Module 1 Class discussion: Peer pursue dreams [Required/Graded: 5 Points)

Chapter 2 discusses about studying marriages and families and Chapter 3 examines family diversity. American families become diverse. One goal of the course is to learn how to build a foundation for a happy relationship and healthy family.  Students pursue education and career and at the same they might develop a relationship. The following short movie is about a young couple, actor and musician, reminisce through vivid photography of their time together before pursuing their dreams of music and film. 

Please watch the video and respond to the following questions:

1. Do you think that a partner who decided to move from one area to another will affect a relationship? How do you support the partner’s dream and deal with the scenario?
2. Societies with skewed sex ratios tend to be unstable. Please use current U.S. Census to provide sex ratio in the United States, sex ratio in New Jersey and in Los Angeles. How do you predict population change and interracial relationship in future? Why?

The United Nations adopted the Convention on the Prevention of Genocide in 1948. Its historical origins and provisions – as well as the failures to prevent genocide in recent decades – illuminate the challenges facing the world today. In the face of prevailing risk, the United Nations Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide, Adama Dieng, calls for all people to take a stand against this crime.
