The relationship is then separated into two subsections based on relationship type and behavior evaluation, and finally classified into several categories based on behavioral content. Lastly, the third section explores the special nature of the parent-child relationship, and the ethics and viewpoints of family ties. Chapter V discusses the concept of brotherhood, first divided into two sections, “deep affection” and “shallow affection,” separated by relationship type and behavioral evaluation, and lastly classified into several categories based on behavioral content. Chapter VI deals with marital relationships, separated into seven sections based on relationship type and behavioral evaluation, with each of the seven sections divided into several categories.
