To prepare for this discussion, reread "Becoming a woman, becoming a man, and becoming a person" in your textbook. Your book talks about "the family as a primary socializing agent" (Ivy, 2008, p. 78). Using the Argosy University online library resources, the Internet, and your own unique family perspective, prepare a response related to the following questions:

Distinguish how gender may have influenced the communication within your family. How about birth order (youngest, middle, oldest, only)? Other factors?

Analyze what worked well and what did not work well as far as communication went within your family (listening, conflict resolution, pattern of communication, etc.).

Post your responses in one or two paragraphs.

All written assignments and responses should follow APA rules for attributing sources.
