The family had a biggest role in every society. It is the basic or the most fundamental unit in any society. Other sociologists and anthropologists define the family as a group of people who are united by ties of marriage, ancestry, or adoption, and who are reorganized by the community as constituting a single household and as having responsibility for rearing children. On the other hand, the United States census defines the family as two or more persons who are related to each other blood, marriage, or adoption and who live together. However, there is a broadening concept of the family to include adults who are not relatives but who have a commitment to each other and want to live together, in some sense as a family.
The family may be viewed as a subsystem with interacting personalities. The members interact with one another in their reciprocal role, supported by a set of norms attitudes, and values drown mostly from the larger society.
