In my paper you can talk about how my family is African American and my grandparents were the children of slaves and native americans in Texas. You can use any of these theories but only use one. It will be for #3 above:
Systems Theory: Describes human behavior in terms of complex systems. It is premised on the idea that an effective system is based on individual needs, rewards, expectations, and attributes of the people living in the system. According to this theory, families, couples, and organization members are directly involved in resolving a problem even if it is an individual issue.
Psychodynamic Theory: This was developed by Freud, and it explains personality in terms of conscious and unconscious forces. This social work theory describes the personality as consisting of the id (responsible for following basic instincts), the superego (attempts to follow rules and behave morally), and the ego (mediates between the id and the ego).
Rational Choice Theory: This is based on the idea that all action is fundamentally rational in character, and people calculate the risks and benefits of any action before making decisions.
Family Life Cycle Theory: This is based on the premise of a typical series of changes in structure that are prompted by family developmental needs. The process includes broadening, contracting, and realigning of relationship patterns to support the entry, exit, and development of members in a healthy way. This spiraling allows opportunities within the family for members to work and rework issues of closeness and individuality.
