The Lauer & Lauer text describes various types of families such as families from different cultures, families with a different number of parents, American families whose members are from different ethnic groups, and families where both parents are of the same sex.

Explain the differences between two or more of the various types of families. What aspects or characteristics of these families are different from your family or origin or family of orientation?

Comment on the posts of your fellow students whose descriptions and explanations are most interesting to you.
