Familism is a social ideology that emphasizes the importance of family relationships and the well-being of the family unit over individual interests. In cultures where familism is prevalent, family loyalty, support, and interconnectedness are prioritized, often influencing decisions related to work, education, and social life. This concept is often seen in various cultures, particularly in Latin America, Southern Europe, and Asian societies, where extended family networks play a crucial role in daily life. Familism can foster strong emotional bonds and provide a support system, but it may also lead to conflicts when individual desires clash with family expectations.
