E hoʻomanaʻo kākou i ke komoʻana o nā kānaka i loko o ka nohona politika o ko lākou moku'āina. ʻO kaʻaeʻana i nā koho balota wale nō keʻaeʻia e nā poʻe i hōʻea i kahi mau makahiki a nui paha. Ma ka manawa like i Ancient Greece, no ka laʻana,ʻo nā kāne kūʻokoʻa a pau he 12, ua manaʻoʻia he mau makahiki. Ma ka hapanui o nā'āina hou, hiki i kekahi ke hōʻike i kona manaʻo a komo i ka koho koho waleʻana ma hope o ka 18 makahiki.
No laila, uaʻikeʻia he kuleanaʻole kahi keikiʻuʻuku, no ka pono o kona mau mākua. No ke aha heʻokoʻa nā kuleana o ke keiki mai nā kuleana o ke kanaka makua? A no ke aha e hiki ai kēia likeʻole? E ho'āʻo e hoʻomaopopo i kēia nīnau.
Ua like ke keiki a me ka makua i nā kuleana?
He mea maʻamau wale nō ka palena o nā lāhui a me nā moʻomeheu i nā kamaliʻi liʻiliʻi i ko lākou mau kuleana. Me ka likeʻana o ke kaulikeʻana, heʻoiaʻiʻo, ua liloʻoe i ka'ōpiopio,ʻo ka nui o nā pono āu e loaʻa ai. ʻO ka mea mua,ʻo ia ka mea e mālama ai i nā keiki, no ka meaʻaʻole lākou iʻike nui,ʻo ia hoʻi, hiki iā lākou ke hōʻehahewa i ko lākou mau ola a me ke olakino.
Eia kekahi, uaʻoi aku ka nāwaliwali o nā keiki ma mua o nā mākua aʻaʻole lākou e halihali piha i kā lākou mau hana. ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo,ʻo ka palena o nā kuleana o ke keiki liʻiliʻi e hiki ke pili like me nā hihia i hikiʻole ai i kāna hanaʻole a nele i ka hoʻonaʻauao ke hanaʻino i kekahi poʻe a iʻole ia iho. I ka hana,ʻaʻole kēia ka manawa maʻamau. I ka manawa pinepine hiki iāʻoe keʻike i nāʻano likeʻole,
I kēia manawa, ma nā'ōlelo kū i kēia manawa, mahalo mauʻia nā kuleana kūpono o ke keiki. I kēia lā, aia nā keiki a me nā mākua i ke kuleana, i ka paleʻana mai ka hanaʻino, i ka mālama maikaʻi, i nā pilina me nā lālā o kaʻohana a me nā kānaka pili, i ka nohona kūlohelohe, kino a pilikino no ka uluʻana, a mālama i ko lākou manaʻo .
