I have been together with a Brazilian woman for 15 years. Over the years I have seen her watch Brazilian telenovelas. What stood out for me is the intense drama in many of the telenovelas. I came to understand this is true for telenovelas in other Latin American countries as well. But maybe not all poeple will agree with me on that point.

What do I mean with intense drama? Screaming mostly. You don't see that as much in European or American tv shows or soap series. An example of what I mean, maybe extreme, not sure; (3) Telenovela with English Subtitles - YouTube

My question though is: Do you think this influences the behavior between men and women in a relationship? Normalizing the screaming and drama in a relationship.

To give you some background about me, I'm a Belgian. I have lived in Europe all my life. Visited Brasil severel times and I speak a bit of Portuguese.

Thank you
