01. Based on what you know about the history of American no-fault divorce laws from this course do you think could ever happen in the United States? Explain and defend your response. Again, be careful! You want to show you know what no-fault divorce is and whether or not it would be relevant should “renewable marriages” exist. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-15114406
02. Based on what you know about Justice Kennedy’s decision on Obergefell V. Hodges (2016) do you think could ever happen in the United States? Explain and defend your response. Be careful in answering this! You want to show that you know and understand what Kennedy said in his decision and, also, that this example is about two friends who are not romantically or sexually involved sharing custody of a child as friends. Can’t remember what Justice Kennedy said about Obergefell V. Hodges (2016)? https://www.cbc.ca/2017/attention-canadian-singles-why-not-raise-a-child-with-your-best-friend-1.4097066

03. List all the people who could have possibly been Sarah Polley’s father and when they come up in her documentary, Stories We Tell (2012). There is a right answer to this question and a wrong one 😉 So pay close attention as you watch! I need the minute markers when all these potential dads come up along with who you are talking about, i.e., Michale Polley, and Geoff Bowes …
04. Would it have been possible for Geoff Bowes to be Sarah’s father? Again! There is a right answer and a wrong answer here! You need to watch until the very end of the documentary to find out the answer.
05. For what specific reason did Sarah Polley’s mom, Diane, lose custody of her two older children, i.e., the one she didn’t have with Michael Polley?
06. Tell me the exact minute marker Sarah makes it clear that some of the home movie footage in Stories We Tell (2012) is “real footage” that her dad, Michael Polley, shot over the course of her childhood and growing up and some of it is “staged and shot” by her for the specific purpose of this film.
07. Give me the minute marker of when a “real” piece of home movie footage is used in Stories We Tell (2012) and the minute marker when a “staged” piece is used. Be sure to explain and defend your choices here in case you get it wrong ?
08. Based on what you know about the American ideal of the family wage do you think the following could ever happen in the United States?
*Explain and response*
Explain and defend your response. What I am looking for is whether or not you think the French viager system of property ownership could work in the United States based on the ideal that the nuclear family can exist on one income. Think of the Ryan family! https://www.connexionfrance.com/article/Archive/Explaining-the-viager-system
09. Based on what you know about the American foster care system from this course do you think could ever happen in the United States? Explain and defend your response. What you are considering here is the idea of raising children collectively versus raising them in a surrogate nuclear family. Be careful to be specific in your response. Don’t write off the foster care system in general terms. Actually reference at least one of the many stories told here and here about the foster care system. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2011/feb/19/kibbutz-child-noam-shpancer
10. Below is a video that documented something that actually happened in *real life.* An expert on Korea, a professor who was doing a live interview on BBC TV, was interrupted when his daughter and then son burst into the room. Watch the video below a few times and pay close attention to what is going on in the upper right-hand corner of the video. Once you watch the video answer this question: Do you think the woman in the video is the wife of the man talking or his nanny? Explain and defend your response. what happened after many people online identified her as the nanny. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/15/world/asia/bbc-interview-kids-professor-robert-kelly.html https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/mar/13/nanny-bbc-interview-robert-kelly-small-children
11.How was Vivian Maier like Mary Poppins? Detail your answer based on what you know about Vivian and Mary’s families, work ambitions, and romantic/sexual partner status. Explain and defend your response.
12. Imagine a life like Vivian Maier’s. Who would you be if you lived your life purely for yourself and not for your family or a romantic/sexual partner or, even, your friends? Who would you be if you worked a job that you loved and that provided for you just enough money to pursue your deepest heart’s passions (as Vivian pursued photography and traveling)? Who would you be if you didn’t worry about whether or not other people thought your deepest heart’s passions were worthwhile or good? Didn’t worry about public approval or fame? Who would you be? What would you do? As you have hopefully come to know from this course, your body really matters when it comes to sexual, romantic, and familial choices. But it also really doesn’t matter … that much. Don’t know who Vivian Maier was?https://audreysprengerindex.blogspot.com/2018/11/vivian-maier-lived-for-herself-1.html
