Lesson 9

Parents

Parents are the one who have offsprings,

or the one that occupies the role of mother

or father. In Western societies, parenthood

rests strongly on biological relatedness with

its several obligations. This is not the case in

all societies. In some, a distinction is made

between a biological parent and social par-

ent. Basically, being a parent means raising a

child with nurture and love.
