Family, which begins with the individual’s birth and remains effective until the end of their life, shapes and directs the social development and behaviour of the individual in cultural, economic and social aspects as well as physiological. The family, which has many functions, includes features such as the socialization of those growing up, the sustainment of love, economic security, and population, and fulfilment of biological and psychological satisfaction functions. Additionally, the family passes on from generation to generation the material and moral values created in society from past to present.
