Does birth order influence your life adjustment? The author Mr. Lucille Forer states that birth order is an important part of someone identity in his or her family’s position. Parents usually expect their oldest child to the more capable and more responsible than the younger children. The middle child is more responsible than his younger children. However, the youngest child may be less able to do many things. Even though I agree with the author’s opinion, I also think people who can do their best to achieve their dream are most important elements influence their life adjustment.
Mr. Forer said “Parents usually expect their oldest child to be more capable and more responsible than the younger children.” I agree with this part. I think how your parents think about you, how you would think about yourself. When the parents go out and left the children at home, usual they do not worry a lot, they think oldest child can take care of the younger children. For the oldest children, their will think they have the responsible to take care well of their younger brothers of sisters. The youngest child is less able to do many things than the other people. Their think that everybody should take care of them. So the birth order influence people’s life adjustment.
In contract, in our real lives there is not always older child have more abilities and responsible. For example, couple weeks ago I saw the movie Gattaca. The main character, Vincent, who is the oldest child in his family, but he has short, hear problem and probable be not able to live over 30 years old. Even though he is oldest child in his family, but his parents do not look he important in his family position. The reason is that Vince has less capable and less responsible than his younger brother. Vince has a bad situation, but we can see in the end, he also catches his dream. Because he overcome his every difficult and set his mind achieve his travel space dream. That is humans’ spirit, also it influence everybody to learn to him. Thus, I think the people who do their best to achieve their dream is the most important factor influence people’s life adjustment.
In conclusion, even though birth order is important part of identity in our family position, we can not to change our birth order, therefore we can do our best to prove it, nothing is impossible.
