Home and Family
In many ways the family is the most important of all human groups, because it is the basic unit which
transmit the biological traits of its member, mental abilities and emotional dispositions, and social heritage or culture of the group through the process of socialization. It is the child’s basic source of fundamental social ideas. It is where a child develops his basic attitudes, ideas, values and style of life. The family atmosphere which the parents provide may foster unity or disunity, it may stimulate competitiveness or cooperation, assertion or shyness, it may create friendship, acceptance and rejection or resentment. The individual perceives his different roles a enacted by his parents and siblings. He develops a conscience which evaluate and judges his actions.
