Family is a social institution or primary group that we may have been born into or joined by way of adoption. We often think of the 'traditional family' as husband, wife, and children;yet, this family pattern is not representative of all FAMILIES.



QUESTION:
WHY DO WE CALL THIS THE TRADITIONAL FAMILY? what are some variations in family life that we see in the communities? How is the family portrayed in the media and how has this changed over time??
