Family

Family is a social unit typically consisting of individuals who are related by blood, marriage, or adoption. It often includes parents and their children, but can also extend to other relatives such as grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. The concept of family varies across cultures and communities, influencing social dynamics, support systems, and identity. Families can be nuclear (consisting of two parents and their children) or extended (including a wider network of relatives). The relationships within a family are characterized by emotional bonds, shared responsibilities, and mutual care, which provide individuals with a sense of belonging and security.
