The Nuclear Family
The nuclear family is regarded
as the s d family form in
North America. There, children are supposed to leave home when they grow up and
taking care of their aged parents is not a m l responsibility. It is seen as a t t to the privacy and independence of
the household as well as an economic b
n. They have r t
communities and n ing h es. The nuclear family is popular in
societies that exist in h h
environments. For example, an Inuit family is usually in this family form. Their
family members depend on each other for survival during the winter in the vast w s of the A c. The nuclear family in i ial societies and families living
under harsh environmental conditions share certain s ties. In both c s, the family functions as a u t and must f d for itself. Outside help cannot be expected
in the e t of emergencies or d s. The elderly are not taken care
of if it is not f ble and life
of an orphan is p ous. However,
the nuclear family is well a ted
to a life that requires a high degree of g al mobility. It allows both the
Inuit and North Americans to move around easily to do what they need to do to
survive: to hunt animals and to hunt jobs respectively.
