Birth Order Trait

Birth order is just one of many factors that influence the ways in which this competition is expressed. By itself,competition among siblings does not cause birth-order differences in personality. But birth order is a powerful proximate (environmental) source of sibling strategies. These strategic variations arise because birth order is correlated with differences in age, physical size, power, and status within the family. These disparities cause siblings to experience family relationships in dissimilar ways and to pursue differing ways of maximizing their parents’ investments in their welfare.

The environment that a child is raised in plays a big part in how their personality will  develop. Consequently many child will exhibit different character traits and characteristics depending on their birth order or if they are an only child. Of course birth order doesn't guarantee that your first child will have all or even any of the traits typically associated with  a first child; but birth order tends to accentuate character traits that your child already possesses. Of course if there are large gaps between your children or you have one boy in a family of girls you might have overlapping birth order characteristics.

First-born children desire control and they will typically become a compliant nurturer or a more aggressive mover and shaker. Thats right.As my brother is a first child,he is a quite aggressive but nice person.He is consumed with following the rules and is a high achiever.  He takes a good care of his siblings and very responsible brother. He can also be bossy.

The middle child will demonstrate the greatest variety of character traits, but they will usually be opposite of their older sibling. As the middle chlid, i will try to be unique, so that my parents could recognize my own talents. Middle children often feel stuck in the middle so take time to listen will help empower them and make them feel special.

Youngest children are usually very different from their older siblings My youngest brother tend to be more social and funny. He doesn't have as much responsibility and are more carefree. He is also often driven to catch up with his older siblings and follow in their footsteps. It is important that parents still enforce the rules when their youngest comes along. It is easy to just let things slide, but once it starts it is hard to stop. My parents often baby their youngest child because he is the last one. Thats why he become more childish. But it is important to teach responsibility, and also need to applaud their accomplishments.

I'm one of the fanatic MICHEAL JORDAN!!!!

For the new entry, i want to introduce to all of you who don't know the person named Micheal Jordan...{@_@}

Michael Jordan was born on February 17, 1963, in Brooklyn, New York, one of James and Deloris Jordan's five children. The family moved to Wilmington, North Carolina, when Michael was very young. His father worked as a General Electric plant supervisor, and his mother worked at a bank. His father taught him to work hard and not to be tempted by street life. His mother taught him to sew, clean, and do laundry. Jordan loved sports but failed to make his high school basketball team as a sophomore. He continued to practice and made the team the next year. After high school he accepted a basketball scholarship to the University of North Carolina, where he played under head coach Dean Smith.

In Jordan's first season at North Carolina he was named Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Rookie of the Year for 1982. The team won the ACC championship, and Jordan made the clutch jump shot that beat Georgetown University for the championship of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Jordan led the ACC in scoring as a sophomore and as a junior. The Sporting News named him college player of the year for both years. He left North Carolina after his junior year and was selected by the Chicago Bulls of the National Basketball Association (NBA) as the third pick of the 1984 draft. Before joining the Bulls, Jordan was a member of the Summer 1984 United States Olympic basketball team that won the gold medal in Los Angeles, California.

By adding such players as Scottie Pippen, Bill Cartwright, Horace Grant, and John Paxson around Jordan, the Bulls' management created a strong team that won the 1991 NBA title by defeating the Los Angeles Lakers. The next year, the Bulls repeated as NBA champions by beating the Portland Trail Blazers. In 1992 Jordan also played on the "Dream Team," which participated in the Summer Olympic Games in Barcelona, Spain. The Olympic Committee had voted to lift the ban on professional athletes participating in the games. The team easily won the gold medal, winning their eight games by an average margin of 43.7 points.

Jordan retired for a second time in 1999, ending his career on a high note just after the official end of a labor dispute between NBA players and team owners. Many people saw him as the greatest basketball player ever, and his retirement was called the end of an era. In 2000 Jordan became part-owner and president of basketball operations of the Washington Wizards. This made him only the third African American owner in the NBA. He also gained an ownership stake in the Washington Capitals hockey team. Also in 2000, Jordan celebrated the first year of his $1 million grant program to help teachers make a difference in their schools.

He was also distracted in January 2002 when his wife Juanita, whom he married in 1989, filed for divorce. (They have three children.) The next month the divorce was called off. Jordan said he planned to play one more season for the Wizards.

Do you think we should give monetary incentive to the KP2 students to motivate them to get better grades?

KP2 students is also known as students who get CGPA below than 2.0 in two times and will be suspended or known as FO which means Failed and Out when they get KP3.

From the issue above, I am totally disagree if the university wants to give monetary incentive to the KP2 students to motivate themselves to get better grades. For me, this is not the right way and it will even worsen them.

Firstly, they will spent the money in other way round and not in education area. Let imagine that we are the KP2 students. Do we want to spent them in the right way? My answer is no.Logically, I will enjoy with the money to release my stress about having KP2 position. 

Second, I think that the university administration is just wasting their money to give these students the money. It will resulted badly to the university back,if the students doesn't get better grades. Instead of giving monetary incentive to them, they can do motivation talk to them which will be better way. From the talk, they can get some spirit to improve themselves and knows what to do to have a better grades. So,this way is not wasting the admin's money and even benifits them
