Kinship and Descent || with 100% Errorless Solutions.
Kinship correct answers Voluntary, non-overlapping membership. Each group typically consists
of a different collection of people. Multifunctional.
Kin terms correct answers Labeled categories or types into which people are placed.
Reflect the various norms, rights and duties, and behavioural patterns that characterize social
relationships between kinfolk.
Kinship terminology correct answers The ways which people classify their relatives into kin
terms.
Kinship principles correct answers Reciprocal terms
Importance of gender
Importance of generation
Side of the family
Reciprocal term correct answers Present in every kin.
Ex.: grandfather-grandson, mother-daughter
Importance of gender correct answers The gender of the individual to which the term is applied
makes a difference. This happens in the case of mother, son, father, etc., but not in the case of
cousin.
Importance of generation correct answers Kinship terms usually reflect whether the individual
referred to is of the same or a different generation as the person categorizing.
First ascending generation correct answers Your parents' generation.
First descending generation correct answers Your children's generation.
Side of the family correct answers Some kinship terminologies are constructed around what side
of the family the individual is from. In English, however, this is irrelevant; people from either
side of the family receive the same term without distinction.
Classification systems correct answers Eskimo, Hawaiian, Sudanese, Iroquois, Omaha, and Crow
Eskimo terminology correct answers It is the easiest for English speakers to understand. It is the
one most people are familiar with.
Most compatible with bilateral or cognatic kinship.
Hawaiian terminology correct answers It is the simplest because it uses fewest terms.
All of an individual's first ascending generation are called either mother or father.
All of an individual's generation are called either brother o sister.
Leaves out "aunt", "uncle" and "cousin".
Compatible with bilateral or cognatic kinship, but also unilineal descent.
