Task 1
1. According to my understanding of the Word family, it consists of a group of
two or more people living together Who can be related by birth or adoption or
even marriage. In a family, all the descendants have a common ancestor.
We have a nuclear family which have two different types namely a basic
nuclear family and compound nuclear family. A basic nuclear family
compromises the father, the mother and their children. In a compound
nuclear family, the children do not have the same set of biological parents,
or it can be family involving a polygamous marriage.
Then in the extended family the children of the aunts and uncles are called
cousins. The relationship that one has with a paternal uncle’s child is
similar to that of siblings. They are one’s brothers and sisters.
3. The first quote taught me that there are different kinds of Family it can
be a nuclear family or compound family Meaning it can be monogamous or
polygamous.
The second quote taught me that a family can be a group of two or more
people which are related by a certain thing or a specific thing.
The third quote basically taught me that a family can be brought together
in terms of co-residence in simple terms meaning living together or it can
be by affinity which means a relationship.
5. Family members often serve as the first language models for children
influencing their linguistic and communicative patterns. This linguistic
influence is a significant aspect of cultural identity. Family socialises
individuals into the norms, customs and behaviours of their cultural group.
This includes teaching etiquette, rituals and social expectations which
contribute to the formation of cultural identity. Through interactions with
family members individuals develop their beliefs, attitudes and worldview
which are rooted in cultural practices and traditions even in nonbiological
or chosen families or adoptive individuals can still experience the same
cultural influence and the cultural connection as relationships also provide
a sense of belonging and the cultural connection.
