Family

Family refers to a group of individuals, typically consisting of parents and their children, who live together and share emotional bonds, responsibilities, and resources. It can also encompass extended relatives such as grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. The concept of family is fundamental to social structure, providing support, care, and a sense of belonging. Families can be formed through biological connections, marriage, adoption, or chosen relationships, and they play a crucial role in cultural and social identity.
