Life at Home


This is a family. To be specific, it's my family! We are a family because we are bound by biological ties. 


This is an example of a kin because it's my parents, my brother, my grandparents, my aunts, and a cousin.

A nuclear family consists of a mother, father, and their biological children.

Endogamy is when someone marries someone within their social group. My brother married an 
Armenian, Christian girl, which is the expected type of marriage in the Armenian community.

My cousin, an Armenian Christian, married someone who is an Arab Muslim. This is not an accepted or typical type of marriage in an Armenian community! It is an example of exogamy.
