The chapters for this week discuss various types of role overload, role conflict and role ambiguity that may occur when we consider marriage, parenting, work and other life expectations and obligations people in the United States deal with every day.

1.  Define role conflict, role overload and role ambiguity.

2.  Discuss what strategies (drawing particularly from chapter 12, Section 12.3) you think would be most effective to manage or balance the expectations of the different roles people occupy in families?  Specifically evaluate at least two of the six strategies presented in your text.  Support all claims/statements with evidence from your text.

NOTE:  Be sure to draw from course material directly in your response.  This is your opportunity to show me that you comprehend the course material you have read and can apply it.  Personal experiences or stories should be reserved for the discussion board.
