Document Summary

Birth order as a factor that had been linked to delinquency. Relatively influential book born to rebel by sulloway (1991). This book argued that that is in fact the case. That first born are said to be more conservative, more supportive of authority and also tougher minded than those born later within a family. Sulloway made this pronouncement that it is the case across different cultures and generations. He found that this was not the case, that sulloway"s pronouncement really had modest effects in limited domains in some societies. Sulloway had first thought to be the case. Other factors arguably are important other than just birth order. Parenting styles different parenting styles that have been linked to conformity or delinquency. No uniform way in which parenting takes place. Indulgent: supportive but not a whole lot of demands. Indifferent: parenting where there"s both rejection and lack of demands.

5. The real determining "discriminatory" factor in higher education today is

a.	"out of state" status

Traditionally, children born within a marriage were assumed to be fathered by the husband. Currently however, paternity testing is routine in the USA. For example in 1999 280,000 tests were conducted and in 28% of the cases the husband was not the biological father. Overall, about 5 to 10 percent of marital children are not the biological children of the husband (Santrock 2002).
However, although we have this information, most states have not yet updated their laws and men are required to continue supporting children they have not fathered. In fact, while criminal courts use DNA evidence as support of fatherhood, family courts do not acknowledge this scientific evidence (Santrock, 2002).

Within this context, consider the following questions:

What makes a parental relationship?
If biology is held supreme, what are the implications for adoptive parents? Same-sex parents?
Does the refusal to acknowledge scientific evidence reward women for deception?
Finally, what about the children?
