Description

Write a 1000- word response to the primary question. How do family traditions and cultural legacies contribute to and/or inhibit an individual’s self-identity? What do you know about your family history? How is this history shared, and how is it valued among individual family members? Beyond its literal meaning, what are the broader implications of the cliche' "keeping the family name alive"? Or has this cliche' outlived its validity? For ex. Walker's "Everyday Use", Rich's "Delta" and Kelley's "The people in Me". Drawing on evidence from several readings and your own experience and observations, write a claim of value argument about an aspect of family heritage and individual identity.

legacies and family traditions tend to contribute to an individual’s self-identity. This can mainly
be related to the fact that they both act as a guidepost which helps shape the life of an individual
and even foster values. Hence, since family traditions are a mixture of ideas, attitudes and
cultures, they indeed contribute to one’s self-identity.
