Answer to Question 1
For many years, the standard sociological definition of family has been a group of
people who are related to one another by bonds of blood, marriage, or adoption and
who live together, form an economic unit, and bear and raise children. Today's families
include many types of living arrangements and relationships, including single-parent
households, unmarried couples, lesbian and gay couples, and multiple generations (such
as grandparent, parent, and child) living in the same household. To accurately reflect
these changes in family life, sociologists have suggested a more encompassing
definition of what constitutes a family. We now define families as relationships in which
people live together with commitment, form an economic unit, care for any young, and
consider their identity to be significantly attached to the group. Sexual expression and
parentchild relationships are a part of most, but not all, family relationships.
