Abstract
The American family has been both criticized and lauded; it has not really been studied as a culture-making institution. When the concept of culture is applied to the analysis of the character and function of the family, it appears that in American family life today there is a decrease in the practices which create consensus and a moral order and an increase in individual freedom and disorganization. Both ideals of freedom and consensus need realization.
