Blending Work and Family: You Are Not Alone
Q1). This week you read about intimacy, love, dating, and marriage. Think back over your teen years. Who taught you about intimacy, relationships, and sexual health? What was your dating life like? Did you want to get married one day? If so, what did you imagine it would be like? If you are married now, is marriage what you expected? Why or why not? What qualities are important in a mate? In your experience, what makes a healthy relationship? Is intimacy the same as sex? If you could go back, is there anything you'd do differently?
As you think about those questions, write a letter to you as a teen, giving relationship advice. Your letter should address at least 4 of the questions above as well as any other topics you'd like to include. You may share your experiences as well as material from our readings and any other scholarly sources you find helpful.

Of these 4 areas, choose 1 area that is of most interest to you to do some additional research on the changes that have occurred. Find 2 recent (within the last 5-7 years) scholarly articles on the area that you have selected that reflect the changes that have occurred. Briefly summarize each article and then compare and contrast the 2 articles. Your paper will include an introduction of the topic, a no more than 2 paragraph summary for each article selected, a 1-2 paragraph discussion comparing and contrasting the information found. Please create your assignment as an APA formatted word document to included a cover page, a reference page and APA formatted citations throughout. You will NOT need an abstract for this assignment.

Q1.) There are many forms of family violence and it happens all around us. You may have experienced family violence or know someone who has. Based on what you've learned, what do you think causes family violence and how do we stop it?

Q1. Throughout the course we've examined some of the challenges diverse families face. Sometimes the challenges break the family down and divorce is the end result. After a divorce, some people choose to stay single, some get married again, while others decide to just live together. For this discussion please compile a pros and cons list for divorce, remarriage, cohabitation, and choosing to be single. Be sure to cover factors such as the effects on the children, income, emotional well-being, etc.
