Union of Subset of Family is Subset of Union of Family

Theorem
Let $I$ be an indexing set.

Let $\family {A_\alpha}_{\alpha \mathop \in I}$ be an indexed family of subsets of a set $S$.

Let $J \subseteq I$

Then:
 * $\ds \bigcup_{\alpha \mathop \in J} A_\alpha \subseteq \bigcup_{\alpha \mathop \in I} A_\alpha$

where $\ds \bigcup_{\alpha \mathop \in I} A_\alpha$ denotes the union of $\family {A_\alpha}_{\alpha \mathop \in I}$.
