DQs

I was reviewing chapter 7s intro before making dinner tonight and thought of some questions.

Why do you think birthrates are declining in numerous parts of the world? I would have thought the opposite...

I thought about the Learning Activity on page 380. It asks you to conduct interviews of dorm mates or people around you. I only have me and my boyfriend right now. I'll just answer. It asks who you consider family. Well, I consider first my parents, sisters, cousins, etc family. I had a best friend growing up who became family, like another sister and her family became my family. When I started dating Bryan he quickly became family. After I met his family and spent more and more time with them they became my family. We don't all live together, that would probably be one cramped house. My dad took care of me and my family, but my mom was in charge of the financial well-being because she was the bread winner. I'm not so sure how to answer the extended question family. We (my immediate family) are attached to our extended family.

So, can any of you answer the questions for we can compare?

Ok, I ran out of time. I have to make dinner.
