Family theory

Part A (5 pts.)
1)    (2.5 pts.) Read an article on Family Theory – Philosophies of Family Science (see Module 3).  Open a document titled Philosophies Of Family Science (see Module 3) and fill it in.
2)    (2.5 pts.) On Tuesday we discussed how the process of theorizing is actually a part of our everyday life, because we try to make sense of what we see and experience by accumulating data and observing trends.  Our personal theories are informed by our own values and our own worldview that can be traced back to our family of origin or influenced by other people who had a significant impact on our lives.
Remember the example of “hard work = success” or “smart human connections = success”?  Now think of your own family of origin.  Briefly describe one “theory” that you have developed by participating in and observing your everyday family life.  What are the “assumptions” of these theories, i.e., what are the believes behind it?
Part B (4 pts.)
3)    (2 pts.) List the roles that you currently play in their order of importance.  How many are family (family versus career or other)?  Which role is the most integral to your sense of self? And why?
4)    (2 pts.) What homeostasis of corrective feedback do you engage in when dealing with conflict with your best friend or partner?  How do they respond to it?
Part C (1 pt.).
5)    List names (first name only) of 2-3 people that you are considering to interview.  For FAR assignment you would need to interview just one person.  Please mention how you relate to them, and why you want to interview them. Will you be able to meet in person or via Skype, phone call, etc.  What can be the possible date for this meeting?  Please remember that the recommended period for conducting an interview is after Module 6/7.
