Homework 1
1. I personally do believe that Scarborough 11 were one family. I define family as those who love
and support. Support as emotionally, financially, or even just helping around the house. I
understand they were not blood related however, a big piece of family is love. However, this
family was also raising children together which is the definition of family.
2. The two components of American Individualism are utilitarian individualism and expressive
individualism.
3. I eliee hildre are osidered a puli good eause of the fat the puli is supposed to
benefit from them. As children they cannot help as much because they legally cannot work.
They take more out as a child than an adult.
4. Some daily activities that are better analyzed through thinking of public family would be going
to work every day or going to school every day. These are things that will benefit all instead of
just them in the family.
5. Some daily activities that are better analyzed as private family would be anything that only
benefits them in the family. I take it as cleaning their house, cooking for the family, or even
taking from society.
6. I believe there are activities that both public and private families involve in. They are both
supporting a family, so they still have to grocery shop, pay bills, etc. I think this is more of what
both families will accomplish daily.
7. Sociological researchers cannot be objective because they allow their own morals and beliefs to
contradict the research. They will only harm the research if it is objective.
8. Many people develop their self-identities through reflexivity. This is where they basically take
the knowledge they have of their behavior and thoughts and use it to their advantage to find
their identity.
9. I read the text and took it as families do not like to talk about the problems within their families.
I eliee they rate their proles ot at high risk here as they ay rate other faily’s
problems high risk.
