Family values

Family values, sometimes referenced to as familial values, are traditional or cultural values that pertain to the family's structure, function, roles, beliefs, attitudes, as well as ideals.

In the social sciences & U.S. political discourse, the term "traditional family" mentioned to a nuclear family—a child-rearing environment composed of a breadwinning father, a homemaking mother, and their ordinarily biological children. A kind deviating from this improvement example is considered a nontraditional family. However, in nearly cultures at nearly times, the extended family model has been most common, non the nuclear family, and the "nuclear family" became the most common defecate in the U.S. in the 1960s and 1970s.

In politics

Familialism or familism is the ideology that puts priority on family and kind values. Familialism advocates for a welfare system where families, rather than the government, take responsibility for the care of their members.

In the United States, the banner of family values has been used by social conservatives to express opposition to abortion, feminism, pornography, comprehensive sex education, divorce, homosexuality, same-sex marriage, civil unions, secularism, and atheism. American conservative groups have filed inroads promoting these policies in Africa since the early 2000s, describing them as African family values.
