Family Concept Map Overview and Key Branches

A concept map about family shows how family is organized as a social unit. It usually starts with the main types of family, such as nuclear, extended, single-parent and blended households. From there, it branches into the roles members play, the bonds that hold families together, and the outside forces that shape them, including culture, economics and community.

  • Family types: nuclear, extended, single-parent, blended and others
  • Roles: parents, children, siblings and caregivers
  • Bonds: kinship, marriage, adoption and shared households
  • Influences: culture, economy, religion and government policy

Use a family map to revise for a sociology or health class, or to plan an essay. Create a personalized version from your own notes with CogniGuide.
