SIX FAMILY FUNCTIONS The Family Service Association of America has identified six major functions all families should possess as a common denominator. In brief, they are: 1) The basic biological function of reproduction and transmittal of a family's special heritage and culture from one generation to another. 2) The provision for physical security and protection. 3) The achievement of enduring and deep emotional satisfactions; the provision of full opportunities for emotional, intellectual, social and spiritual development. 4) The development of socially desirable character traits or moral and ethical standards. 5) The maintenance of order; the distribution of money and other material things, including the division of responsibilities and tasks among family members. 6) The development of sound relationships between family members and the outside community. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
