POST1 Relationships

                                 Relationships

Relationships are how people are connected whether it's by blood or by friendship. Relations are how we interact with people based on the experience and knowledge we have with one another. It is also dependent on where you are from aka culture.

Subcategories-

Kin regulations, Family relationships.

Cultures I would like to investigate-

Waroa located in South America (258),  Kerala South Asia (789), Aranda Australia (171)

The reason I chose relationships for my topic is because it can apply to most aspects of a culture, for example when someone is considered an adult in some families, parents will have them move out to be on their own whereas in other regions parents will take care of their children after college until they have a stable job. Or another example is I know in other countries America is known for being very prone to kinship where other places it is seen as an intimate thing not to be done in public. Which just fascinates me.

The Aranda have given their own name to a kinship type in which marriage is enjoined with a classificatory mother's mother's brother's daughter's daughter.  A recognized rule is that when a woman...

  Warao           The Waroa Indians are located in South America and inhabit the labyrinthine arms of the Orinoco Delta of Northeastern Venezuela. They are fishermen and incipient agriculturists. " "Warao" is an auto denomination meaning "lowland people" or "marshland people" from WAHA, "lowland," and ARAO, "inhabitant people." " Some interesting facts about the Waroa are what they often sell when trading. They sell handmade hammocks and huntting pets such as dogs, parrots and macaws.  Also known as canoe people. Kin Relations  Unlike in other cultures children aren't taught through formal instruction but rather by example. Both parents tend to show affection to infants but for the most part older siblings would be in charge of routine child's care of their younger siblings. Children aren't counted as a "human being" until about the age of 4. There is a complete set of affinal kinship terms that structur...
