FAMILY GENOGRAM

The following post has two assignments namely;

1.FAMILY GENOGRAM

Option 1: Prepare your own family Genogram by consulting various members of your nuclear and extended family. Gather a careful history of each family member (covering three generations). Use the symbols listed in the Nichols text. A list of symbols and their meanings is posted on Moodle under unit two to indicate various relationships, etc. Please do not forget to include a legend on the Genogram page. • Explore triangles, alliances, coalitions, cut-offs, and enmeshments. Discuss the origin and effects of each. Be sure to consider both micro-and macro-level influences on you and your family system. • Incorporate theory (i.e. psychodynamic, Bowen Family Systems or other individual or family theoretical models) into your assessment and analysis of your Family Genogram. Were you able to see patterns in family relationships that impacted your own beliefs, perspectives and relational patterns? • Finally, note the sort of experiences you had in constructing your Genogram, as well as your experience of contacting family members to obtain information to complete your Genogram. Ask your family member what the experience might have been like for them as well.

2.Institutional changes in U.S. foreign relations

Choose one of the following prompts to answer. Option A Describe the cultural knowledge shared among members of the platoon that manned O.P. Restropo. What were some of the labels, roles, rules, and narratives they used to function as a unit?

In both the description and the analysis, support your assertions with examples and quotations from the book. Option B Describe and explain the institutional changes in U.S. foreign relations and military philosophies and practices that have taken place in the twenty-first century, and analyze the relationship between them and the experiences of the men in Battle Company. Option C Use one or more of the concepts from Burgett and Hendler’s Keywords in American Cultural Studies to frame an analysis of the story Junger tells in War. The paper must clearly define the concept being applied, utilizing the essay in Keywords, and explain how it applies to the events and experiences described in the book.
