First Born Child Analysis

According to Alfred Adler, the birth order of the children in a family will largely affect how they age and the personalities which they will form. First borns enter the family as the only child. They revel in the love and full attention from their parents, that is, until the second baby comes along. Suddenly, first borns are dethroned and lose the undivided attention they are used to receiving. As a result, they tend to develop a strong sense of responsibility and protectiveness over their siblings at an early age, which often leads to them becoming authoritative adults. Moreover, when there are multiple children in the family, parents will set high

M. Farouk Radwan, MSc., notes that first-born children who are used to getting all of the attention until the second child arrives may develop feelings of jealousy because they blame their younger sibling for their dethronement. If properly developed, the first born can acquire positive qualities like strong leadership traits and being responsible. However, poor development can lead older siblings to manifest jealousy or

Toler developed a list of common personality traits that first, middle, youngest, and only children would have and then lets the readers decide for themselves if those traits fit what birth-order they identify with. Although the personality traits that I identify with did not match my birth order, I still found Toler’s idea that birth order shapes who we are to be true. The section talking about only children, rang the most truth to me because I have a cousin who is an only child and she fits Toler’s description of an only child perfectly. I feel that Toler was effective in getting readers to agree with her idea, which is why she wrote this

I tend to over analyze every situation and put too much pressure on myself to excel. I am a motivated individual who believes in working hard to achieve my goals. I can often get lost in a crowd and will often trust people too easily to a fault. I try to be friendly to everyone and I am not quick to judge. I am unselfish and try to put others before myself.

The documentary Babies by Thomas Balmès is a film that takes place in four very different locations around the world. The documentary follows four babies and their families from when they are first born as they grow up and are able to walk. We watch Ponijao grow up in Namibia, Bayar grow up in Mongolia, Hattie grow up in San Francisco, and Mari grow up in Tokyo. Because the babies are from such different places, the documentary allows us to see what it is like growing up in cultures that we are currently unfamiliar with. The film opens up your eyes to the various forms of living in other areas around the world. In this paper, I will discuss the universal themes I noticed, my personal reflection of the film, the various

One of them being conscientiousness. Conscientious people are very driven and orderly. They set goals and firm plans to achieve these goals. Rarely are they spontaneous or disorganized. My score within the Big Five Personality Profile was moderate for conscientiousness. I would say that I do exhibit some of these characteristics. I can be very organized and reliable. As a weakness, I find that I am not always a self-starter. I will set goals and stick to them, but need that push from others to get started. For instance, I was given the opportunity to work on an exciting new project at work that involves direct feedback from employees that I would personally deliver to upper management. This would be a big responsibility as I would be representing hundreds of employees and voice the current concerns of our group. I was asked to think it over. While processing the position, three others volunteered and I lost out of the opportunity. I took my time and wasn’t as organized in my decision making, therefore I missed out greatly.

however with support and hard work from my team members we won the first ever medal for the team. I find it difficult to work under tight deadlines and so I have a habit to plan out things, prioritize them and then solve them one by one. I have always been the greatest critic of myself. I introspect a lot, analyse my mistakes and try to work over them. I am a quick observer of things and people’s behaviour. This really helps me to understand the other person’s state of mind and I steer the conversation accordingly. As a result I am not really comfortable with strangers who are difficult to predict and this is one area where I would like to work on in the future. I also don’t like to look at things from a distance and give any arbitrary solution. I try to understand the core of the problem and try to look beyond the obvious.

My classmates, peers, and friends would describe me as diligent, focused, and friendly. Diligence shows the most when I’m doing something that I love or something that I want to complete. I show diligence every day at ballet, along with my hard work at school. Diligence shows not only because I know that I am expected to perform well, but also to impress myself. I find myself constantly looking at my work and finding all the miniscule details that bother me, even if it isn’t necessary. I tend to show my focused side more when I’m at school, ballet, or when I am under pressure. With my focused mindset, I find myself getting more done, and helping others out in any way possible. Finally, friendliness appears when I’m with classmates or meeting new people. If I’m participating in an event or something that I enjoy, my friendliness helps counter my fear of meeting new people, therefore making experiences more likeable.

I am first born in my family which mean I should be cautious, controlling and an achiever. I do not see myself as any of these, in fact my brother fits this description more than me. I think I have more traits of an only child last born. In my opinion I feel the rolls would be flipped. The oldest is more of an attention seeker because they are use to having all the attention, they had to find friends rather that being born into having a friend making us outgoing and it is not like the oldest has never manipulated their younger siblings into thinking that they were adopted. The youngest is more cautious because they have seen the consequences the oldest has gotten from doing something bad, which would also make them the achiever of the family after seeing what their sibling have already done they have the chance to one up the

I choose this passage because I thought it evidently portrayed the theme of Parent child. Here we can see that Miriam is sacrificing herself for Laila and her children, and take the blame of murder.Although they weren’t related, they have became loyal to each other and supported each other in hard times. For example, Mariam has killed Rasheed. Laila doesn’t blame her and call her a murderer, instead, she helps dispose of the body and even wants, insists on taking part of the blame. To begin with, Mariam was like a mother figure for Laila. Laila’s mother wasn’t much of a mother when she was alive. She was always worried about her sons and was in a state of depression for most of the time she was alive. While Miriam was filling this role of her

Through completing this exercise, I have been able to see how these traits relate to my previous experiences in college. I have been seen as brave by other people, a trait I had not thought to define myself as. In tough situations, I am courageous and stand up for what I believe is right, even when I am in the minority. My bravery has also allowed me to fight and strive to keep good grades in school, and make it into the pharmacy program when others doubted me. My quality of staying organized has allowed me to make time for events that are important to me and fit them into my daily life. My planner has kept me in line and allows me to balance my heavy school load, along with work, and time for family and friends. Even though I am an extremely busy person, I am always on top of things, early, and prepared. However, the flaw of being “too organized” is that often times when there is an abrupt change in my schedule I have a hard time coping with that, which is why I was described as inflexible. Although there are many things that people see

I am smart but sometimes do really stupid things; like writing this sentence in a job

While some believe in miracles and others do not, Albert Einstein said it best when he claimed “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” This quote holds true by looking at those faced with life-changing events. On April 27, 2014, 16 people were killed by violent tornadoes in Arkansas. When interviewed, most of the survivors thanked God for saving them. He or she thanked God for giving him or her the opportunity to survive. On the other side of the issue, people have a tough time trusting God after a school shooting or mass murder sprees. Many feel betrayed that God would take loved ones away and not prevent the incident. How can one believe in God if

I am a pretty well rounded individual although not perfect by any means. Throughout my life, I have always tried my best to be friendly to everyone and optimistic in all situations. I don’t think anyone would ever describe me as a critical or aggressive person. I’ve always been willing to give advice and be encouraging to anyone that I felt needed it. I believe that I am a fairly conscientious person in that I have always been careful and diligent when it comes to work and other life choices. I’ve always been organized and usually don’t act on pure impulse alone. I’ve never been described as traditional or conventional. I’ve always been open to new experiences and relish every opportunity that can make me a more well-rounded person. People would also describe me as a fairly intelligent individual with a vivid imagination. My weaknesses, however, would have to include my ability to develop people and team process. I’ve always been encouraging, but I can improve upon my ability to develop people by providing feedback to individuals on their performances and recognizing individual contributions when I am part of a team.
