The critical reflections are opportunities to deeply engage with the social theories and concepts you learn in class, and apply these concepts to real world data. You must submit three of the four critical reflections.
This reflection will focus on themes from the textbook with the option of including the film you screened, Abu.
Describe the conflict that may come up in heteronormative families when a member comes out (or is outted) as sexually diverse or transgender. You may use Arshad and his family as an example.
Discuss how creating a fictive family, or family of choice/family of choice, can help individuals who are LGBTQ gain the kinds of support and care that families of origin are socially expected to provide. Focus on three specific functions that fictive families provide for members.
Your critical reflection:
Should be three pages double spaced maximum, not including the reference page (do NOT go over the page limit, give consideration to your TA).
Does not need a cover page.
Should be in essay format.
Should be properly cited. Cite the original source, your textbook, not the lecture–unless I state something in lecture that is not in the textbook. See the ASA citation guide I have posted in the week 2 module.
Should be proofread for all grammatical and typographical errors.
Should be uploaded to Quercus in .doc, .docx, or .txt format.
Will be checked for plagiarism using Ouriginal
Citation = ASA = reference page will be needed.
Sources = Chapter 9 and 15
You will need login and download the app called bookshelf to access the textbook
To watch the movie you will go to = https://www.dekkoo.com/abu-father
