Concept in Definition ABC

The notion of fraternity is one of the most interesting in terms of the different types of ties that characterize the human being. Fraternity can be described as the bond that unites two brothers and that supposes, in addition to the blood bond, an endless number of emotional and psychological connections that they have to watch with the parenting context, with lived experiences, with personalities, etc. Fellowship can also often be felt with people with whom a blood bond is not necessarily shared, but many emotional life experiences are shared.

The concept abstract fraternity always implies the notions of union, of I respect mutual and accompaniment. While all these features are those that make the relationships between siblings (or should do to them), the bonds of brotherhood can be extended to non-consanguineous relationships in which all these elements are present. Many philosophical and historical currents, such as the socialism or the communism among many others, they resort to a notion of fraternity whereby the different members of a society act together and united for the common good.

Following this idea, fraternity can also be a institution in which the members that form it all occupy the same place with only some upper members periodically. Fraternities are like this organizations that are characterized by being formed and directed by people with common ties (blood or not) who come together with a specific objective. They are very typical in American universities and schools in which they represent a group more or less large of people who oppose others and who establish a whole system of symbols, rituals, forms from thought and ceremonies.
