In our materials for this week, we review how different nations and cultures have different norms and expectations for when (and how) families begin, as well as how that articulates with individual's (mothers', fathers', and other caregivers') professional trajectories.   1b. You are a 25 year old Muslim man and you want to start a family. How do you feel your social, cultural and economic environment shapes your decision to start a family? How do those goals articulate with your professional goals? In what ways have you come to occupy roles and take on responsibilities allotted to adults, and in what ways do you see yourself still in transition (in educational, professional, social and emotional formation and maturation)?
