1.Will you be testing us on topics that are not on the study guide?
2.My family’s style of communication is complicated. Since my parents were raised in a traditional Asian background, they are not use to being open and expressing their feelings and emotions. Therefore, we are always to have respect for elders and whatever they say is always right (even though they are wrong at times). Nowadays, we have improved a lot and are learning to be open towards each other by listening to each other and giving each a chance to express their feelings. The stage of the family life cycle we are currently engaged in is stage 4 and 5. My brother and I are both furthering our education but we still have two younger siblings that are still in high school and junior high
3.Family means everything to me. They are the people who make me who I am today. If it weren’t for them, I don’t think I’d come this far in life if they did not encourage me and support me in everything I do.

1. I have no questions on the study guide.
2.My family's communication is very open. We are respectful of each other but pretty much feel free to say whatever is on our mind. There aren't any uncomfortable subjects and I can always bring up anything.
3.Family is one of the most important things in life. They are a huge part of who we are and how we function in life. -Devin Kearns
1. I have no question for the study guide.
2. My family’s communication style is open. We respect each other and speak what is on our mind. My mom is the most traditional person in our family, so sometimes she doesn’t listens to us. The stage my immediate family is engaged in is stage 4 & 5. My oldest brother and his family live at home with my parents. And my youngest brother is starting college, so he also lives at home.
3. Family is not only a group of people who share the same genetics. They are the people I can depend on when my world is upside down. My family will continuously be there for me when I needed them. Without my family, I will not be here or become who I am today.
~Ling Vuong
No questions.
When it comes to family, I've been stuck at Stage 5: Launching Children for 10 years now. I just can't seem to get to Level 6: Postlaunching of children!

Sorry, forgot about #3.
Family is everything to me. I grew up in a close, tight knit family. I believe in families spending one night a week together for a few hours doing things as a family without technological interference.
I also believe in families praying together. I think the family sitting down for dinner together as much as possible is a great idea. It's a good way to get kids talking about their day and what they are involved in.

1, I have no question about the study guide.
2, My family style is open and is in stage 6, we do not communicate a whole lot since none of us like to talk on the phone but we all believe that the family will support our decisions.
3, Family to me is the foundation and the ultimate support to my personality.
1. So you want us to just focus on answering the question on the study guide only right?
2. My families style is open we do communicate and discuss issus or question that come up. We are close and stick up for each other even when times are hard. we speak our minds and are staight up with each other. We keep things between the family.
3. Family comes first and family is everything. Family is what make a home safe and cozy and comfortable. In any situation I choose family and family is when they are there for you no matter what.
-Olga Fanina
1. I have no questions
2. My family style is very open, were able to express our feelings without being interupted or without being yelled at. What i find most intresting in my family is that we can even curse especailly during out emotional feelings without being scoleded. However during "play" we can't normally curse. Even though my family is and Asian style family. my parents are more Americanized in ways that they listen to our opinion regardless of their lack of english.
4. Family means the base of all my roots. It who I am and will always be apart of me. Family is my support group and my building blocks to success. "The world can give up on you, but family will never"
-Tina Ho
1- No questions.
2- My family's style of communication is traditional, but we are open to talk about any topic that it would concern to any member. As Hispanics, we are so close and support each other during hard times. Respect is the most value because we are family. The stage of my family life cycle is 4. My husband and me are preparing our kids to reach their dreams and being happy with any decision that they choose.
3- Family means love, respect, support and values. I see my family as an extension of me because we are always together.

1) no questions yet
2) My family's communication style isn't the best. At this point in time we are in the 4th stage. I'm the oldest and my siblings are both in high school. We don't really talk to one another about anything, instead we go to our friends. Sad as is it may be we all probably know more about our friends than one another. Our relationship with our parents pretty similar. Our parents are always busy in there work. Mom usually makes the effort to hangout with us, but we hardly talk to dad.
3) Family to me used to be everything, but at this point it is just people who happen to have the same blood. On the other hand, I do know that they will always support me and be there when the world closes its doors on me.
~ Anmol Kaur
1.) I do not have any questions if I do I will let€ you know.
2.) My families communication style is to talk about everything... My boys and I have a very open and honest dialoge and talk often. We are in stage 5 and 6, I have launched one into the world and the other is living at home and going to college... It is a good time of life for us.
3.) Family means alot to me. Being loyal and having each others backs. But family also comes in alot of forms. I have a few friends that I include in the catagory of "family".
Kim Ramm
1. will it be like the midterm where there is nothing on the test that wasn't on the study guide?
2. my family's communication style is pretty simple, we like to argue. No matter what it is we always are at a difference and we seem to try to solve our problems by arguing. It has been this way for as long as I can remember and it has just become a way of life now.
3. To me family is the most important thing because no matter how much we argue we still love each other and we are there for each other when we need them most.
Kevin Rorke
1. I don't have any questions.
2. My family's style is open. We do communicate with each other everyday. We are very supportive of one another. In my family, we always show much respect to elders.
3. Family is really important in my life. They have always been there for me and supported me in everything I do. Being around family is my comfort zone.
-Quang Nguyen
I have no questions on the study guide
My family is very open about things when we see something wrong or not right we tell each other. We run to one another if we need help on a subject. My family is in stage four and five because my step sister and I aregoing to school and furthering our education but we also have three younger siblings
Family means a bond that you have with a person it doesnt have to be blood to be called family
Daniel Easter
I have no questions on the study guide.
My family communication style is that we talk about anything to each other no matter what the topic is. We enjoy talking to one another when we have the time. The stage my family is in stage 5 where my brothers are doing their own thing and I as well. We are all trying to better ourselves so we can move on from our parents and live on our own.
Family to me means people who you love and care for with all your heart
1. No questions about the study guide.
2. My family's communication is open. We usually say what we want and make jokes at each others' expenses. Unlike mentioned earlier in the semester, age doesn't play an important role in determining how communication is carried, because we all treat each other equally and nobody is immune to scrutiny.
3. In my life, family hasn't been as strong or cohesive as I've seen it for others. It's mainly shared experiences combined with friendly interactions over long periods of time. In fact, we've had a lot of family friends at get togethers like Thanksgiving over the years, so blood relation isn't a requirement to be considered family. As far as I'm concerned, family is simply long-term friendship in which people care about the well-being of others.
-Alex Carlson
1. no question
2. My family communication style is open and a little bit traditional. We share problems but sometimes we still have a distance between us. As a Vietnamese family, respect olders is what I learn. Sometimes that make the conversation become difficult.
3. Family is the most important thing for me. However, family for me is not only blood relationships but also friends relationships. Family is people who trust me and who I can trust, who welcome me and accept me as who I am. Hard to explain. But I love all my families.
Hai Tran
1.) I have no questions on the study guide =D
2.) My family openly communicates about certain topics but some topics we don't discuss about. For example, my family and I always speak to one another about sports, movies, politics, shopping, etc. But when it comes to relationships and who we are dating, not a single word is spoken on that topic.
3.) Family comes first before anything else.
-Dan Phan
1. I have no questions about the study guide.
2. My family's style of communication is very open. We are comfortable expressing our feelings and talking about problems even if it is a sensitive subject, because overall we are very understanding and we caring of each other.
3. Family is very important to me. I put family first before anything and anyone because I know that no matter what they will be the ones who will always be there and love me unconditionally.

