COURSE: SOCI 104 SOCIOLOGY OF THE FAMILY

REFLECTIONS ON FAMILY:

Instructions:

A depiction in 500 words, or more, about your reflection on a weekly topic about family. For each chapter,

write 5 reflections on family of 500+ words each. The word limit for each reflection is 500 words but you

can write more if you wish for each reflection. Each reflection on family is to reflect upon what positive or

negative impacts has family has had on you? So, choose topics that have impacted you about family. For

example, if you choose to do a reflection on the topic of Family Transitions (Ch8), you will do readings for

Family Transitions, and gather major points, and reflect upon how family has been impacted by the points

mentioned in the readings, and in your life. What are positive or negative impacts of family? You do not

have to balance positive and negative impacts in your reflection, for example writing about 3 positive and 3

negative impacts. You could write about 1 positive impact and 4 negative impacts, or vice versa for a

reflection. What is expected is that you write about 6 positive and/or negative impacts of family in each

reflection. You must use all your readings for each week when writing your reflections and life experience.
