Module 04 Assignment – Portrayal of Families and Relationships

As societal-norms evolve, a variety of popular entertainment media (books, movies, TV shows, etc.) feature stories of characters who are a part of traditional and non-traditional family or relationship structures. Examples include but are not limited to: traditional families, cohabitation, single-parent households, blended families, same-sex couples, and grandparents as the primary care-givers for their grandchildren.

In a 3-page paper, written in APA format using proper spelling/grammar, address the following:

1. Describe a book, movie, or TV show that you are familiar with which features characters in families or personal relationships.
2. Select at least two families/relationships from your chosen story and explain the relationship characteristics and dynamics between individuals.
3. Apply terminology presented within the module when analyzing the relationships. Be sure to include APA citations for any resources you used as references.
