Son

The Latin word filius came into Spanish as a son . This is how an animal or a human being is called with respect to its parents.

SonWhen two people have a child, he is the descendant of both. Take the case of American actor Michael Douglas . Born on September 25, 1944 , his parents were the artists Kirk Douglas and Diana Dill . This means that Michael Douglas is the son of Kirk Douglas and Diana Dill .

Children can be biological or adopted . Biological parents are those who father their child through a sexual relationship or with the assistance of some assisted fertilization technique. Adoptive parents, on the other hand, assume the upbringing and care of the biological children of other individuals. Beyond genes, a biological child and an adopted child deserve and need the same attention and love from those who assume the role of parents.

An individual is also called a son with respect to his city, his province or his nation . For example: “Although Lionel Messi lived a large part of his life in Spain, he is a son of the city of Rosario,” “I am a son of this land and I am grateful to it,” “This singer is a son of London, even though he achieved fame in Italy.”

In some regions , their most prominent natives are recognized with the title of Favorite Son . The poet Pablo García Baena , to cite one case, was declared Favorite Son of Andalusia in 1988 .

In the same way, we cannot ignore the existence of what is known as the prodigal son. Specifically, this term is used to refer to the offspring who decides to return to the parental home after a period away from it.

Precisely the best-known use of this concept is found in “The Bible”, since one of its most famous parables revolves around it.

In the context of Christianity, finally, Son (written with an initial capital letter) is the second person of the Holy Trinity : according to this belief, God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit , three divine persons in the same essence.

Likewise, we have to establish that within the world of culture the term son is widely used to give titles to different works. A good example of this is, for example, the song “Hijo de la Luna”, popularized by the Spanish group Mecano.

It was in 1986 that this composition, written by José María Cano, came to light, which was included in the album “Between the sky and the ground” and which would later be covered by different artists, such as the soprano Montserrat. I rode

In the cinematographic field, we find several films that have the word in question in their title. This would be the case, for example, of “The Bride's Son.” In 2001, this Argentine film directed by Juan José Campanella and starring Ricardo Darín and Héctor Alterio was released.

It tells the story of a man separated and overwhelmed by work who has put aside his personal commitments. However, he will try to fulfill the dream that his mother has for him before she dies: getting married.
