Describe your own family in terms of their orientation toward achievement or nurturance. Discuss how this orientation has affected your future career choice (or college major.)

What will be an ideal response?

- An achievement culture often values assertiveness, achievement, ambition, and competitiveness.
- In a nurturing culture, people place value on relationships and quality of life. These cultures highly value affection, friendliness, and social support over assertiveness and aggressiveness.
- Student examples will vary but should include discussion of a family orientation toward achievement or nurturance, and its impact upon them.
