A family is a social unit consisting of individuals who are related by blood, marriage, or adoption, typically living together and providing emotional, financial, and social support to one another. The concept of family encompasses a variety of structures, including nuclear families (parents and their children), extended families (which include additional relatives), single-parent families, and blended families (which may include step-parents and step-siblings). Families serve as the primary context for socialization, where individuals learn values, norms, and behaviors. They often fulfill various roles such as caregiving, economic support, and companionship, contributing to the emotional well-being of their members.
