    The teacher asks students to form 4 groups of 7 and gives them 4 questions to discuss in groups: "Do you need and care about your family support related to career decision? Do you share your family interests related to your career? Would you go with the family tradition or follow your own interests?” Students discuss in groups and afterwards the teacher organizes feedback. Each group appoints a member to present their ideas in front of the class. On a flipchart, every group writes their short answers and then compare them, finding resemblances or differences.
