It is important to identify and understand your own family culture in order to be able to understand and respect other cultures. Interview a family member(Cuban), and an individual from another culture with which you are unfamiliar. Some examples of an individual from another culture to consider for the assignment include a neighbor, coworker, patient, or friend. Please inform the individuals of the purpose of this assignment and make sure you receive their consent.

Interviews:

Review the "Family Interview " template prior to the interview. Additional space is designated on the template for you to create three additional questions to ask both interviewees (family member and person from another culture). Additional questions should be relevant to the readings or discussion and should provide value to the interview by helping to understand culture.

Some of the questions may include:

1-Family beliefs: Have they changed over generations?

2-Educational and occupational status in the culture and in the family

3-Communication methods: verbal and nonverbal

4-Current family goals/priorities

5-Family member roles and organizational systems

6-Spiritual beliefs: current practice and death and dying

7-Alternative lifestyles

8-Work attitudes and structure

Using the "Family Interview " template, interview your designated family member and the person from another culture. After the interview is completed, write a 750-1,000 words that includes the following:

1-An introductory paragraph with the reasons for selecting the interviewees

2-A summary of the responses from the interview template gathered from the interviewees

3-A comparison and contrast of your findings between the two interviewees

4-A reflective concluding paragraph on how family roles affect the cultural domains and relationships for each individual
