In many modern countries, people think of a family as a mother, a father and their

children. But this is not the only kind of the family group. In some parts of the world, a

family group has many other members. This kind of large family is called an “extended

family or a “joint family

The joint family includes all living relatives on either the mother‘s or the father‘s side

of the family. It is made up of grandparents, parents, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, and

cousins. They live together in a large house or in huts built close together.

Early people probably lived in joint families. They had to be part of a large group in order to

survive. The members of the group helped each other hunt. They worked together to protect

themselves from dangerous animals and other enemies.

In China, people lived in joint families. When a son married, he and his wife lived at

his parents‘ home. Unmarried daughters remained at home until they married. Chinese

children felt very loyal to their parents. Younger members of the joint families always took

care of the old ones.

In India and Africa, some people still live in joint families. The members of a joint

family share their earnings and property. If one member of the group becomes ill or has bad

luck, the others help the person. As in the past, the members of the joint family offer each

other help and protection.

Family is where we all (36) ______ to and from where our identity comes from.
