Not surprisingly, there is a vocabulary that comes along with the sociological study of the family. Let\u2019s walk through these important terms: Kinship is another way of thinking about family, but normally in a broader way. Kinship ties are all of those found in families\u2014blood, marriage, adoption\u2014but in a somewhat extended way. Marriage is a relationship between individuals\u2014usually two, but not always\u2014that entails both a social and legal status. It is often understood as a religious status, but that is just one of many social possibilities. When we think about nuclear and extended families, we are talking about the people we actually live with. A nuclear family is made up of an adult and or adult couple, and their children. An extended family is one that goes beyond those two generations or that includes, aunts, uncles, cousins, and so on. A family of orientation is the family into which a person was born, while a family of procreation is the family one creates via marriage, childbearing, and/or adoption. Monogamy is marriage/relationship between just two people at once. Polygamy is a form of marriage/relationship that allows for multiple partners. Polygyny, multiple women, is more common than polyandry, multiple men. 5.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
