AAA Families in Communities Societies and Cultures Discussion Questions
I’m working on a writing discussion question and need guidance to help me learn.
Families don’t form or evolve in a vacuum. Instead, the family and its environment – macro and micro – are interdependent.
So far in this module, you’ve discussed aspects of your personal experience of family. Now, focus your attention on the broader context in which families exist – communities, societies, and cultures.
What society-wide and/or cultural conditions impact families the most? How/Why? Consider things like technology, the economy (poverty, wealth, homelessness, the job market, etc.), historical events (war, natural disasters, etc.), social movements (globalization, civil rights movements, labor movements, etc.), legal issues.
What role does family policy play in the lives of individual families concerning these issues? How and why do policymakers formalize a definition of family? What happens when these definitions conflict with the individuals’ definition of family?
Make sure to cite at least two sources other than the textbook in formulating your answer, then read and respond to your classmates.
