Hutter suggests that families define members roles according to their age categories. Do
you think this is true? Give evidence from your own observations to support your point
of view.
What will be an ideal response?
Age categories (such as toddlers, teens, young adults, elderly) are powerful
determinants of family expectations, power, privilege, status. As each individual
progresses along the age trajectory these change. As each joins a new portion of the
stratified group in the kin system their lives and the lives of those around them are
affected. Students will have examples of these conditions from which to draw evidence.
