Fox & Luxton (2014) explores the concept of family through multiple approaches; structural functionalism perspective, the feminist approach, and the evolutionary psychology approach. The reading also questions the characteristics of the constructed “family” – whether the notion of family should only encompass biologically relations, or can it extend to non-biological people who has provided unlimited emotional and personal support (Fox & Luxton, 2014, p.3). As well, Fox & Luxton (2014) examine the historical and social trends associated with the concept of family. Families used to be refer to a mother, a father and their children. However, this definition is becoming more and more outdated as society is constantly changing. Fox & Luxton (2014)
