Society and Culture : Family (for BSIT II Gold & Ruby)
Family is the oldest and basic of all social institutions. John Locke defines the family as a group of persons united by bonds of marriage, blood or adoption, constituting a single household, interacting and communicating with each other in their respective social roles, and creating and maintaining a common culture.
The smallest units are called conjugal families which must include a husband and wife. What is nuclear family then? How this differs to an extended family?
The Filipino Family - during the Spanish period and before the outbreak of World War II, has preserved its solidarity. Family ties were close. The members lived, worked, ate and, among the Catholics heard masses and prayed the Angelus and the Rosary as a family. It is the basic unit of society and the primary social institution where one is born. Its failure to direct the correct way of its members may destroy the bond that ties as the forerunner destined to rear, develop and discipline the youth of the society.
