyinterested in achieving an economic change and inaccess to new technologies, forgetting the social, political or philosophical issues that characterize modernity– the greater men's individualism in their actionsis, the greater is women's subjection to the group. Inthese societies, the "authorization" that the community gives to men to act in relation to their personalinterests "hardens" the position of women who must,in relation to their well-being, maintain a communitysocial order symbolized by the good family andguarded by a public opinion that limits their capacityto act as individuals.
