After study readings of Chapters 2 and 3, please discuss the following questions:
1.How is your family different than the family your parents or grandparents grew up in? What impact do you think those differences had or have on each family?
2.Choose at least two ways your family is similar to the family your parents and grandparents grew up in and discuss the similarities. Why might those characteristics have continued through generations?
3.Of the family functions listed in Table 3.1 which do you think has changed the most since your grandparent’s childhood? What evidence do you have of that change?
4.Why is it important to have researchers looking at specific areas of family life?
