You are going to consider the dynamics of inheritance as it relates to your own family/cultural background, and as you reflect on what you yourself have observed and/or experienced, begin to organize your thoughts into a written essay that will address these issues:

1. How would you characterize your own approach to the use of a will to designate specific recipients of gifts you choose to give them? What criteria would you use to dispense specific items, property and/or monies? Would that criteria be based on family relationships or kinship status and, if so, why - and what would those criteria be? If not, why not - and what other criteria might you use?

2. Have you or someone you know ever been connected to the dispensation of properties and someone - either a relative or someone else - has chosen to dispute the validity of the will? If so, what happened? Even if there were no disputes to your knowledge, did the settling of the deceased's estate result in any shift of family dynamics or social influences?

3. If you were to choose an official way (perhaps for use in the world you are configuring for the SLO essay in this class) that individuals could designate what happened to their properties/assets after death, what would that be? Would you make it a requirement for everyone?
