    The document discusses key aspects of what defines a family. It notes that a family is typically defined as a social and economic unit consisting of parents and children, though the definition can vary across societies. For example, some families are headed by a single parent, same-sex parents, or multiple parents due to remarriage. As long as a group of individuals are socially and economically interdependent, they can be considered a family. The existence of children is also a crucial element in defining a family unit.

    - REFERS TO THE “WEB OF

    SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS”
    THAT HUMANS FORM AS A
    PART OF A FAMILY, WHICH
    IS THE SMALLEST UNIT OF
    SOCIETY
    • DEFINED BY
    FERRARO AND
    ANDRETA (2010)
    “ A SOCIAL AND
    ECONOMIC
    UNIT THAT
    CONSISTS OF
    ONE OR MORE
    PARENTS AND
    THEIR
    CHILDREN”
    THERE ARE SEVERAL
    POINTS THAT YOU CAN
    LEARN FROM THE THE
    WORD FAMILY.
    - What makes a group of individuals a
    family is their dependency on one
    another with regard to their social and
    economic activities. This implies that
    the family act as the primary support
    group for its members as they
    participate in the social processes
    within a society. For this reason, an
    individual is often disposed to consult
    with a family members during social
    and economic crises.
    - In the society that
    you grow up in, a
    family usually
    consists of two
    parents - a father and
    a mother. However,
    this is not the norm
    for other societies
    who would have one
    parent, a mother or a
    father, or multiple
    parents due to
    multiple marriages.
    - Although the marriage of parents is
    important in religious countries such as the
    Philippines, it is not prerequisite in other
    societies. Hence, as long as individuals are
    socially and economically interdependent,
    they can be considered a family. This puts
    into perspective the concept of common
    law marriage, which is an informal union of
    at least two individuals who present
    themselves as a couple. In popular context,
    this is also referred to as cohabitating
    couples or domestic partners.
    - Although same sex
    marriage is illegal in
    most countries
    including the
    Philippines, some
    societies allow for the
    marriage of individuals
    with the same sex. The
    United States now
    allows same sex
    marriages, which create
    families with either both
    female or both male
    - One of the
    most crucial
    elements of a
    family is the
    existence of
    children. Without
    a child, a couple
    remains to be a
    couple and not a
    family.
    1. To orient the individual of
    the norms of the society

    2. To provide physical
    support as the individual
    matures
    In figure, the
    individual
    labelled as
    Ego is
    involved in
    two types of
    families
    Ego's family of orientation
    consists of her father, mother,
    and brother. It is in this family
    that Ego first learned her
    society's norms and her roles in
    it. This family is also her primary
    support group while growing up.
    The nurturing processes for Ego
    occured in the family of
    orientation.
    Ego's family of procreation
    consists of her husband, son and
    daughter. It is in this family that
    Ego creates her own concept of a
    family upon negotiation with her
    husband. It is in this family that
    Ego perpetuates the values and
    beliefs that she has acquired in
    her family of orientation.
    You must
    remember that
    an individual can
    be a part of
    more than one
    family group. As
    you can see in
    figure, Ego is
    part of two
    types of
    families.
