Family

Family refers to a group of individuals who are related by blood, marriage, or adoption. It typically consists of parents and their children, but can also include extended relations such as grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. The concept of family encompasses a variety of structures and dynamics, which can vary significantly across cultures and societies. Families are fundamental social units that provide emotional support, nurture, and care. They often share common resources, values, and traditions. In a broader sense, family can also refer to a close-knit group of individuals who are not biologically related but share strong emotional connections and bonds, such as close friends or community members who consider themselves to be like family.
