Instructions:
Make sure you only pick ONE of the 2 topics for the reflection. DO NOT talk about both topics.
I have attached some resources for both of the topics so make sure you read all the material and used whatever seems relevant to the chosen topic.
The word count is 250 words, not including the references at the end.
I have included a picture of the marking criteria to show what is expected of the assessment. Please look at it to ensure instructions are followed.
Write a journal entry for ONE of the following topics:
1) Marriage and cohabitation OR
2) Childhood and parenting
A Journal entry that should summarize and critically reflect on key concepts/theories and/or issues/topics exploring families and relationships across time, generations, and cultures. Students are expected to engage in reflexivity when completing this task. In other words, they are expected to reflect on their own social, cultural, and/or historical positioning, including their own beliefs, assumptions, and practices, about unit content.
Students are expected to:
– Recognise and described the family and intimate relationships as socially constituted
– Describe the contemporary diversity of family and intimate relationship forms both in our own and across cultures
– Provide evidence for the historical specificity of family forms and intimate relationships.
