Is Titanic more influence in education that family councils?
The film has a major influence in educating youth councils of parents or ethics classes at school, according says a study by the professor of Audiovisual Communication and Publicity of the University of Malaga, Alfonso Mendiz, which was submitted today as part of the Congress of the Family and Society being held until next Saturday at the International University of Catalonia (UIC).
Mendiz, who delivered the conference The influence of cinema in the family, explained that the film is "the most powerful learning experiences that we have" to the current "crisis in education and values" and "indifference or disorientation of older people. "
The professor pointed out that wherever the institutions that have sent tradicioalmente social attitudes and modes of behaviour "had been broken," the film takes on "greater importance as a source of ideas and patterns for life."
"The film is the one that says to young people how they should behave and act, what should be family relationships and dating, what happiness and personal failure", he stressed.
