the informal networks that control our social institutions
and thereby determine the conditions of life for our families
and their children.”

C. Select one quotation from question number 3 and make a reflection about it. (Note: 2-3 paragraphs)

“Healthy children will not fear life if the their elders have integrity enough not to fear death.”

Good relationship with elders is what makes the children wants to feel and nurturing every
moment. Whatever the elders passes through their children, the beliefs, thoughts, and life
importance especially if the parents and children have a strong bond of relationship, children may
have the good values that they could get, the more they have the strong mindset about the life that
they have to understand.

Being molded with the parents or the elders may affect the moral values of the children. It is
important to always guide our children in every path and decision that they need to choose. Life is
not always there or existing forever, we should accept the truth that we pass and leave wherever we
are right now.
