Instruction for Responses: There is no limit to the length of your discussion response. However, a strong response is usually 1 paragraph in length that includes specific examples from course readings, class lectures, or other outside sources to support any claims/opinions. You can provide examples from the course or outside material. It is always a good practice, whenever possible, to provide evidence for any claims or examples you provide.

Prompt: Conceptual models/frameworks and empirical studies show that family members’ acculturation levels, cultural values, and experiences of discrimination can directly influence or shape (moderate) other family members’ values/experiences and outcomes. Use specific examples to explain how acculturation levels/cultural values and discrimination experiences of a family member may directly or indirectly impact or shape dyadic relationships (i.e., the relationship with another family member—e.g., parent-child; sibling subsystems; partners) and come to impact family dynamics and/or individual-level outcomes.
