How is being raised by natural parents related to culture? Is there a particular culture which promotes or disapproves of this?
- ip26 3y agoThe usual direction this goes is, some cultures place higher or lower relative value on parenting your kids, and some cultures are in practice rife with absent parents as a byproduct of what they value. edit: on rereading, I think the original comment about “natural parents” was trying to make a point about nature vs nurture, not about parenting.
- rexpop 3y agoSome "cultures" are just organs of a larger cultural superstructure, and they don't make sense to discuss in isolation.
- AnnikaL 3y agoI think they meant that studying children "not raised by their natural [i.e. genetically related] parents" is a way to tell that any differences are a result of parenting or culture rather than some other factor, like genetics or location.
