Define material wealth or lack of material wealth as related to your own family’s history. • Find out when your family began to accumulate material wealth and why? Make sure you go back as many generations as you can. • If you family has not had any material wealth, find out since when this has been happening and why? Make sure you go back as many generations as you can. • Make sure you find out whether any of your family were immigrants and when they arrived into the country. How is that immigrant family experience related to the accumulation of wealth or the lack of accumulation of wealth for your family? • Ask your family members (if possible) what role you are expected to play in regard of the conservation of the material wealth of your family? Or if your family has not been able to accumulate any material wealth, find out what are the expectations of the role you are expected to play so your family can begin to accumulate wealth. Would that be possible? How would you do that? • Tie this into any sociological theories and/or concepts that we have discussed in this chapter and in the rest of the textbook so far
