    Actually, even if we are inclined to consider traditional values as reduced to the family values, some dramatic changes over the past decades lead us to conclude that the family itself as an institution is not built over unshakable fundaments. If we take into account, for exemplifying purposes, the new types of family structures, as cohabitation, gay marriage and single parents, "bonus children" and "bonus parents", it is easily perceived that the family looks different from what it used to do.

    The family preforms essential tasks that contribute to societies basic needs and helps to maintain social order (Giddens, 2009). Different societies have rules regarding who can marry who but the majority apply the incest taboo (a cultural norm forbidding sexual relations or marriage between particular relatives). Reproduction between close relatives could have negative effects of mental and physical health of offspring but Macionis and Plummer highlight the social reasons for the existence of this taboo. It minimises sexual rivalry within families by confining sexual relations to spouses. It forces people to form broader alliances by forcing people to marry outside their immediate families.
