A father is defined as the Male Parent of an offspring. According to anthropologist Maurice Godelier , a critical novelty in human society, compared to humans closest biological relatives ( Chimpanzees and Bonobos ), is the parental role assumed by the males, which were unaware of their "father" connection. Maurice Godelier , Métamorphoses de la parenté, 20041 The father is an ", " Paternalistic ", " Cult Of Personality ", " Fascist ", " Totalitarian ", " Imperial ". The fundamental common grounds between domestic and national authority, are the mechanisms of naming (exercise the authority in someone's name) and Identification . Authority typically uses such rhetoric of fatherhood and family to implement their rule and advocate its legitimacy. {Link without Title} In the 1869 Michelle Perrot 1990 ''A History of Private Life'' p.167 In the second part of that century, there was an extention of the authority of the husband over his wife and the authority of the father over his children, including "increased demands for absolute Obedience of children to the father". Europe saw the rise of "new ideological Hegemony of the Nuclear Family form and a legal codification of patriarchy", which was contemporary with the solid spread of the "nation-state model as political norm of order". Like Mother s, human fathers may be categorised according to their biological, social or legal Relationship with the child. Historically, the biological relationship Paternity has been determinative of fatherhood. However, Proof of paternity has been intrinsically problematic and so social rules often determined who would be regarded as a father e.g. the Husband of the Mother . This method of the determination of fatherhood has persisted since . As a result, the Law On Fatherhood is undergoing rapid changes. In the United States, the Uniform Parentage Act essentially defines a father as a man who conceives a child through sexual intercourse. The most familiar English terms for ''father'' include ''dad'', ''daddy'', ''papa'', ''pop'' and ''pa''. Other colloquial expressions include ''my old man''. CATEGORIES , Thailand . (January 2005).]]

Fatherhood defined by contact level with child
:A biological child of a man who, for the special reason above, is not their legal father, has no automatic right to financial support or inheritance.

INTERPRETATION BY RELIGIONS Christianity , Fatherhood]] The word Father is, by followers of the Christian religion, applied to God , whom they believe is Creator of the Universe and humanity and who, according to them, is also the Father of Jesus Christ . Father is also the title used almost universally for a Priest in the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Christian Churches. While not as widespread, it also had wide use in the Church Of England , other churches in the Anglican Communion , as well as for ministers in several other denominations, such as some Lutheran denominations. The term "Padre" is used for military chaplains, being Spanish and Italian for "Father". The terms " Abbot " and " Pope " also mean "Father." Some Protestants believe priests should not be called "Father" because Jesus said, "And do not call anyone on earth 'father,' for you have one Father, and he is in heaven" ( Matthew 23:9 ). Catholic & Orthodox Christians give this title to their 2:13.
The term "father" in the Old Testament was applied to priests (Judges 17:10) and Prophets (2 Kings 2:12, 6:21, 8:9), and Presbyters as "father" is maintained in the New Testament , as shown previously, leading one to believe Christ did not place a complete ban on naming men father when His own followers addressed others as such. The title ''father'' is also applied to certain influential early and Apostolic Fathers .

In such context the meaning of "father" is similar to that of "founder". See List Of People Known As The Father Or Mother Of Something .
