Based on the powerpoint with different articles attached below, reflect on your own experiences with a significant male/father figure in your life. The person does not have to be a biological father or necessarily someone that lived with you growing up but should be a male with whom you had significant involvement and who served as a “father-figure” or significant male influence in your life (positive, negative, or both). You should explicitly incorporate main points and information from the assigned readings with proper APA style citations and references in relation to your own experiences with the male/father figure in your life. The paper should include analysis and comparison of your own experiences with specific information covered in the readings. The following are some core questions/issues to address in your reflection paper. You may cover additional questions/issues based on your own reflections.

Does/did the male demonstrate characteristics more consistent with traditional or modern fathering as discussed in the readings? Provide supporting examples from your own experience.

What role did the male figure play within the household consistent or inconsistent with those discussed in the readings?

Are there any unique racial, ethnic, or cultural characteristics that influenced parenting style or roles within the household consistent or inconsistent with those discussed in the readings?

Overall, how was/are your experiences with the male figure consistent with or different from those discussed in the assigned readings?

In what way has the male figure influenced your view of what it means to be a “father”? And, how does your experience and view of fatherhood compare with those covered in the readings?

make sure the paper is between 500 to 600 words.
