Students explore family definitions, structures, and roles within various historical and cultural origins. Theoretical frameworks for studying the family are examined from the disciplines of sociology, psychology, and anthropology. Students are introduced to social science research methods to investigate issues that affect individuals and families in a diverse society. Note: The independent study begins in this unit. Each student determines a topic and formulates a research question.

Unit 2: Individuals in a Diverse Society

An understanding of individual development is gained through the exploration of a variety of related theories. Historical and ethnocultural understandings of the origins of contemporary individual lifestyles, socialization patterns, and family roles are developed. Students undertake an analysis of current issues and trends relating to the young adult. They use social science research skills to enhance their learning.

Unit 3: Intimate Relationships and Marriage in a Diverse Society

Students analyze and evaluate theories about mate selection. The legal aspects of marriage are presented and examined. An overview of the historical, religious, and cultural perspectives of marriage is given. The students learn the skills, attitudes, and behaviors necessary to build satisfying and lasting relationships. Current issues, such as divorce, power/abuse, and alternatives to marriage are explored.

Unit 4: Parent Child Relationships in a Diverse Society

Students examine and explore the development of the parent-child relationship. Students use knowledge of family theories gained in Unit 1 to analyze information from both a psychological and sociological perspective. Issues, such as the role of parents and children in the family, socialization patterns, and parenting practices are examined within the contexts of various cultural perspectives and historical periods. Current issues such as divorce, reproductive technology, teen parenting, and child abuse are investigated in order to speculate on the significance of these trends for individual and family development. Upon completion of their independent study unit, students demonstrate effective use of current technology in the communication of their independent study.

Unit 5: Individuals and Families from Mid-to-Late Adulthood

Students analyze theories and research related to individuals and families ranging from mid-to-late adulthood.

Students come to understand that at this stage in life we revisit some earlier issues from a different perspective.
