The passage is mainly about the ----.
Humans are preoccupied with vitality; that is, a concern
with the generation, transmission, continuation and
protection of life itself. The obvious social tie formed
around this preoccupation is the family. However,
numerous individual families of a nation understand
themselves to be just that; thus, the continuation of the
nation into the future is regarded as entailing the
continuation of the families into the future.
Anthropological studies reveal that humans have always
formed not only families, but also larger groups of which
families are a part. Parents transmit to their own
offspring not only their flesh and blood – genetic
properties in a broader term – but also their cultural
inheritance; the language, traditions, customs and so
forth – of the larger group, of the nation. This cultural
inheritance is usually viewed by the parents as being
quite precious to their existence. This intergenerational
transmission of one’s culture may be part of the reason
for the tendency to view the nation as a form of kinship,
because what is being transmitted is a part of one’s self
to one’s descendants.
