Summary/Abstract: Conflict is a divergence of opinions which, as such, generates an emotional alteration in turn arising from a clash of mutually antithetical views. (Bonfanti, 2011). I decided to start from this definition to emphasize how much, within a conflict situation, whether it be work or family, the factors in the field concern both the cultural aspect of a person and the emotional one. Speaking of conflict, therefore, without taking into account the socio-cultural substratum in which it has its roots, inevitably involves an emptying of those which are the fundamental ingredients of any type of relationship. As already mentioned in previous chapters, the socio-cultural transformations that have occurred in recent decades have led to a complete redefinition of the roles that men and women respectively cover during their lives. In fact, in the era of modernity, many of the roles that had been at the basis of society for decades were gradually overturned.
