One of the themes of this text has been to illustrate how our personal experiences, choices, and constraints are influenced by historical and cultural forces, social positions, and social institutions. Another way of saying this is:
a. individual protective factors promote resiliency.
b. empirical data can tell us right from wrong.
c. cumulative advantage and disadvantage do affect people in later life.
d. linking micro-level and macro-level perspectives helps us understand families.
