Summary
Traditionally, Family signified kinship. Today, However, Family include various relationship like adoption, pet, cohabiter and so on. It also has various form like nuclear family, single household, single parent family and so on. Family function to reproduce society through procreation, and also function to give individuals emotional stability and privileges.
Aging is the process of human’s biological and social maturation after birth. It is biologically and socially objective and also subjective because individuals experience different things, and individuals have different aspects of maturation process.
Opinion
Through this reading I learned Family have various form and It do not signify only kinship. I’m interesting and agree with this argument, But in korea many people do not recognize family have various form yet. For example, if a person live with pet and he/she do not has any kinship, people think he/she has no family. Because people adhere to traditional meaning of family, they do not understand various form and various lifestyle. I think we should attempt to change the recognition about family.
Question
If it do not match to individual’s biological and social age, What will happen to individual? I think if biological aging is slow it is beneficial for the person, and if social aging is slow it give disadvantage for the person. I want to more learn about its effects. What do you think about it? Do you have any idea?

Slow biological aging will help improve the quality of life because the person can actively work with a healthy body when he or she is older. However, if social aging slows down, there will be a negative impact because it is difficult to be recognized as a socially.
