ABSTRACT
I n the last chapter changes in family relationships were studied as they manifest themselves in household composition. This will be concerned with questions of authority within the family, with some of the ideological concomitants of the traditional family patterns—such as the symbols of family unity and continuity, and the merging of individual interests and responsibilities in group interests and responsibilities—and also with the related topic of relationships within the framework of the wider kin group, the doozoku.
