Institution:

University of Utah

Subject:

Family and Consumer Studies

Description:

What forces are looking out for family needs in society? This course enhances civic engagement by using national and international comparisons to examine family advocacy, policy making and legislation. Ethical dilemmas relate to relationships, break-ups, childbearing, education, income adequacy, housing, work/family balance, health insurance, and family problems. Students develop insight into family policies as well as intended and unintended consequences. Optional enrollment in a unique, 1-credit service learning opportunity (FCS 3904) pairs students with a non-profit organization to lobby the Utah State Legislature.
