Week 3 Discussion
This week, locate an article on family roles across cultures. Use the NSU library system which will offer you a wide variety of scholarly full-text articles in those areas. Include bibliographic information in APA format (author, year, title, journal, etc.) so your classmates may also locate it, if desired. Provide a brief critique of the article and what impressed you about it, especially if the information is new to you.
