You have been chosen as an expert on the family to address the U.S. Congress. You are to write a short briefing on the future of the family in the U.S. and to conclude with a few recommendations to the government as to what kinds of actions you believe it should take in order to improve the futures of families in the U.S. Everything you write must be founded in some type of evidence presented to you over the course of the class (i.e. do not base everything on your personal opinions)
