Families in a diverse society

Paper instructions:
1. Choose a topic (should be an issue facing the

family) for your reaction paper. Elect one that is

interesting to you! Reaction papers are an opportunity

for you to develop an educated opinion on a topic, and

present your response to another person’s argument.

You may agree or disagree with the argument,

depending on your own informed opinion.

2. Access one social science article that presents a

viewpoint or perspective on your topic. You will

address this perspective in your reaction paper.

Review what you have learned about critically

evaluating secondary resources. Your resource may

present a perspective that you agree with, or one that

you reject. Avoid emotional knee-jerk reactions; rather

than responding from only personal experience, which

is limited, expand your evidence and formulate

informed opinions based on further reading, research,

and evidence. To select and access a social science

article and related research material, consult the

resources below or other sources that you may be

familiar with.

To formulate a reaction to another person’s

argument, ask yourself the following questions:

Do I agree/disagree with the author’s perspective?

Why or why not?
What bias is evident? What assumptions does the

author make?
What new knowledge have I learned? Have my

previous opinions on this topic been changed in any

way?
What is the purpose of this material? Does it

accomplish its goal?
Is the information in this material useful? Accurate?

Thorough? Credible? What evidence does the author

present to support this perspective?
What questions do I still have? Has the author

omitted information or failed to address something

important?
What are the opposing arguments to this position?

Can this perspective refute them?
