what is the difference between a nuclear and monogamous family?
Answers
Monogamous Strictly speaking this is a compound word from the Greek: Mono = one Gamos = marriage. Refers to a couple having only one marriage in their life-time. Although the word through use has been extended to include serial monogamists who have one marriage partner at a time and is these days even extended to mean people who are not married having one long term sexual relationship at a time. The word monogamy is the opposite of polygamy where a polygamist has multiple marriages at the same time.
The term nuclear family is strictly only when children live with and are cared for by both biological parents but some people extend this definition to include step parents and step children and adopted children. A nuclear family is in contrast to a single-parent family where one of the parents has either left home or passed away leaving the other parent to raise the child(ren) alone. Your nuclear family is the subset of your extended family which includes grandparents and grandchildren, aunts uncles etc.
Nuclear and Monogamous Family
Explanation:
- Nuclear family is a term that alludes to only two generations of "blood family members."
- A monogamous, family unit would be mother, father, and their prompt kids, with no different family members or others living as a component of the characterized nuclear family
- A monogamous family is characterized as a sort of family including the connection between a man and a lady, that is, one man and one lady
- Family units exist broadly, even in non-Western social orders portrayed in general as polygamous (that is, polygynous, polyandrous, or polygynandrous)
