12.Summary
The family is a group united by marriage,
blood, or adoption, forming a shared culture
through love and interactions. It fosters
relationships, nurtures new life, and empowers
individuals to connect with society. Each family
develops a unique culture shaped by shared values,
experiences, and a commitment to giving and
receiving love. The family fulfills key roles:
ensuring human continuity through procreation,
serving as the primary institution for teaching
values and resilience, and providing material and
emotional support for personal growth, security,
and self-worth.
