Lesson Eleven: Life at Home

Family is a social group whose members are bound by biological, legal or emotions ties. My mother, sister and I (minus dad)  make up a family.

A nuclear family is a heterosexual couple, a mom and a dad, with one or more children living in a household. My family is a nuclear family.

Endogamy refers to the marriage of two people within a social group. Graham and Sally are the same race therefore it is considered endogamy.

Exogamy refers to marriage of individuals from a different social group. Sally and Sid are not the same race and are from different ethnic backgrounds.

Monogamy is the practice of being in a relationship with only one person at a time. This photo of Sage and Jacob portrays a monagamous couple in love.
