This lesson will seek to explain the variations in family residence that exist around the globe. In doing so, it will specifically highlight the patterns of nuclear and extended residence, while citing some reasons for both.
Family and Norms
Growing up, I had a friend that lived in a house with both her parents and her grandparents. Coming from a home that consisted of just my mom, my dad and my siblings, this sort of seemed odd to me. Making it more odd to me, my grandparents lived hours away. Yes, I loved them and really enjoyed their holiday visits, but the idea of living with them was not at all within my paradigm. This is true because I grew up under a very different family system model, which just so happens to be the topic of today's lesson, nuclear and extended family households.

Before we get into defining these terms, there's one thing we need to nail down. When we're discussing these two family systems, we'll be generalizing. For instance, when we discuss the nuclear family unit, we'll be discussing it amid the context of being a norm, or an accepted rule of behavior in society. For example, the Western world of the United States has traditionally seen the nuclear family as the norm; however, just like my friend who lived with her grandparents, there are definitely exceptions to these rules.

With this in mind, let's first define what anthropologists mean by family. In the scientific sense, a family is a social or economic unit that consists of at least one parent and their children. Now, notice this definition doesn't make any mention of whether or not the people within a family reside together. For this reason, we have to look at our two terms, nuclear versus extended family households.

Nuclear Family Households
Being very familiar to most of us, a nuclear family household consists of a single parent or a couple residing with their unmarried children. Historically, the nuclear family has been what the modernized world thinks of when we think of family. We see them all over TV, and they fill our movie screens. However, although they seem to be very commonplace to us, nuclear families are rather rare in the non-industrialized world.

To explain, many anthropologists would assert that nuclear families tend to exist in industrialized and commercialized societies where individuals trade money for labor, goods and services. With this transfer of money for labor and such, couples are usually able to be self-sufficient, not typically needing to lean on grandparents or aunts and uncles and such. Even as I say that, please remember we are speaking in generalities, focusing on the traditional cultural norms of the very modernized West. With the idea of a nuclear family being rather familiar to most of us, we'll move on to the extended family households.

Extended Family Households
An extended family household consists of more than one couple and their offspring residing together. It can be a young couple residing with the groom's parents, or it can be the other way around. It can be two brothers living together with their wives, or it can be two married sisters moving their families in with their mom and their dad.

Adding to this, it can also be one man married to different women, all living together under one roof with their many children. Conversely, it can be one woman living with her two husbands and their collective children.

本课将解释在家庭住宅中存在的全球变化。在这样做时，它会特别强调核模式和扩展的住宅，同时引用一些原因。
家庭和规范
成长，我有个朋友住的房子与她的父母和她的爷爷奶奶。来自一个家庭，包括我的妈妈，我的爸爸和我的兄弟姐妹，这样我觉得很奇怪。更奇怪，我的祖父母住在小时。是的，我爱他们，真的很享受他们的假期访问，但是生活的想法与他们根本不在我的范式。这是真的因为我长大了一个完全不同的家庭模式下，这正是今天课程的主题，核和扩展的家庭。

在我们开始定义这些术语，有一件事我们需要明确。当我们讨论这两个家庭系统，我们将推广。例如，当我们讨论核家庭单位，我们将讨论在被规范的背景下，或可接受的行为规范在社会。例如，美国的西方世界在传统上认为核心家庭为准则；然而，就像我的朋友们和爷爷奶奶生活在一起，肯定有一些例外。

牢记这一点，让我们首先定义什么学家所说的家庭。在科学的意义上，一个家庭是一个社会或经济单元，包括至少一个家长和他们的孩子。现在，注意这个定义没有提及是否在一个家族的人居住在一起。为此，我们需要看看我们两方面，核和扩展的家庭。

核心家庭
是我们最熟悉的，核心家庭的家庭由单亲或居住与他们的未婚子女的夫妇。从历史上看，核心家庭已是现代化的世界认为，当我们想到家人。我们看到他们在电视和电影屏幕，他们填补了我国。然而，尽管他们似乎对我们非常普遍，在非工业化世界的核心家庭是相当罕见的。

解释，许多人类学家都认为核心家庭往往存在于工业化和商业化的社会里，个人的金钱交易的劳动，商品和服务。这种资金转移劳动力等，夫妇通常不能自给自足，通常不需要依靠祖父母或叔叔阿姨等。即使我说，请记住我们是泛泛而谈，针对非常现代化的西方传统文化规范。随着核心家庭是大多数人相当熟悉的想法，我们会继续扩充的家庭。

家庭
扩展家庭包括一个以上的夫妇和他们的子女居住在一起。它可以是一个年轻的夫妇居住在新郎的父母，也可以是其他的方式。它可以是两兄弟和他们的妻子生活在一起，也可以是两姐妹结婚移动他们的家庭和他们的妈妈和爸爸。

补充，它也可以是一个男人娶了不同的女人，都住在同一屋檐下自己的孩子。相反，它可能是一个女人带着她的两个丈夫和集体生活的孩子。
