How do you define 'family' and has that definition evolved over time for you?

A family is poeple who are realated to each other either biologically or through adoption, family are people who support each other for a lifetime.

I don't believe this should be a political question.

family is the people you surround yourself with and who you trust the most

I define family as a group of people connected by love, support, and shared experiences, whether through biological ties or chosen relationships. Over time, my definition has expanded beyond blood relations to include close friends and others who provide emotional care and trust.

Family are people who not also share blood but support each other. Family can also include close friends too.

people related to me that i enjoy to be around, it always as ive seen the topic

Family are the people related to you, blood is thicker than water and some such

I defined family as blood-related but over time, i have realized that it is the experiences you share with others that connect you to each other.4

Family to me is defined as a group (Typically biologically related) that identify with each other on a personal level.

Family is the people you love and who love you to most through thick or think family is the people who stick around for you blood or not

Blood is not thicker than water in the context of family.

Family is who you chose it to be, traditional values of family are not relevant in the modern age.

family is people who help you through hard times and who you care about

family is the people who raise you and you grow up around. I believe over time I've realized its not just blood relatives and you can gain "family members" through out all of life.

A family is a group of people who are related to each other biologically or through adoption. Typically a nucleus family consists of a mother and a father along with their children. However this is not always possible in some situations such as in single parent households or multifamily households consisting if grandparents and or aunts and uncles or even gay couples. As long as children are raised with love and care by the people responsible for them is what would define a family

Family is those you feel closest and safest with, regardless whether they're relatives or friends. People who you spend quality time with and can really trust.

Family can be chosen, or blood. A family is a community of people who respect each other and are willing to make choices or sacrifices in order to support and benefit their family. It is a undying loyalty even when you don't necessarily like each other. To me my family is the people I know will always be rooting for me even when no one else is.

Familialism according to literal definition means a cultural value that emphasizes warm, close, supportive family relationships that family must be prioritized over self, however this has changed over time as I view family as more of a strong support system that allows more emphasize on education, and to be in an economic stabilized environment while raising up their kids to be productive citizens of Canada. In this case, family should not only be limited to blood related members but a family can be those who someone can feel strong trust and a sense of respect also belonging knowing that they’re cooperating with safety laws and being able to live comfortably without worrying about violence or prejudice of any forms.

Your biological family, but also anyone who matters to you and you would consider close enough to call your family

I would describe a family as a group of people living in a home, with a mother and father in marriage overseeing the household.

I think for most of my life I've thought of family as comprising those people closest to you. The umbrella usually covers romantic partners, close blood relatives and adopted children but there is room for flexibility (very close friends can become part of the family, and wayward children can be kicked out of the family). One can limit the definition of family to only include blood relations, and while I think that's a perfectly valid definition, it's usually of limited utility (if someone asks you about your family, presumably they're interested in learning about the people closest to you, so what good is it to tell them about your estranged biological brother that you've not spoken to in decades?)

To me, family means unity and the strength and bond between members of a household that build the social structure of a nation. Something that is essential for future growth and internal strength.

My definition of family is everybody that I'm related to through DNA directly. I don't think this definition has changed over time.

A family consists of a husband, a wife, and their children.

Family is not always blood, but people who are there for you through it all.

A family has a mother figure to provide caring and a father figure to provide discipline.

I thought that family exists in order for us to spend an enjoyable time at first. However, as time passes, I started thinking that family isn’t only for that, but also it is so that we help each other when we get in trouble.

A family is a group of individuals that look out for one another, and love each other through the tough times. Over time, the roles have become less defined.

A group of close relatives who raised you and you live with.

I see family as a group of people who know you best and always have your back, regardless of blood relation.

I define family as a group of which you belong, and where the people around you love and respect your self interests and values as an individual.

A family should be a unit of a couple or single guardian with at least one child.

Family is not necessary legal or biological. Family is a type of community that surrounds and supports a person through their development and adult life. A family can be anyone who offers an individual emotional and/or financial support.

Family are those that you disagree with but will always sit at the table together none the less.

Family is a concept that is difficult to define as it can differ dramatically from person to person. I would generally consider family to be those one was raised with and alongside, as well as anyone else whom an individual chooses to consider family.

Family isn't necessarily defined by blood but by the bonds that hold the unit together.

Family is either family by blood or very close friendds.

family is the people you choose to be in your life no matter what issues arise. this definition changed over time by going from family is blood relatives to family is a choice.

Family is all the people you keep in your inner circle.

I choose my family. The friends I choose are my family.

Family is any two adults deciding to form a family, with or without children.

Is this the new "national socialism" or " Christian nationalism"? Either way it sounds like a disgusting dog whistle.