Quang Nguyen,
I agree with you on your response to number three. No matter what my family is always there for me supporting me as well. I also find the greatest comfort around them too; comfort that I know I couldn't find anywhere else.

By Sasha Lopez 1) I have no questions on the study guide, but I wish it wasn’t cumulative. 2) My families communication style is simple, my dad has always been very accepting to any issues or conflict. In fact I don’t think in my whole life my immediate family has had a heated or angry argument. My family consists of my little brother, my dad, and myself so conflict has never been an issue. My mom passed on early in my life so I cherish the family I do have. 3)Our family stage is the fourth stage, encouraging and independence. Because I no longer am living with my dad but he is always encouraging me to stay positive with school work. He also encourages my little brother to graduate high school as he will also become more independent.
1. I don't have any questions about the study guide.
2. My family are somewhat open. I noticed that we are very careful and that edit a lot of what we say as we speak to each other. As of right now, I think that my family are in several different stages, while my older sisters are in stage 3, developing a family of their own, my parents are in re-do of stage 5 with me (no, I'm not getting kicked out. LOL).
3. As for the definition of family, I really like what Ling wrote. She said, "Family is not only a group of people who share the same genetics. They are the people I can depend on when my world is upside down." I agree. To me, family goes beyond genetic connections, but it is the sincere and genuine bonds that each individual share with each other.
1) no questions
2) my family is currently in stage 5. I am the last of my siblings (I have 2 sisters) to be left in the house. However, I am in a serious relationship and I'm getting ready to move out sometime soon! so my parents are in the "launching" stage.
3)My family play a huge part in my life. They've helped me be who I am today. They give me so much help and support.
-Maggie Cabrey
1. No question
2. My family communication is very open. I have a large family, which includes grandma, mom, two older brothers, one sister in law, and a nephew. We all speck our mind freely and we are respectful to each other most of the time, but do get into nasty arguments once in awhile. My mom encourages my brothers and I to find solutions to problems, because if you don't then it will just come back to later in life. I believe my family is in stages 3 and 4.
3.Family means the world to me. Without them I would not be here. They give moral, physical and emotional support to me. Encouraging to be a better person, helping me make the right decision to make my life prosper. I love them all very much!!!!!
~Adleen Prasad~
1. I don't have any questions about the test. Seems to be pretty straight forward..
2. My family's style is very easy and open. We can talk about anything and everything. I keep a very close relationship with all my children and very lenient with them but when I stomp my feet they understand I'm serious. We respect each other quite a bit. Although we may argue at times we can turn around and be happy in minutes.
3. My family means the world to me. I'd be willing to take a bullet for them.... not that I'd want to but I would. They are my pride and joy!

My family communication is complicated as well as the others who say it is complicated. Based on the fact that we don't really communicate and we always are in a fighting mood.i do not know what cycle we are in i'm going to school and my other family is not doing anything so yea.
Family means everything to me and i love them to death. my family is the most important thing we have and i cherish mine. I do not know what i would be without my family.
Kim L Kel,
Isn't that the truth about Asians. I believe we have the most complicated backgrounds ever. At the same time, there is more family respect taught and they also teach the value of family.
Teng Xiong
1. no questions about the study guide at this time.
2. my family style is open because we are free to talk and discuss everything in a very respectful way.
3. family means to me that we support each other through everyday situations the best way we can.
-neal vickers
1. the study guide looks fine to me.
2. My family's communication is usually good but a the moment it seems to be a struggle to get along. With stress from work, moving ,and family problems everyone is close to the edge wich makes communicating a lot harder.
3.Family is a big part of everyones life and learning to communicate with them is very important.
-Michael Arredondo
1. No questions about final
2. My family's communication style is not very expressive or open. I was raised with strict Indian values so if my sisters and I do or say something inappropriate, it is highly frowned upon, so we just keep silent.
3. Family means everything to me. I consider myself very lucky to have such loving parents and sisters.
