Family

             The Family is one of the most important social groups we belong to as we grow up and become part

of society. It is the place where we learn most of our values and nd a belonging. Without our families we

would not be the same people we grow up to become. Throughout history, the word family has carried many
different meanings. Most people think of a family as a mother, father, and several children, but a family could

be almost any group with common characteristics. All of the many different types of families are very

important to society as well as the individual as they mature and nd a place in life.

Without the support of this traditional family society could not work because there is no way a child can live

and learn on their own.

             Some say this traditional family is dying and perhaps it is. The structure of the traditional family is still

the same but the functions of family have changed. With child labor laws coming into play, children are not as

much a part of the labor force as they once were. More emphasis is on the children learning to someday
become a part of the labor force. Without the family supporting them they will not be ...
