This week I'd like for us to discuss the different styles of
punishment in schools. Many parents/teachers are worried about the
state of discipline in schools these days (e.g., kids acting up in
class, bullying, bringing guns to school).
List 1 style of punishment (e.g., time out) that is used in
preschool and kindergarten classrooms. This style can be one you
have seen, one you use, one you've heard of, anything!

Coercing people into donating their eggs for surrogacy definitely mirrors the discussion of kidney sales. I know adoption can be expensive, just like surrogacy. The only dramatic difference I can see between adoption and surrogacy, is that in surrogacy you are getting a child that is actually yours, biologically. An adopted child is not biologically from you, but a desired child nonetheless. Do you think the adoption process is treating children as a commodity ?

Critical Thinking Activity: Early Temperament Style and Later Adjustment Problems
Now that you have read and reviewed Chapter 7, take your learning a step further
by testing your critical thinking skills on this scientific reasoning exercise.
A study by Caspi and others (1995)* revealed that temperamental style in early
childhood might be linked to adjustment problems during adolescence. The study
involved a cohort of 1,037 children born between April 1, 1972, and March 31,
1973, in Dunedin, New Zealand.
At ages 3, 5, 7, and 9, the behavior of each child was rated in terms of 22
aspects of temperament, including emotional stability, restlessness, self-reliance,
persistence, negativism, passivity, shyness, self-confidence, emotional flatness,
and 13 other dimensions. To assess behavior problems in the sample, the
researchers relied on outcome data from teachers and parents who rated the children
at ages 9, 11, 13, and 15 on two widely used behavior problem checklists.
These checklists included subscales measuring anxiety/withdrawal, which represents
feelings of inferiority and failure; attention problems, which reflect difficulty
in concentration skills; conduct disorder, which reflects aggressiveness and
alienation; and socialized delinquency, which reflects norm-violating tendencies.
For both boys and girls, lack of control at ages 3 and 5 showed a significant
positive correlation wth teacher and parent reports of antisocial behavior and
conduct disorder at ages 9 and 11. In addition, boys and girls characterized as
lacking in control in early childhood were less likely to be rated in adolescence as
mature and confident.
The authors suggest several possible explanations for these intriguing results.
One is that certain temperamental characteristics in young children are actually
early, “subclinical” manifestations of more extreme behavior disorders. Whatever
the correct explanation, the results of this extensive study suggest that early temperament
may have remarkably specific predictive validity for the development of
behavior problems during adolescence.
