Whois & Analysis for familytoday.com

In the context of human society, a family (from) is a group of people affiliated either by consanguinity (by recognized birth), affinity (by marriage or other relationship), or co-residence (as implied by the etymology of the English word "family") or some combination of these.

Members of the immediate family may include spouses, parents, brothers, sisters, sons, and daughters.

Members of the extended family may include grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, nieces, and siblings-in-law.

Sometimes these are also considered members of the immediate family, depending on an individual's specific relationship with them.

A parent is a caregiver of the offspring in their own species.

In humans, a parent is the caretaker of a child (where "child" refers to offspring, not necessarily age).

A biological parent is a person whose gamete resulted in a child, a male through the sperm, and a female through the ovum.

Parents are first-degree relatives and have 50% genetic meet.

A female can also become a parent through surrogacy.

Some parents may be adoptive parents, who nurture and raise an offspring, but are not actually biologically related to the child.

Orphans without adoptive parents can be raised by their grandparents or other family members.

An intimate relationship is an interpersonal relationship that involves physical and/or emotional intimacy.

Physical intimacy is characterized by friendship, platonic love, romantic love, or sexual activity.

While the term intimate relationship commonly implies the inclusion of a sexual relationship, the term is also used as a euphemism for a relationship that is strictly sexual.

A community is a small or large social unit (a group of people) who have something in common, such as norms, religion, values, or identity.

Often - but not always - communities share a sense of place that is situated in a given geographical area (e.g. a country, village, town, or neighborhood).

Durable relations that extend beyond immediate genealogical ties also define a sense of community.

People tend to define those social ties as important to their identity, practice, and roles in social institutions like family, home, work, government, society, or humanity, at large.

Although communities are usually small relative to personal social ties (micro-level), "community" may also refer to large group affiliations (or macro-level), such as national communities, international communities, and virtual communities.
