Answer 1

Firstly, the paper should be a specific direction. Are you trying to convience, argure, compare, inform, report or entertain. Secondly, who is reading the paper. Are they straight laced or laid back. should the paper be only factual or can it have a bit of humor?

The rule is to tell them what you are going to tell them in a declaration statement. Then tell them what you told them, with supporting information, like your survey results. Then tell them what you told them in the conclusion.

Did you answer the standard questions of who, where, when, why and how.

Child development..... Who was interviewed in your study, why did you select them, when did you interview them and what were they doing when you interviewed them? How did you come to the conclucion that personality is more genitc than nurturing.

Who supports your findings, Piaget, Erickson, use a reference with your statement.

A good conclucion would be to state that it is important to understand the child's background. If it is true that genetic is a stronger determinent of the child's personality then nurturing the parent could become frustrated and not understand the child at all. For the child, it would be confusing to be misunderstood and unaccepted. For the parent, it is painful not to understand your child.

Parents might want to be mindful of the adopted child culuture if it is not the same. The child should attend multicultural events to assist with self-understanding and self-acceptance.

This may be a way for the adopted family to express unconditional love. It tells the child, we know who you are and we love all the parts of you and your heritage and you should too.

It is typical to hear someone say, he is just like Grandpa George. If the adoptive child does not have the benefit of knowing Grandpa George or Uncle Ben, then who is he like.

Adoptive parent should be on guard to not attribute bad behavior to the biological parent and positive attibutes to themselves. A sprinkling of positive credit will help the child appreciate himself and his heritage.

So back to your question, support your conclusion with specific action parents should take as a result of your finding. What would you recommend parents to do with their nature or adoptive children that they may not be doing if they do not have the knowledge you have just exposed from your labouring empirical study?

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

I don't mean to be negative, but be very careful about that conclusion you've reached (particularly if interviewing only one family played a major part in your conclusion).

One important thing to consider is whether the African American child was adopted right from birth or shortly after.

I am the mother of three grown children - two biological and one adopted in infancy. I spent a lot of time studying up on this issue; and even now that they're all big I still read material related to the issue because I am concerned that too many people believe that genetics have a bigger role than they really have.

If you go to www.zerotothree.org there is material there about how the nurturing in the first three years of life forms brain connections that are unique to nurturing. If the right connections aren't made and wrong ones are it can do things like cause a person to always have an inappropriate brain response (and related brain chemical response) to things like stress. It can affect something like the functioning of the immune system.

Also, children are very prone to taking cues from parents. If the parents of this adopted child saw his biological race as a factor they would pass that on to the child and his sibling.

I have a family member who also adopted a child, and when the girl grew up and met with her biological family the whole bunch of them were extremely overweight; while the girl who had been adopted (at two) had been very slender all her life and remained that way into her thirties.

I think you should conclude your paper with "This is the conclusion I have come to, and here's why" but then include "Debate continues to rage over this question".

put your fist paragrah in with the last but change it up a bit and DO NOT WRITE IN CONCLUSION THAT IS A MAJOR NO NO
JUST SAY this is how child develpent in children has an effect on there lifes or whatever you wrote in the fist sentance paragragh you are just tieing everything you have written together and you want the reader to remeber what you wrote about the important things in your paper the major points.
good luck.
i have a hard time concluding mine too but this ideas are pretty much what my college professor told me to do.

As a gay guy, i will inform you there have been no demanding factors that made me gay. and you may get the comparable answer from 9,995 out of 10,000 people (the different 5 are nuts). baby abuse is non-consensual and hurtful.
