Summary Introduction

Introduction

A nuclear family consists of two adults and their children. This is what many people refer to when they casually discuss “their family.” An extended family includes grandparents, aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, and their spouses. Most Western families live as nuclear units, but subcultures within Western societies may not adhere to this custom. Many Eastern cultures value living with extended family systems.
