RICAS, Janete; DONOSO, Miguir Terezinha Vieccelli  y  GRESTA, Mona Lisa Maria. The violence in the childhood like a cultural matter. Texto contexto - enferm. [online]. 2006, vol.15, n.1, pp. 151-154. ISSN 0104-0707.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0104-07072006000100019.

This paper is about how the several cultural patterns and prevailing customs at different times impose on children realities that are sometimes unfair. The authors consider that the family model is socially constructed based on some beliefs which then result in some situations that can be characterized as violence. Finally, the authors suggest that the culture needs to be shared in harmony among the various social actors, rather than being preserved in an arbitrary way.
