Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Extended family and ancestor worship are common in many societies that place a high value on their elderly population. In these societies, the elderly are seen as important sources of wisdom and guidance, and their opinions are often sought in political and public matters. Ancestor worship also places a strong emphasis on the importance of the elderly, as it involves honoring and respecting the spirits of one's ancestors and seeking their guidance and blessings. The other choices do not necessarily emphasize the value of the elderly or incorporate ancestor worship as a cultural practice.
