I really think that including the diversity of family structure in this course would be a great topic because it would be something that all people can apply to their own life. I remember before my parents got a divorce, I was quick to assume that many steroetypes about both the parents and the children who come from this background. Surprisingly, I do not fit into any of the stereotypes that I was so quick to palce on my friends who had parents who were divorced. I chose to focus my final project on this because I think that the divorced population is under represented in literature and when it is talked about it is almost always talked about in a way that calls for some sort of recovery or self help becasue of the situation. I think that if we had a discussion about families in an open and comfortable setting there would be a great opening for the semester where we learn about each other, discuss our misconceptions, explore the diversity, and make connections between our differences.
