Introduction

This page is intended to list responsibilities of and toward individuals, communities, and institutions (subdivided into groups such as children, youth, and adults, men and women, seekers and Bahá'ís, parents and children, etc. as well as into categories such as responsibilities toward children in education, treatment, etc.)

It is hoped that this page will be cross-referenced as appropriate with the subject and time pages at least. See *Protagonist vs. subject for a discussion of how these pages differ from Subject categorizations.

Ideas for uses and subcategorization of protagonist pages

This section deals, unlike most pages at this site, not with the Writings, but with ideas as to how the Protagonist pages can be used or its pages subcategorized.

• Protagonist functions (Is the information pertaining to the Protagonist indicate him/her/it as an instrument, agent, etc.?)
• Protagonist point-of-reference (including hypotheticals) (e.g., for the parent page, "responsibilities OF parents" vs. "responsibilities TOWARD parents")
• Source of goal-idea (e.g., is it from 'Abdu'l-Bahá, our own goals, our professor's suggestion, etc.? (this Bahai9 site in most cases uses only the Writings as sources, but one could add these other sources using the same pages as templates for adding one's own notes))
• Concern-focus of inquiry or plan toward protagonist (e.g., "how to treat older people")
• Protagonist relationships (the protagonist in relationship to other protagonists: its position in hierarchies, priorities, etc.)
