Good morning classmates and sir marfran, what I’m gonna discuss today is all about kinship and

different terminologies used in the concepts of kinship, determining norms and values to be observed in
interacting with other in society, and the consequences of ignoring these rules.

What is Kinship?

Kinship refers to the “web of social relationships” that humans as a par of family, which is the
smallest unit of society.

Web of social relationships mean is pagkakamag- anak, or the connection or relationship between
individuals. Society cannot exist without peoples relationship. Unsa gani to ang family sa society? Family
is the smallest unit of society.

So, I have here an example of kinship diagram. Please observe the diagram for 1 minute. So as you can
see this objects right here represents someone in the family.

This one represents male ego, ego means ikaw nga nag represent sa inyong family or kinship. Male ego if
lalaki ka, if babae sad ka kay female ego.

Also, this two represents the male and female of your family and so on.

Let’s move on, Fereraro and Andreatta of 2010 defined family as socioeconomic unit. Socioeconomic is a
social and economic unit that consists of one or more parents and their children.

A family where can have;

 One or more parents

 A family can have parents who are not married.
 ‘A family can have parents with the same gender. Or what they called same sex parenting.
 A family should have atleast one child.

TWO PRIMARY PURPOSE OF FAMILY

1. To orient the individual of the norms of the society. For example, pagmamano is one of the informal
norms. Diba atong mama or papa manjud una motudlo nato ana nga mag mano jud tas mga
katigulangan or mas tiguwang nato.

Sa formal norms sad, like laws, sila sad ang mo pahimangno nato nga ug mobuhat ka anang butanga
maka pa priso na.

2. To provide physical support as the individual mature. Means providing love, advice, financial, and
care. family manjud ang una maka provide ana aside from boyfriends and girlfriends.
IMPORTANT TERMINOLOGIES IN KINSHIP

1. Polyandry (po.lee.an.dree) – marriage pattern where in a woman is allowed to marry several men.

Kasagaran mahitabo in ani kay sa Africa where ang mga babae kay allowed makasal sa duha or
more men at the same time. Kita nga Christians dita pede ana kay naay kasulatan sa bible nga “each
man should have his own wife, and each woman should have her own husband”

2. Polygyny (puh.li.juh.nee) – marriage practice that allows a man to marry several women.

KINSHIP BY BLOOD (CONSANGUINEAL)

This means, related jud mo through biological. For example, biological relationship between parents
and children.

This referred to as descent – socially accepted connection between an ancestor and its succeeding
generation. A descent is a group in which all members share a common ancestor and each member is a
descendent.

DESCENT RULES

1. UNILINEAL DESCENT- socially accepted connection between an ancestor and its succeeding
generation. This is the link between the ancestors and descendants. It’s a system that determine
descent groups kung asa ka na belong, sa father or mother line ba. Under Unilineal Descent are;

2. MATRILINEAL DESCENT – an individual trace kinship through the female’s line.

3. PATRILINEAL DESCENT – an individual trace kinship through the male’s line.

1. CLAN – it is a group of people having common ancestor. For example, my family’s surname kay
deiparine, so part ko mi sa deiparine’s clan. Surname na sa akong papa ang deiparine, nga gikan pas
iyang papa nga akong lolo nga gikan pajuds, lolo sa akong lolo and so on. So clan is a group of people
having common ancestor.

2. PHRATIES – by the word expansion or expanding of related clans or a clan or kinship group consisting
of a number of families claiming descent from a common ancestor. For example, usa ka tribo nga
nagconsist ug daghan nga clan or families but still they are related and they have common ancestor,
pareha ra sila tanan ug ancestors.

3. MOEITY- so pareha sa phratries ang moiety kay a group of clans or families pud but but they don’t
descent from a common ancestor. It means di sila related, di sila parehag ancestors.

4. BILATERAL DESCENT – so it is a trace of kinship that ties on both matrilineal and patrilineal discent.
