The home (as a social unit)

The home, as a social unit, is a fundamental environment where members—such as family or close-knit groups—live and interact. It provides physical space, emotional support, and a sense of stability. Within this setting, members share responsibilities, develop relationships, and influence each other’s behaviors and values. The home shapes social skills, cultural identity, and overall well-being, serving as a foundation for individual growth and societal participation. It is both a private refuge and a key social institution where essential life skills and bonds are nurtured.
