3. a. Read the extract from an interview with a sociologist. What is the connection between family and society?

It's hard to overestimate (put too much value) the importance of family. It is the basis for stability [stəˈbɪlɪti] and confidence of its members in their future. And there is more to it. Whatever you call it, the cornerstone of society or its building block, family is of great importance for society. Families play a unique social role and the functions they perform can't be fully replaced. The institution of the family is the first form of community and government. History has shown that there can't be a strong nation without good marriages and stable ['steɪbəl] families. The famous Roman philosopher Seneca ['senəkə] even named family breakdown as one of the main reasons for the fall of Rome.
