Swtched at Birth” Essay
Listen to the podcast for the National Public Radio show This American Life #360: Switched at Birth that is posted on D2L (under Content, under the module Assignments).
Show summary: Two baby girls were born in a hospital, and the infants were accidentally switched. One of the mothers realized the mistake but chose to keep quiet. Until the day, more than 40 years later, when she decides to tell both daughters what happened.
Write a 2-3 page essay in which you:
compare how the two women who were switched at birth describe their relationships to their biological families, in contrast to the way they talk about the families in which they were raised, and
define and give examples of kinship (culturally variable understandings of who is a member of your family) in the stories of the Millers and the McDonalds
