The Roles and Responsibilities of Members of a Family as a Primary Social Group

To enjoy and sustain the family as a primary social group, each member has vital roles to play. The family is the source from which the society take its root. Children and adults learn responsibilities from home before they go out to the larger society to demonstrate it. An adage says “charity begins at home”.

General Functions of the Family

The following are the general functions of the family:
  1. Procreation: bringing new members of the family into the world for continuity of the family and the society.
  2. Provision: The basic necessities of life such as food, shelter and clothing are provided in the family.
  3. Moral Guidance: Training of the children in line with the acceptable norms of the society in good character formation.
