Abstract:
This project will give me a better look at where I came from and what has shaped me to be the person I am today. Through research on my cultural, ecological, religious, geographical, and familial history I hope to get a better understanding of my past through my parent's and grandparent's history as well. I plan on finding information on life in the Midwest suburbs from 1990 to present time, and using that to relate to my personal life. I also want to incorporate information I find on larger families and the effect that has on the upbringing of children. I'm going to include research on families with mixed religious backgrounds, considering my mother comes from a Jewish family and my father a Catholic one. In this project, I also want to emphasize on the effect that parent's relationship has on their children through research on family studies.
