Family

Family refers to a group of individuals related by blood, marriage, or adoption who typically live together and provide emotional, social, and economic support to one another. It is often considered a fundamental social unit in society, encompassing various structures, including nuclear families (parents and their children) and extended families (including relatives such as grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins). Families play a crucial role in the upbringing of children, instilling values, traditions, and cultural practices. The concept of family can vary significantly across cultures and societies, with different norms regarding roles, responsibilities, and relationships within familial structures. Family can also be defined in broader terms to include close friends and non-biological relationships that provide similar support and connection.
