House
A house is a building lived in by people. The word "house" may also refer to a building that shelters animals, such as a lemur, especially in a
zoo. It generally has
walls and a
roof to shelter its enclosed space from
precipitation,
wind,
heat,
cold, and other elements. Domestic
pets and "unwanted" animals (such as mice) often live in houses.The social unit that lives in a house is known as a
household. Most commonly, a
household is a
family unit of some kind, though households can be other social groups, such as single persons, or groups of unrelated individuals. Settled agrarian and industrial societies are composed of household units living permanently in housing of various types, according to a variety of forms of
Land tenure. English-speaking people generally call any
building they routinely occupy "
home". Many people leave their house during the day for
work and
recreation but typically return to it to
sleep or for other activities.
