Instructions
Step 1: Choose one of the three prompts below for this weeks discussion. Please label your discussion based on which prompt you answered. You do not have to answer all three but may choose to add in elements of the other prompts if you find it is helpful in supporting or discussing your answer. Remember to include both personal experience and an example from the module readings/content to support your reflections.
Prompt 1: Reflect on your own experiences growing up in a family and the role of cultural teaching in shaping your behavior, values, and beliefs. How did your parents or caregivers influence your understanding of appropriate behavior and societal norms?
Prompt 2: Consider the cultural differences in expressing emotions, specifically anger, as discussed in the readings. Reflect on your own cultural background and the ways in which anger or other emotions are expressed and perceived. How does cultural teaching influence the way emotions are communicated and understood in your culture?
Prompt 3: Explore the concept of family and its evolving definitions across different cultures and time periods. Reflect on your understanding of family and how it has been shaped by cultural teaching. Discuss any individuals or relationships in your life that you consider family, even if they do not fit the traditional definition. How has cultural diversity influenced your perception of what constitutes a family?
