1. The remarried family has been called the incomplete institution. Describe what does this mean? How does this influence the people involved in the remarriage? Write a discussion of kin networks and family law. Do you believe this situation is changing?
2. What evidence can you collect from observation or your own personal experience or both to illustrate that stepfamilies (a) may be more culturally acceptable today than in past and (b) stay negatively stereotyped as not as functional or as normal as first-marriage, nuclear families?
