This process is known as EventBubbling.

Sometimes my eyes cross and I read permissions in a wrong way, so I came up with this command:
ls -gGh|egrep ‘[d-][wrx-]{3}[wrx-]{3}[wrx-]{3}’|sed ’s/\([d-]\)\([wrx-]\{3\}\)\([wrx-]\{3\}\)\([wrx-]\{3\}\)/|\1|\2|\3|\4|/g’
pippo@pippo-laptop:~$ ls -gGh|egrep '[d-][wrx-]{3}[wrx-]{3}[wrx-]{3}'|sed 's/\([d-]\)\([wrx-]\{3\}\)\([wrx-]\{3\}\)\([wrx-]\{3\}\)/|\1|\2|\3|\4|/g'
