Answer 1

Answer:

Some of the important characteristics of the family system are as follows:

Famous Greek Philosopher Aristotle opines that Man is a social animal. He never lives alone. A completely isolated individual is unthinkable. He begins his day as a member of a group i.e. family. Hence of all human groups, the family is the most important primary group. No known society ancient or modern is free from the family system. The family has undergone several changes over time as Burgess and Locke put it ‘from a hard and fast social structure or institution and becoming a flexible relationship.

Explanation:

However, family as a unique social institution which has no substitute. It is the basic unit of social organisation. Family is the nucleus of all social structure and still continue to be the most stable associations and institutions of human society. Society is a conglomeration of families. No society or civilization ever exists without family. It plays a very important role in the development of the personality of an individual and also in the process of socialization.

The term ‘family’ has been derived from the Roman word ‘Famulus’ which means a servant. In Roman law, the word refers to the group of producers and slaves and servants and members of common descent. A family is a small group which consists of father, mother and their children who are related to each other by kinship ties on the basis of marriage, blood or adoption. The family is a biological unit which consists of parents and children. But the meaning of family can be better understood from the following definitions.

(3) According to Kingsley Davis, “Family is a group of persons whose relations to one another are based upon consanguinity and who are, therefore, kin to another.”

(4) According to Eliott and Merrill, “Family is the biological social unit composed of husband-wife and children.”

(5) According to Ogburn and Nimkoff, “Family is a more or less durable association of husband and wife with or without children, or of a man or woman alone with children.”
