Please review the CCMH10CAv002 Wk4 Summative Assessment Rubric linked to the assignment.
Create a genogram that identifies the racial or ethnic characteristics and changing worldviews of your family over three to four generations to be used in future assignments in this course. This tool differs from a standard genogram because the focus is on how and when prejudice or bias may be learned.
Complete the following tutorial on how to build an ethnic genogram before starting your assignment:
Ethnic Genogram and Analysis
Download the PowerPoint template at the end of the tutorial to use to build your genogram.
Write a 700- to 1,050-word analysis of your genogram in which you:
Analyze your family history to determine how you developed your own racial and cultural identity. Describe how you identify yourself when reflecting on your cultural heritage, age, religious affiliation, socioeconomic status, etc.

FYI: I do not penalize academic papers that exceed the posted word count within reason (e.g., approximately 100 words). However, the overage must not be due to redundancy.
Support your analysis with research from a minimum of two peer-reviewed sources.
Format your analysis according to appropriate course-level APA guidelines.
Submit your PowerPoint genogram and your Word document of your analysis for your assignment.
