1. Consider your family as a co-cultural group. First, describe the scope of your family unit. Are you considering your nuclear family, extended family, etc? Who are the people who make up your family group? Now describe some generally held stories that everyone knows. What do these stories tell you about your family co-culture’s norms and values? What sorts of beliefs and behaviors does your family group consider normal/not normal, desirable/undesirable, appropriate/

inappropriate? How do you know? Describe events/interactions and the consequences of them that have helped shape your family’s set of norms and values.

Finally, describe your family along the five dimensions of Hofstede’s cultural dimensions theory. Explain why you have assessed your family this way.
