The Importance Of Differences In Education

“Twins have been the heart and soul of the nature versus nurture debate for over a century” (Plicher 1). Scientists and psychologists believe that because identical twins share 100% of the same genes, that studying twins, would benefit in proving the theory. Twins that are separated at birth end up living in different environments. Because they grow up differently, scientists and psychologists are able to analyze the genetic and environmental influences that shape the twins personalities. Even though the discussion of the nature versus nurture topic has not yet been proven, some feel nurture wins. The study of twins contributes to the debate of nature versus nurture and whether the environment or genetics affects the development of personality.

The Minnesota Twin Registry started in 1983 and its goal was to establish a registry of all twins born in Minnesota from 1936 to 1955 to be used for psychological research.., T.J. Bouchard, working in conjunction with the University of Minnesota, started exploring the similarities and differences in characteristics like personality, career interests, and a variety of personal interests between identical twins who were reared apart. Research was conducted on twins from all over the world. The Minnesota Twin study gave scientists a new insight of the role of nature vs. nurture on human development and personality; it was the hope that twin studies would be able to tie genes to specific behaviors. From the study, we understand that twins who were separated at birth and raised in different families

The effects of being a twin is determined by more than a few factors, individuality, physically, comparison, competition, Physiological and emotional. From the moment twins are born, they are inseparable. They live together, have the same gender and even look the same, however the effects of being identical twin has a long run effect on their future of social relationships, allowing them to have a hard time finding themselves as individuals. One of the effects twins must deal with as their growing up is individualism, just because their twins and were born on the same day and share same physical, and similarities. People tend to forget that their two-different people and they both often get treated as one person. They both are two different human beings with separate goals, mindsets and different personality. The effect that causes the same treatment to both can have a negatively impact on them by having an impact in their self-image and the ability to develop a strong self-identity. One thing that is important is that most of the twins have a strong

Parents who dress their twins up in the same outfits or get them the same set of toys does not contribute to twins who have the same traits. It shows that a common environment does not give much impact in developing personalities. Mischel (1981) has also attested to this issue saying that genes and glands are different, but social learning plays a dramatic role. People develop vast differences through the stimuli they face in their daily life. Despite being reared in the same environment (their home), both twins could have had different sets of friends. Thus, going through their school years having different experiences and facing different challenges. As a whole they will have completely different hobbies and interests.

The most pressing public policy issue affecting my community is educational disparity and inequality. Education is the key for racial equality, yet the federal government continues to neglect the educational discrepancies that plague various African American communities. Opportunities that are not offered to African American students are a microcosm to the present struggles minorities endure. The continued growth of the Black middle class since the 1960’s has serve to expand the social and educational advancement of black students. However, recent reports show that an increased number of minority high school graduates in urban settings suffer from inadequate school and educational conditions. Since the 1964 Civil Rights Act that prohibited

According to the Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences department at John Hopkins University, extensive studies have been done on twins and families, to display the finding

Twins are sought to be an interesting set of individuals and many questions can surround the theories of twins and their IQ, mental states, and the psychological tolls it may have on them and their families. Many parents can barely handle a singleton and would find twins birth a more challenging surprise. Some people believe that the IQ and mental state of the twins could come from their birth rate which at many times is low or the family dynamic for which the twins are raised. Many twins depend on each other in order to learn and develop which could have some advantages and disadvantages among their growth. Singleton children may have older or younger siblings or surround themselves with a group of different types of age groups and grow from there, but twins are at times more of a loner and like to stay among each other which have been my experience with my twins. Identical twins as oppose to fraternal also has an effect of the psychological and IQ of each of them. Fraternal twins are more like singletons for the most part because they do not share a egg where as the identical twins( which is have) develop differently and have a closer bond because they share the same egg and were actually a single egg that was split into two eggs.

This video was very interesting. Twins have many things in common. They are physically, mentally, and emotionally connected.

Even though heavier babies of the twins are dominant, it doesn't mean the other is weaker. There were these two boys that were like babies, and when one was hurt then the other would scream. "It's like the same person has been examined

When studying twins, researchers mainly study identical twins because they strive to see the influence of nature and nurture on the traits of these identical twins. One way of doing this is by splitting the twins up at birth. Obviously, the twins are going to share genotypes and so they are going to has similar influences of nature, but researcher aim to see if interests, habits, and skills are influenced more by nature or nurture. By splitting the identical twins up, it is easier to see which trait is influenced by either nature or

A controversial topic that has stumped everyone to have a certain opinion on is whether it is a good or bad idea to separate twins or triplets apart to see how they live life.

Scientists and psychologists everywhere study twins. The argument most commonly studied is nature versus nurture. The focus of this essay, however, is whether or not to separate twins in schools. Some believe the separation is demeaning and traumatic to the twins. The side about to be proved however that is this separation is a necessary step in the individualization of twins. Often, separation sparks the path to individualization.

Based on the movie “Baby Geniuses“, our team have come up with some supportive ideas by three journals which are “The Relative Effect Of Nature And Nurture Influences On Twin Differences” by Karl J. Holzinger, “ The Origins Of Intelligence In Children” by Jean Piaget, and “Relationship Among Processing Speed, Working Memory, And Fluid Intelligence In Children” by Astrid F. Fry and Sandra Hale. The synopsis of the movie start with Dr. Elena Kinder, CEO of the BabyCo Corporation, has formulated a method of child rearing which is the Kinder method meant to produce exceptionally intelligent children. To demonstrate its superiority, she arranged for a pair of identical twin boys to be born to a surrogate mother. One of these twins, Whit, was adopted by Dr. Kinder's niece, Robin, and raised as a normal child.
