How does Hansen’s report allow us to build a concept of family in America? As part of your answer state and explain the parts of this concept of family.
Your essay must quote and/or paraphrase and work directly with material from all four essays in this reading set. In addition, define and employ key terms that seem to be central to the arguments of your sources and, therefore, to your argument as well. Primary among these key terms is “family.” Other key terms that might help you with your argument are: decline; familism; deficit comparison model; voluntary kin; social constructionism; kinscription.
