Cross-Cultural Research Paper (100 points) Select a family policy discussed in the textbook, and write a comparative analysis paper focusing on cross-cultural approaches to that policy. The purpose of the paper is to synthesize your learning of the cultural approaches to a family policy or law. Remember to identify major theories discussed in the chapter readings for your family policy. Example Topics: Compare and contrast birth rates and population growth, as it relates to family planning policies, in the United States and Japan. Discuss the theories that relate (i.e. individualistic culture vs. collectivistic culture). Compare and contrast maternity and/or paternity leave policies in (Country A) and (Country B).
