The homeostasis of a family or system is a statement of what fit defined the family or system. It is not a statement that the fit was healthy or functional or good or positive. Homeostasis, conceptually, is neutral.
In biology, the term homeostasis refers to the ability of the body to maintain a stable internal environment despite changes in external conditions. The stability, or balance, that is attained is called a dynamic equilibrium; that is, as changes occur, the body works to maintain relatively uniform conditions. Controlling such things as body temperature, blood pH, and the amount of glucose in the blood are among the ways the body works to maintain homeostasis.
