Description

Reel Families looks at how we define family and how those definitions have changed over the last century while helping you master course concepts more completely than you would through the textbook alone.

You take on the role of Celia, a graduate student who has moved back home to live with her mother and stepfather. You influence key plot turns by making choices for her that determine the types of relationships Celia has with family members as well as her family's place in the larger society.

You explore a wide variety of issues firsthand—class differences in family life, forming a union, the 'modern' American family, parents and children, what families do, and more.
