Each student will write
a case report about his/her family of origin. Students are to study
and cite relevant
literature related to their family's culture(s), ethnicity(ies), and
development (
at least 3references
must be cited). Ethnographic research techniques are also to be used (study of
family artifacts, documents, photo albums, observations and interviews). You
may choose to explore factors that led to crises and challenges for the family,
and the typical styles of coping and adaptation are to be considered. Other
characteristics that the student may choose to explore are migration patterns,
family organization, child rearing practices, religious beliefs, approach to
eating, secrets, rituals, attitudes toward illness and death, help seeking
behavior, attitudes toward other cultures and deviance, family and gender
roles. Finally, how might your cultural identity influence your work as a
social worker? How might your cultural identity influence your values as a
social worker? If more than one culture comprises the culture of origin, ways
that these differences were negotiated should be discussed. The paper should
be organized along the following sub-Headings: (1) Introduction; (2) Statement
of the Problem; (3) Objective of this study; (4) The Analysis of the Issues;
(5) Conclusion
