Briefly explain any four functions of Family as a social unit.
उत्तर
The family serves various functions as a social unit. Four functions of family are as follows:
- Socialisation: Families play a key role in shaping children's social standards, attitudes, and actions. Family interactions help children develop language, manners, and basic social skills.
- Emotional Support: Families offer emotional support and connection. They provide a secure area for individuals to express themselves, discuss emotions, and seek solace during times of stress or delight.
- Economic Cooperation: Families frequently work together to meet basic needs like food, housing, and clothing. This teamwork ensures the health and life of its members.
- Reproduction and Continuity: Families promote reproduction, ensuring the survival of the human species. They serve as a foundation for passing on cultural heritage, traditions, and values to future generations, promoting societal continuity.
