Answer to Question 1

The family is a child's first exposure to the world around him or her. The child is completely dependent upon the family for his or her survival. By the time independence and individual judgment develop, a lot of the socialization process has already taken place. In addition, the family of birth is a major determinant of one's position in society. The social position or social class of one's family has a profound effect on how he or she will be treated by others.
