Please write about Vietnamese family ( and make it up)
This purpose of this paper is to get you started thinking about and applying a sociological analysis regarding family. It does not require outside sources but does require that you draw widely on the readings from our book and cite them. Use at least two different readings. Thus, the only sources you need for this paper are the book and an understanding of your family history. The paper should be 5 pages in length maximum, counting text only.
The specific task of this paper is to examine your family history using the ideas about: stratification, gender, love, property, history of the family, and families and work. Almost all people living in the U.S. are descended from immigrants who came here from another part of the world. One way to begin your paper is with an immigrant generation from either the maternal or paternal side of your family. Here are some questions to get you started thinking about the paper. However, do not write your paper as a series of answers to these prompts. Think about these ideas and what you can use from this class to analyze what happened.
Where did your predecessors come from? Why did they immigrate? Where did they settle in the U.S.? What kinds of work did they do? What was their economic status? Did they face difficulties due to race, ethnicity, religion or language? What were gender norms and relations like in each generation? Who fit in, who didn’t fit in, and why?
Look at generational differences, e.g., great-grandparents, to grandparents, to your parents, to you. That’s an example. It’s not required to have multigenerationsl information about your family. It’s okay if you can’t go back that far, or if you can go even farther. If you know only about your generation and that of your parents, that’s enough. If you have children now, you may also include differences between the ways you grew up and those of your children.
The important aspect of the assignment is to make a sociological analysis of family characteristics based on what we are studying. It’s not necessary that you communicate about anything that seems too private or confidential. Whatever the story of your family, again, the purpose is to make a sociological analysis of it. You may include a few pictures if you like. Tell us who is pictured, why you chose that picture and what the picture means to you.
The paper should be 4 – 5 pages in length, counting text only. Format your paper properly, included your name, a title, use double spaced pages with one-inch margins and 10 or 12 pt font. Number your pages. You must include a Works Cited (MLA) or References (APA) page with each reading cited independently. Do not just cite the Risman book as this is improper citation form. There is a separate discussion thread set up in Week 2 for students to post papers for others to read. These often are papers that students enjoy sharing and reading. It is NOT required that you share your paper. The paper is due on Sunday . Submit the paper to the Week 2 course for grading.
