The week 4 assignment calls for a video thread interview of a parent and a grandparent.  I realize this may not be possible, so I would ask that you try to interview two people from two different generations regarding the questions provided.you can write a paper with the interview.  Each person should be at least one full page, so two pages total. 

For this assignment you will interview one parent and one grandparent or two elderly family members.  You will be asking them how your families (or your own) health behaviors have been “shaped” by various aspects of their culture, race, religion, and socioeconomic status. Be sure you understand and can explain to them what each of the parameters means (culture, race, religion, socioeconomic status). Health behaviors refer to habits related to your diet, exercise habits, smoking, drug and alcohol use, seat belt use, risky behaviors, etc
