Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "filial obligation" refers specifically to the responsibility that adult children have to care for their aging parents. While there may be social and economic factors that contribute to the decision to care for an aging parent, the term "filial" specifically refers to the family relationship between parent and child. Religious obligation may also be a factor for some individuals, but it is not as universally applicable as filial obligation.
