Introduction
Social learning is a powerful type of learning. Men learn how to be husbands and fathers from their fathers;
women learn how to be mothers and wives from their mothers. The purpose of this assignment is to identify
someone from your family who you would like to learn from more and ways that you can use to be more like
them. This person could be someone in your family who is living, or someone in your family who has passed.
Please note that you may need to talk to your parents or to other family members to find out about this person,
and to find out ways that you could use to follow their example more.
