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.

I was born and raised in a large family in Ahmedabad where many members lived under the same roof. However, few months after I got married, my husband and I moved to Chennai. In the beginning, I enjoyed the privacy with my husband. But on certain occasions I also felt the absence of other family members around us along with their interactions and regular ‘interference’. As time passed by, I started feeling lonely and missed the crowd of relatives around me. I particularly remembered the fun-filled moments that I spent with my large family during festivals. My husband and I made good friends with few neighbours, but the loneliness remained. After the birth of both my children, I needed my mother and mother-in-law around to assist me for a while, but I had to manage on my own. Things became really difficult when I took up a job. I had to leave both my children in a day care centre. It was then that I most cherished the memories of my childhood spent with my family. |
