Signs of Dying with Suggested Cares. Appreciating the preciousness of human life, based on the understanding of one's body constantly changing, ageing, moving toward death since birth and the uncertainty of life helps us appreciate life and prepare for death. It is natural for one's body to decay especially when accelerated by disease processes.
In this description Murdock is describing a family structure called the nuclear family. The nuclear family is the most common definition of a family, which consists of two parents and their children. It was once considered ideal by society but is now facing a decline due to the rapid change of trends in society today. These trends in issues such as divorce and religion are some of many linked to the decline of the nuclear family in society.
Families are defined as groups of relatives who live together as a nuclear unit or are combinations of people who can be grouped together. 1  An example of families are mothers, fathers and childen who live in a neighborhood. When there are different species of plants that are all grouped together under the same taxonomic category, this is an example of different families of plants.
