Due September October 17th
This assignment will expect you to depict your family through the visualization of a family tree.
It is up to you how you wish to depict it, whether drawn by hand, typed, or using computer
software. In addition to the family tree, you are expected to submit a couple of paragraphs or
sentences explaining the following:
1. What criteria you used to include your family members? (As we saw in chapter 1, there
are legal, biological, emotional ties that impact family definitions)
2. What is the basis of your social bonds? (What glues you together)?
3. Are there identifiable groups (i.e. cousins, classmates, team members, coworkers)?
4. How have the Market and State institutional arenas shaped these groups?
