Document Summary

Topic: relatedness (kinship, marriage, descent, residence, commensality, friendship?) Human beings need relationships, but not the same forms of relationships with everyone. The ideal is for everyone to be treated the same but our feelings are not the same for everyone so there is a positive and negative to relationships. In the nature of loving the people we find special, we tend to exclude those who are not as special and thus may make them feel lonely. People also need to cooperate with others for economic or simply survival reasons. Society creates groups that cooperate, but the downside is that it creates competition between the groups for resources. Mothers are supposed to love their children, but some do not and that is a fact. Political economy of motherhood not only involves emotions but also the economy itself to have ways to raise the child. Motherly love is shaped by the political and economic context.
