The first post is the initial response to the question that appropriately and completely addresses the topic. This must be completed by 11:59 p.m.(EST) Thursday night. It is best to post it at the beginning of the week. The remaining two posts are responses to two different classmates. The first response to a classmate is due Saturday at 11:59 p.m.(EST) and the second response to a classmate is due on Sunday at 11:59 p.m.(EST). I will interact with each of you throughout the course. I encourage you to respond back. There will be a deduction of
5 points per day if the initial post is late. Posts are not accepted after the week closes on Sunday night.

Discussion Topic: Family Systems
In chapter 7, we look at the family as a system. We work together and influence each other both the immediate family and then the extended family, friends and community involvements. Take a look at the different parenting styles on pages 231-232. What parenting style did you experience growing up? If you are a parent, what style do you lean on? Discuss the family systems view and how parenting can affect childhood and how that progresses to affect adulthood. Use personal or observed examples.
You may use your textbook or other reputable and scholarly sources to research for this post.

Week 2 Research Assignment
Identity Formation

Write about some of the key concepts in this stage of development and use your own examples to illustrate them. Looking back on adolescence, how did you use hypothetical reasoning skills to experiment with different selves? How does your understanding of your ethnicity and culture contribute to your identity?
