Family (group)

A family (or group) is a social unit composed of individuals who are connected through relationships such as blood, marriage, or adoption. These relationships create a sense of belonging, support, and shared responsibility. Families can include parents, children, and extended relatives, and they often influence personal development, values, and social behavior. Beyond biological ties, groups can also be formed based on mutual interests or commitments. Overall, a family provides emotional support, nurtures development, and helps individuals navigate social roles within a community.
