1. Family values assignment
The textbook notes the following: “Families pass learned behaviors and experiences, or
cultural heritage, from generation to generation (Johnson, 1998). Drawing from the
worldview framework introduced in Chapter One, the values held by cultural groups are
expressed in unique patterns through the formation and perpetuation of family units.
Kluckhohn and Strodtbeck (1961) propose that the three primary cultural expressions of
group membership are lineal, collaborative, and individualistic. Family units within these
cultural groups reflect the orientation of the larger social group. For instance, Native
American families reflect stronger linear relationships, often defining family membership
based on a clan or group of families (Johnson, 1998). However, few cultural groups will fit
neatly into any one of the three orientations. Although many Native Americans may have a
more developed awareness of their tribal membership (lineal), the basic functions of these
tribes have historically been collaborative in nature.” Questions: In some cultures, ancestry
is very important, and multiple generations of a family may live in the same dwelling. How
