Differences in the Genders

In the modern Western culture, there has been a dramatic push for the neutralization of gender. One of the many claims involved is that men and women are not only equal, but identical in all ways except biological. While the physiological differences must be considered, other aspects in culture, psychology, and history must be inspected. Interestingly enough, studies have demonstrated that those who consider themselves "transgender" score far more similarly to their original biological gender than that of their preferred gender. Fascinating.  The Big Five (OCEAN) personality test is widely used, having been concocted from grouping thousands of traits into five basic and generic ones. It is often given to employees to determine how well they will match with various jobs, and is used professionally in debates. Overall, a well-established theory. In a study conducted, they set out to determine whether or not men and women have significantly different personalities, ...

The Family Model: More Than it Seems

If humanity were comprised of nothing more than a sum of its parts, we never would have survived. Consider how society runs, interdependently.

All of this in exchange for a bunch of paper. The family is the most basic unit of structure in society. It is by them that children are born, raised, and discover talents and purpose. Though we could, in theory, simply do as many of the animals and have little or no family, it would lessen our total value. Unfortunately, we suffer from individualism. Wouldn't it be lovely if we all just did our job and had a happy family life?  No. Dependence is different from interdependence. Through unique perspectives and the expression of our views, we provide necessary feedback to one another, ultimately assisting in our progres...

Parenting

Parenting is perhaps the most important profession in the world. There is not a person alive who has not been massively impacted by how their parents interacted with them. Adoption, step-parenthood, homosexuality, socioeconomic status… All of these can affect how a child grows and develops. Perhaps the most important indicator of a healthy child is the method with which they were raised. A child raised in a rich but ultimately (dare I say) abusive household is likely to experience more problems in life. Of course, not all parenting techniques are equal. In fact, I’d say that a majority of them are less than effective. In reference to the sheer number of children that are a byproduct of inferior parenting, I would estimate that most parents aren’t very conscious of their parenting styles. As mentioned in the Demographic Winter post, those with lower education and general morality are having more children than those higher up. Sadly, that means that those who could provide optimal pa...
