From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. In human context, a family (from Latin: familiare) is an exclusive group of people who share a close relationship —a unit typically (or "traditionally") composed of a mated couple and their dependent children (procreation) in co-residence. Families create generations—each of which gain in maturity and self sufficiency such as to create and provide for subsequent generations. Extended from the human "family unit" by affinity, economy, culture, tradition, honor, and friendship are concepts of family that are metaphorical, or that grow increasingly inclusive extending to nationhood and humanism. There are also concepts of family that break with tradition within particular societies, or those that are transplanted via migration to flourish or else cease within their new societies. As a unit of socialisation and a basic institution key to the structure of society, the family is the object of analysis for sociologists of the family. Genealogy is a field which aims to trace family lineages through history. In science, the term "family" has come to be used as a means to classify groups of objects as being closely and exclusively related. In the study of animals it has been found that many species form groups that have similarities to human "family"—often called "packs." From Wikipedia under the

They're family bonds are so weak! Most kids only see their grandparents or uncles and aunts on holidays, maybe once every other year. If someone besides the nuclear family is living in the home the family counts down the days when they will move out rather than welcoming them and making them feel like a part of the family. Grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, don't have that constant involvement in their kids lives. Women always want their their husbands to make them #1 and are not willing to compromise for the good of the extended family. I mean why? Why the hostility to your own family?

American society is simply more evolved than in countries still mired in tradition and the past. We have greater mobility both physical and social, more space, and the wealth that permits us to live where and how we want. The extended family is the hallmark of rural and/or poor societies. America is neither. Answered by Rillifane - Tue Jun 20 10:41:08 2006 What are some family tradition activities I could do with my preschool class?

As a matter of fact, I would show them they are empty so no one tries to open them. :^) Wrapping is a good fine motor skill, and every family does it. The ones they wrap will look funny, you can be sure. But they will be so proud of them! Put them under your classroom tree. Most families do special cooking or baking. Why not read "The Gingerbread Man" and make gingerbread cookies? Instead of using a cookie cutter, they can use the dough more like "playdough" to make their men. Make and flatten a smaller ball for the head and a larger ball for the body and put them together. Make snakes from the dough and cut them apart and attach for the arms and legs. Use red hots, raisins or… [cont.] Answered by RAH - Wed Dec 2 05:36:17 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Family" A family consists of a domestic group of people (or a number of domestic groups), typically affiliated by birth or marriage, or by analogous or comparable relationships — including domestic partnership, cohabitation, adoption, surname and (in some cases) ownership (as occurred in the Roman Empire).
