 Family is a group of people of people affiliated by consanguinity, affinity, or

co-residence.
 Members of the immediate family include spouses, parents, brothers,
sisters, sons and daughters.

 In most societies, the family is the principal institution for the socialization of
children.

 Anthropologists classify most family organization as matrifocal(a mother and

her children), conjugal (a husband, his wife, and children.), avuncular (for
example, a grandparent, a brother, his sister, and her children).

 Or extended (parents and children co-reside with other members of one

parent´s family).

 The term “nuclear family is commonly used, especially in USA, to refer to

conjugal families.

 Sociologists distinguish between conjugal families (relatively independent of

the kindred of the parents and other familiesin general.)

 Matrifocal family is a kind of family where women have the resources t orear
their children by themselves.

 Extended family serves as a synonym of “consanguinal family”,

  Consanguine means “of the same blood”.

 Blended family describes families with mixed parents; one or both parents
remarried, bringing children of the former family into the new family.

 These family communication patterns arise from two underlying sets of

beliefs.

6. Write one page with information about how your life has changed this
year.

Has the Coronavirus pandemic changed my behaviour? Of course

it has. It has affected many people including myself. I´m now at home every day

and I think that it really is affecting me socially. Not being able to speak to friends

and see people. As well as school is closed with this new flexibility the students

have to use the computer in order to send the different tasks for our evaluation.

You can see does not permit social group activities, cultural events, festivals, visit

to the beach, sports, etc. For me it is a different lifestyle following many tips or
rules

of prevention against this virus or disease.

Due to what is happening in the world, people just are very afraid. But

now I need to stay at home as much. In my mind I´m thinking “How long will my
life

be on pause”. For prevention we have to use the masks, wash my hands

frequently,

avoid touching my face ,cleaning my house and you maintain at leats 1 metre

distance between yourself and others. These are some tips to prevent Covid 19
transmission.

Finally, I think which we should pray and we trust in God a lot to stop virus.

As it comes attacking the health and I don´t see, it just is a silent enemy. . Covid

19 has made me feel very much disconnected from my friends. Because, people

are made to be out and socialize with others friends.
