Family: A family is any group that is bound by biological, legal or emotional ties. This can be diverse in the eyes of sociologists.
Nuclear Family: The nuclear family is your typical 1950's representation of two heterosexual white parents with one or more children. This is a stereotype and does not reflect the diversity of families living across the globe.
Endogamy: This is a marriage between two people from the same group in life. It is mostly a religious thing. This shows a picture of two cats marrying each other. Endogamy stems from the beliefs that other groups, religions, or races are not equal to the other persons so therefore you must marry within your own social group.
Monogamy: This is a type of marriage where there is one husband and one wife. They are in a legal bond with each other to be committed to each other only. Monogamy is the only form recognized legally in western culture.
Homogamy and Propinquity: These ways that we find our mates state that "like marries like" referring to the same race, education, social status, even attractivenesses, etc. Also that we tend to pick those in relatively close proximity to ourselves.
