because we notice some macho attitudes in children and these are attitudes that are acquired in
the home.

Stefano: What do you mean miss?

Miss Alva: Sometimes parents make children think they are the kings of the house and that the
women are there to serve them and they are there to command. On the contrary, they must be taught that the
women and men are equal and that neither is above the other.
Stefano: But I think that the man is the one who is in charge in the house.

D Miss Alva: It is not like that, the man must respect the woman and give her place, and the woman must
E demand respect and not allow oneself to be mistreated.

S
Stefano: It's okay, I understand, we will try to educate our children better.
