Problem 1: Define what is meant by a "learned difference" and provide an example of a learned difference that can be observed in U.S. society.
Problem 2: Using a specific example of a difference between sexes, compare a naturalist and a culturalist explanation of the difference What are the limitations of each perspective, and what is a stronger alternative explanation in your opinion?
Problem 3: As the textbook states, "Evolution-based thinking about humans often asserts that the so-called nuclear family-a mother and father with children who live together without extended kin-is natural" (p. 62). Provide examples of families or kin groups that are not nuclear. Here, you might think about other cultures, your own life, or changes in U.S. living arrangements.
