again not about the giants, but....

ok this time im going to write about the author Frank Sulloway and his book Birth Order and Sibling Competition. In this book Sulloway makes the claims about the fact that birth order has to do with the personality diffrences between siblings of diffrent ages. He contends the fact that siblings who are born first, second, third and so on are affected diffrently simply by whichever birth order they happen to stumble into. What sulloway is claiming is that "40% of total variance in personality is genetic" ( Sulloway 2007 298). so what Sulloway is saying is that my personality is based purely on the luck of my genetic make up and which birth order i happen to fall into. This question can be answered, in my opinion by one simple word, and in my opinion that word is yes. So basically i think that Sulloway has the perfect idea, my personality is based on my familys genetic history and my birth order, i definently believe i am more of a dominant person because i have a younger brother, and thats the way my father was. i beleieve sulloway has the completely right idea, and more people need to be looking at things like this.
