Families with a linear family and kinship pattern are usually patriarchal and emphasize the goals of
a. the group over those of individuals.

c. children over those of adults.
d. individual members over those of the group.
A
When the family has a linear pattern, it usually consists of the nuclear family in addition to hereditary, linearly extended family members (i.e., grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins). The welfare, continuity, and goals of the hereditary family take precedence over those of the individual family member. The linear family is usually patriarchal, places a strong emphasis on the enculturation of children, and greatly respects elder family members. The goals of the family take precedence over the individual members.
