Women, work, and globalization

Paper instructions:
Please answer either question 1, or 2.
Question 1. You are designing a newsletter for families on the challenges of balancing work and family life. You may select any population you would like to target, for example, you could do a newsletter for emerging adults who are about to graduate on some of the issues they may be facing as they move into the professional workplace. You should first think of an area of interest to you, and then your potential recipients. Try to think about this as something you could put into a portfolio- so for example, if you are interested in working with families on selecting a child care facility you might use that as your newsletter. Here you are encouraged to do something you would really be able to use at some point.
Question 2. You are designing a study of issues in work and family that you hope will get at the key issues facing today’s families. Consider what you think are the three main issues (hint, your readings thus far should help) and any special issues you might have to consider when doing research in this area. Describe how you would conduct your research and hypothesize about what you think you will find in your results.
Please answer either question 3 or 4
Question 3. Part of our challenge in balancing work and family is that we are a very consumer oriented culture. We like our “stuff” and many of us are good at accumulating “stuff”. There are also many incentives for us to keep purchasing, in fact right after 9-11 we were encouraged to “buy something”. Analyze your own lifestyle and what you could change (you did a bit of this on the discussion board earlier). I am asking you to expand on this, being realistic at the same time. If you made a change, how do you think this would affect your family members? One of the challenges to “downsizing” is that children are especially sensitive to media messages about “stuff”. How would you deal with media messages? You may use what you have learned from The Story of Stuff” to help you answer this question, just be sure you cite it appropriately.
