citizens”. At these centres older men and women can make friends and
participate in a variety of planned activities.
So, what exactly is a family? Our ideas on the subject may tend to be
ethnocentric, for they are often based on the middle-class “ideal” family, one
that consists of a husband, a wife, and their dependent children. This particular
family pattern, however, is far from typical. A more accurate conception of the
family must take account of the many different family forms that have existed
or still exist both in America and in other countries.
We may say, then, that the family is a relatively permanent group of
people related by ancestry, marriage, or adoption, who live together, form an
economic unit, and take care of the young.
