Family life can vary significantly across different classes, races, and ethnic groups. These differences may result in part from differences in customs and traditions. Socioeconomic status also can affect family life by introducing constraints or opening up possibilities. According to conflict theorists, families tend to pass down their class status to younger family members. Are patterns in your family consistent with the family variation you learned about in Reel Society? Answering the following questions will help you to find out. You also can see how other students using Reel Society and participating in this poll answered these questions.
