The correct answer is Family.
Key PointsCultural institution:

  • A cultural institution refers to an established pattern of behavior or organization that is characteristic of a particular society or community.
  • Family is a cultural institution because it is a fundamental social unit that is universal across cultures and plays a central role in shaping social behavior and communication patterns.
  • Families transmit cultural norms, values, and beliefs across generations, and provide a context for socialization and learning.
  • Communication within families also reflects cultural norms and values, and can vary widely depending on factors such as gender, age, and cultural background.
  • Trade organizations, political parties, and military alliances are not cultural institutions in the same sense, as they are typically focused on specific activities or goals rather than on transmitting cultural norms and values.
  • While these organizations may reflect and be influenced by cultural norms and values, they are not themselves cultural institutions.
