    La siguiente presentación encarna una investigación sobre un tema poco investigado, pero muy presente en la vida cotidiana, el sindrome postvacacional. En forma reciente observa como muchas personas caen en casos de depression y adquieren otros sintomas que alertan a familiares. Se ha observado una correlación entre la tasa de divorcios y las vacaciones que merece ser estudiada. Según los estudiosos de este syndrome, las expectativas de las vacaciones son tan grandes que, al retorno es dificil compaginarlas con la vida cotidiana. Según esta teoría, los divorcios serían resultado de la converncia entre expectativas muy altas sobre el destino soñado, con desequilibrios de naturaleza interna.

    The present investigation is framed under an uncanny social issue, which is present in day to day life, but remained unchecked up to date. It is common to see how many holiday-makers fall in depression or start legal separations once returned to home after dream holidays. It is seen how there is a certain correlation between rate of divorce and the ends of holidays which merits to be explored. Per the preliminary studies, high-expectances correspond with serious glitches to be inserted in daily routine. Following this theory, the rise of divorce would be a result from the marketing role inflating the consumption and the allegory of lost paradise, though some specialist do not discard problems in the internal nature of peoples.
