Scientists are finding ways to figure out more and more about children before they are born, such as the sex of the child or whether or not the child is diseased with a mental disability. The issue with this is that many parents are finding out the child is mentally challenged or the child is the opposite sex as they wanted, the parents are opting to abort the baby. Scientists have also found away to find the errors pre-born babies, and are now able to fix it. The problem is that by interfering with the babies before they are born could cause complications and affect the child in a poor way in the future. If you were to leave the issue alone no babies could be risked to be harmed or risk being aborted by their parents solely based on their gender.
In my opinion I feel that the counseling did not help Ludo because he still had embedded in his believe that he is a female. I disagree with Ludo’s mother’s behavior towards his gender confusion. I feel that she condoned his behavior and actually helped to let him believe that he is a female. I agree that Ludo was trying to find his identity, which is a normal phase that all children experience, however I think that it is the role of parents to help children find themselves by explaining to them their gender and what is the role that a person of that gender is suppose to follow.

There are so many people on government assistance, should they be allowed to continue to have children, over and over, when they clearly are not capable of providing for them? The list of reasonable questions could go on and on but clearly there should be a guideline set in place for entering parenthood, maybe it would stop uneducated, underage, and unwilling mothers from reproducing.
Children really need attachment figures that can provide care .Usually this would come in the form of a single care provider however there are certain circumstances were multiple attachments figures are needed in order to ensure basic survival. This would mean that evolutionary theory of attachment would be more applicable to Tina’s situation. As Tina would be too busy taking care of her child, she would not be able to buy herself the necessities needed to care for the baby as well as herself. This would mean that the father would have to be introduced into the relationship in order to ensure their basic future survival as the father may be able to provide these resources while the mother can

With high teen pregnancy rates, the lack of social exposure with homeschooling appeals to concerned parents. With a more controlled environment, and parents able to monitor their children’s activities it brings a sense of security. School administration as well as teachers disagree and argue that children who are homeschooled are not getting proper social exposure or education. Teachers feel that some parents lack the proper credentials to educate their children. Since there are no education requirements for those who choose to homeschool their children, this is a legitimate concern.
I will be examining the different reasons for abortion using some strong arguments as well as philosophical terms to help understand philosophically whether or not abortion is legal and justified or illegal and unjustified. I will also state a weakness as to why I would agree with philosophers Jeremy Bentham and John Stewart Mill using their criteria of consequentialism. Some moral and legal aspects of abortion point to some important arguments, whether or not the developing fetus from its beginning to birth has the ability to feel pain and have consciousness would argue one has the right to live or at least have their claim to live. Is the fetus a human being? What is a human being?

Some psychologists believe that stereotypes structure knowledge, others believe that stereotypes should be put to the side in pursuit of true knowledge, therefore affecting sex research. Both influence the quality of sex research, as well as the true data of it because both are based on the personal opinions of others.
Some experts believe that birth order is an important tool in shaping how you turn out as an adult. It determines how you see the world, how you expect the world to treat you, and how you treat others. Alfred Adler was the first theorist to suggest that birth order does influence a person’s personality. His belief, which is both accepted and rejected by researchers, is that the order or position of a child’s birth in the family influences their personality. However, what is often misunderstood is the fact that Adler did not believe it was simply the order of birth that influenced a child’s character, but rather it was the child’s environment, as well as their natural instinct or interpretation of their birth order which molded personalities.
