DISCOURSE ON IDEAL FAMILY AMONG GENERATION Z IN FAMILIES EXPERIENCING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

Abstract

This study aimed to explore the discourse on ideal families and partners among Generation Z members from families experiencing domestic violence. A qualitative method was employed, with informants drawn from Generation Z in families experiencing domestic violence. The study revealed that Generation Z holds discourses on ideal families and partners, which are described as families that respect each other’s rights and obligations, create happiness, accept partners as they are, and foster a loving attitude. This study concludes that the discourse on ideal families among Generation Z is influenced by social media, which plays a significant role in their daily lives. Discourse on ideal family and partner in Generation Z women focuses on aspects of economics, psychology, gender equality, comfort, partner support and independence. In contrast, Generation Z men focus on comfort, career support and personal development without reducing emotional closeness.
