I don't quite get the difference between a pack & a family. The typical family has parents, grandparents, babysitter, teachers, etc who all play an alpha roll within the family. When no one is taking on that type of roll, the young ones rule the roost & there is caos. Herds have leaders, birds have a pecking order. Even in every group of people, leaders emerge whether voted into an office or not. It just happens.
I don't mean to imply that abuse is ever in order. I certainly had many rules, boundries & limitations that I had to live up to growing up, but I'd never accuse my parents of abusive behavior.
So are we getting really really technical over definitions of words to be politically correct? |
