The South often appears the most familistic, with southerners being more positive about marriage and less positive about divorce and nonmarital childbearing (Trent & South, 1992).
But, it is arguably a common characteristic of all traditional economic systems to emphasise the role of the household and of familistic groupism, with such a concern often extending beyond the immediate family to broader groups such as clans, or arguably castes as in India, or even a nation as a whole as has been argued for modern (and partly New Traditionalist) Japan (Murakami, 1984).
It is the old patriarchal arrangements, the familistic socialism, cloaked in tradition and religion, which implies that individuals should help their kin, their people.
