They tend to create a common subculture.
As the members of the family enjoy life together, playing their various role relations, they tend to create a common subculture where a member is made to feel aware of his role through a long period of socialization during childhood. He learns the rudiments of proper behavior and he develops the traits necessary for proper interaction in a complex society. His family serves as a guide and gives him impetus to seek his rights and comply with his obligations.
Constitute the foundation of a larger social structure.
The family is made up of individuals who are also part of the large social network. Thus, the family constitutes the foundation of the larger social structure. All other institutions depend on its contribution because it is within the family that responsible citizens are first developed.
