Abstract :
The main purpose of this research is to address the changes that the family, which is seen as
the smallest unit of society, is experiencing today, and in particular the problems caused by
generational differences among family members, using the example of Generation Z. At the
same time, the most important dimension of this discussion, which constitutes the scope of the
study, is the disagreement and lack of communication, which is observed in general in
domestic relations and often between generations and in particular the changing family
perception of Generation Z and their problems with their parents. Interviews with 16 students
from 16 Faculties of Van Yüzüncü Y?l University constituted the sample of the study in order
to reveal both the perception of the mentioned generation towards the family and the
problems in family relations. The results of the interview were recorded on computer and
analyzed using descriptive analysis. The most important conclusion reached in the study was
that the perceptions, attitudes and behaviors of the generations who grew up in different
conditions differed, especially in their approaches to family values, and because of this
differentiation, the younger generations experienced serious problems within the family.
