Son

Male offspring

A son is a male offspring; a boy or a homo in relation to his parents. The female counterpart is a daughter. From a biological perspective, a son constitutes a starting time degree relative.

[edit]

In pre-industrial societies and some current countries with agriculture-based economies, a college value was, and nevertheless is, assigned to sons rather than daughters, giving males higher social status, because males were physically stronger, and could perform farming tasks more effectively.

In China, a ane-child policy was in consequence until 2015 in guild to accost rapid population growth. Official birth records showed a rise in the level of male births since the policy was brought into police. This was attributed to a number of factors, including the illegal practice of sex-selective abortion and widespread nether-reporting of female births.^{[ commendation needed ]}

In patrilineal societies, sons will customarily inherit an estate earlier daughters.^[ane]

In some cultures, the eldest son has special privileges. For example, in Biblical times, the beginning-born male was bequeathed the most goods from his begetter. Some Japanese social norms involving the eldest son are: "that parents are more probable to live with their eldest child if their eldest kid is a son" and "that parents are virtually likely to live with their eldest son even if he is not the eldest child".^[2]

Christian symbolism [edit]

Among Christians, "the Son" or Son of God refers to Jesus Christ. Trinitarian Christians view Jesus equally the human incarnation of God the second person of the Trinity, known as God the Son. In the Gospels, Jesus sometimes refers to himself as the Son of Man.

Semitic [edit]

The Arabic word for son is ibn. Because family unit and beginnings are important cultural values in the Arab world and Islam, Arabs and most Muslims (e.thou. Bruneian) often use bin, which is a form of ibn, in their full names. The bin here means "son of." For instance, the Arab proper noun "Saleh bin Tarif bin Khaled Al-Fulani" translates equally "Saleh, son of Tarif, son of Khaled; of the family Al-Fulani" (cf. Arab family naming conventions). Accordingly, the opposite of ibn/bin is abu, meaning "the father of." It is a retronym, given upon the birth of one'southward first-born son, and is used as a moniker to indicate the newly acquired fatherhood status, rather than a family unit name. For example, if Mahmoud'due south first-born son is named Abdullah, from that point on Mahmoud tin can exist called "Abu Abdullah."

This is cognate with the Hebrew language ben, as in "Judah ben Abram HaLevi," which means "Judah, son of Abram, the Levite." Ben is also a standalone name.
