La Metamorfosis, su relación con valores y antivalores en la educación actual.

Abstract

Values are fundamental in the formation of every person because they regulate behavior and are associated with the development of skills, however, it is evident that their practice has decreased considerably. This research is carried out with the objective of analyzing the novel The Metamorphosis by Kafka and its relationship with values and anti-values in the El Porvenir Educational Unit in ninth grade "B". The Metamorphosis addresses how values can be affected by social pressure and many times the inability to accept differences. The teaching of values is related to the environment in which students develop and the role they play in society. This paper analyzes the Theory of Utilitarianism developed by Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill, given that the main character sacrifices his own interests for the welfare of his family. This study is framed under the qualitative approach and is of a descriptive-explanatory type because it seeks to recognize the educational values and anti-values promoted in modern society. In addition, it uses the interview as a technique for collecting information. Among the results obtained after applying the instruments, it has become evident that the family plays a crucial role in the education and formation of children and adolescents regarding the teaching of values. One of the conclusions reached by this research is related to the capacity of The Metamorphosis to provoke deep reflections on the human condition.
