Family can be defined by many things. Many people believe family is when two or more people are related by blood, marriage, or adoption. Some people believe that a Consanguineal family (where those in the family are related by blood) is the true means of family, while I myself believe family should be more like a Conjugal family (where people are related through emotional bonds). I believe family should not always be determined by blood, and that it is extremely important for society to embrace different interpretations of family. Family is at the base of every functioning society, and is crucial for humans emotional, physical, financial stability. It is at the very core of human nature for us to feel accepted, loved, and secure among our own kind, and  having strong bonds with those we consider family give us this.
Family is blood, an emotional bond, people you trust, people you would do anything for, but most importantly family is with the people you love.

In my opinion, I think that family is a group of two or more people who care for and love each other no matter what the circumstances are. This could be friends/siblings/parents, etc. I think that family is based on actions rather than simply the home or people that you are born with.

Family is a group of people who you can depend on. They are a group of people who care and love you for who you are, who don't judge your actions or decisions. You can relay on your family to help you in your difficult times and be with you during your good. Family can make you feel safe and secure when around them.

In my opinion, family is the people who care the most about you, your well being and your success, blood related or not. Your family is the people who stick by your side through all storms, and love you no matter what.

Families are complex, they are all different. They overcome challenges and they accomplish together. The individuals within a family may or may not be blood related but they have a strong connection. Their relationship is built upon love and support.

In my opinion, family is a group of people who are either related by blood or marriage or just really close friends whom you love and care for. A family is not always defined as a biological connection, I believe it is just the people you love and are close to who you consider to be your family. It's the people you love unconditionally, the people you find comfort and safety in. The people who are always there for you no matter what the circumstances are. These are the people you choose to keep close to your heart.

Family are not ones whom you are necessarily blood related too, but who are supportive of you, loving, trustworthy, etc. The characteristics of family are different for everyone. Some parents are separated, some are together, some do not live with their biological parents. My family consists of blood relatives and close friends.

Family means the ones you love and the ones that you choose to keep closer than others. Personally, I believe family does not have to be blood related. Family can be anyone you consider very important in your life that you know you can turn to and give trust to. Whether a parent, guardian, a sibling, aunt or uncle, or even a close friend, family is someone you love.

To be apart of a family you do not have to be blood related. A family is a group of people that you trust, communicate with, respect, and most of all love.

Family is different to every individual , family is a place where an individual finds comfort in where they belong. Family are the people that show you love,compassion and support through the good times and the bad. Family helps to shape you into who you are whether the influences are good or bad. Families are very diverse and can often be defined by their  race,religion,size ,sexualittes etc. Families in society are mainly defined by their wealth or poverty they are also defined by how well people in society know them. A family can be more than just a mother, father and son , it can be two mothers or two dads, it can have children or no children , pets or no pets and it also can include  non blood related people. Family is the upbringing  of an individual that helps them to find themselves

Family to me is people who live together or are related to one another. (Not always blood related) With family you carry a certain bond with each person that can't be described. It has just been there for as long as you have known them. When you are surrounded by the people you love, it gives you that sense of security which makes you feel comfortable around them in any circumstances. They have a huge impact on your life and you can always count on them when you need it.

Family can be seen as something completely different for everyone. It is typically shown as a group consisting of two parents and their children living together as a unit. However, people do not necessarily need to be related by blood to be a family. They could be related through adoption for example or through emotional bonds.

Family is defined as the initial contact you have with other people throughout your life. It is generally referred to as immediate family (the one’s you live with). There is no one definition of what a family is, as it can be defined in many different forms.

The definition of a family can be defined in several ways focusing on several aspects, however many would agree that it consists of a number of people who have close relations (although are not always blood related) that all live in the same household and have regular communications with each other. These people that are in a family also have emotional bonds to each other and care and protect your wellbeing.

Family simply can be defined as a group of individuals who are related and live together. But it goes deeper than that, family is all about support, love and care. The dynamics of your family will help you define yourself, you base your identity on the ones that surround you. Family is a group of people you feel comfortable and safe around, they are the foundation of who you are. We go to family for physical and emotional stability. At the end of the day, family are the people you know you can count on.

The family to me is a collection of individuals (not necessarily blood related) that we develop bonds with and build relationships with. We grow to care for those we consider family and choose to spend time/ be with them. They're people that have a large, mostly positive impact in our lives and whose daily routines and lifestyle integrate with ours.

I would define family as a bond between people that grows with age. A bond that brings each other to a deeper understanding of each other than others, when you can sense the emotions and support them without a word being spoken. A family is trying your hardest to do whats right to help each other through hard times and raise each other to their most potential. Family isn't always defined by blood family is a bond you make with those who have a large impact in your life. Family is someone you are close to that helps you and supports you is there for you when you need them and come to you when they are in need, they are always there to congratulate you on your success and even though there may be tension in a family at times they still will make sure that you are happy even if it upsets them. Family includes pets who are there for you for emotional support and will give you hugs if you are sad. It includes friends who always are there for you, who understand you. Family is not as simple as those you are related to by blood but also those by marriage and those by a family bond. For many Family is not blood but strangers who work their hardest and care for them and became their family. yes you are born into a family by blood but this family only grows as your life continues.

There can be no solid definition for what a family is. Everyone has a different definition. A family can be any combinations of things but one thing a family is, is a tight unit that holds one another together and shares responsibility with maintaining the well-being of the group.

Family can be defined in many different manners depending on who you ask, though to me it is the people whom we are the closest to. The individuals who are by our sides through both the good and the bad times, no matter the case, they support you. These individuals may be blood related such as parents, siblings or grandparents, though they do not have to be. Friends can also be family, as well as pets. Family are the group of individuals we come in contact with entering our lives, and they are by our sides for life, continuously growing and changing. Being at the centre of our hearts as well as the centre of all functioning society.

Family is the group of people that are closest to you. They share both emotional and physical connections and have an unbreakable bond. These people care about the others health and well being sometimes more than their own and will go out of their way to make sure the others are healthy and looked after at all times.

Family is the group of people that you surround yourself that you can confine in and feel like you belong. This does not need to be blood. Friends are also included into the definition of family because of how close those bonds can be. To me a family is defined purely as a group of people who all care about one another's well being. There does not need to be children or marriage involved at all. Then on the other hand in a legal sense the word family means any two people who are together for a long duration of time having one or more children.

Family, to me, is the most important thing in society, it is your greatest teacher and the thing that sets you up for the rest of your life. I think Family can be defined as being a social institution made up of [a]
parent[s]/guardian[s] and one or more children.
