Main Ideas and Concepts
1. Concept, Position, and Function of the Family
Family Definition
- A special social community formed primarily on the basis of marriage, blood relations, and nurturing relationships.
- Distinguished from clans, tribes, and ethnic groups by its specific characteristics and basic relationships.
- Family members have clearly defined rights and obligations regulated by laws (e.g., marriage and family law, children’s rights conventions).
Basic Family Relationships
- Marriage relationship: The foundation for all other family relationships; legal basis for family existence.
- Blood relationship: Natural ties between parents and children, the strongest bond binding family members.
- Nurturing relationship: Care and education between parents and children, including adoptive relationships recognized by law.
Position of the Family in Society
- The family is the cell of society—the basic unit that reproduces and sustains society.
- It is a warm nest that provides happiness, harmony, and emotional support for individuals.
- The family acts as a bridge between the individual and society, transmitting social values, ethics, and knowledge.
- Family harmony is essential for personal development and social stability.
Functions of the Family
From a socialist scientific perspective, four basic functions are emphasized:
- Reproductive function: Producing new generations to maintain society and labor force.
- Nurturing and education function: Emotional, lifelong education rooted in blood relations, distinct from formal schooling.
- Economic and consumption organization function: Producing and managing material wealth for family sustenance and happiness.
- Psychological and emotional function: Satisfying emotional needs, maintaining family harmony, and nurturing personality development.
2. Bases for Building Families in the Transition Period to Socialism
