How Your Birth Order Influences your life Adjustment.
According to the article “How Your Birth Order Influences your life Adjustment” by Lucille Forer the birth order have a significant in each family because depend if is only child, oldest child, middle child or youngest child. The family took certain role in front of this is that to say the behavior and attitudes change for each child.
The oldest child develops a personality very independent because the parents give him more responsibilities and put more pressure on him. The parents think the first child should be obedient and take responsibilities for their actions. The middle child has less responsibilities and liabilities their parents have more consideration with them and take care most than older child. The youngest child has all attention from his parents and family. The parents try to put all interest about him because the youngest child is not independent enough and requires more care.
In my opinion, I agree with this article because I saw the example on my family. They always care more about their youngest child and give more preferences. My uncles have three children, two girls and a boy. My aunt put her all attention in the youngest girl and my uncle put his all attention in the middle boy so the oldest girl have all responsibilities and she has to take care about his behavior not to be a bad influence on his brothers. On the other hand I think this not correct because sometimes oldest child have to carry with all liabilities.
In brief, the position of each child into the family is different and has more or less attention. Each child develops its own personality according as they are treated. Children can be influence in their independence.

McDonald’s Crew Member. (Page 24-27)
This profile is about Kysha Lewin. She is sixteen years old. She goes to Red Bank Regional High School in Little Silver, New Jersey. Now she is in tenth grade. She decided to work because she wants to help her mother. Her mother did not have enough money, and it’s difficult for her to pay the bills. In addition, she wanted to have money for could have fun and to go out.
She went to McDonald’s and talked to the managers. She got the job. First she needed to know the register. While she learned, they were patient. She likes to follow directions. She always tries to keep busy because McDonald’s is always busy. She has to be careful with everything going on around. She tries to give the best service to customers.
McDonald’s has rules but it’s not hard to follow them. Employees have to be aware that the workplace is kept clean. They have to sweep and mop every hour. She feels comfortable with this. The other rules are the basically you are not supposed to be late. The rule she thinks is dumb is that you have to be sixteen to make fries. And she wishes she could work making sandwiches, but she cannot until eighteen. People who do this job don’t have problems whit the customers.
Finally, she works twenty hours a week. After she turned sixteen she wanted to work more hours but her mother doesn’t want her to because she says Kysha needs to take care about her school. She makes five-fifteen an hour so she gives her mother half of her check. She is happy with her job and enjoys what she doing, but in the future she wants to change the job and have something better. She loves kids and hopes to work in the hospital with the little babies. She’ll always be grateful to McDonald’s.
I like this profile because she likes what she does and the way she wants to help her mother. She is very a confident and optimistic person. Personally, I believe it’s very important that people enjoy what they do. I had an experience two years ago in a bad job. This job was in a Hair Salon. I had to attend people who came in and I had to give directions about what they had to do also I had to responded calls and made appointments for many people. Sometimes the place was pretty busy and I took time to attend several people at once. The manager was so rude and he was not polite with employees, he always screams so I didn’t like this job and I didn’t give the best of myself.

Chapter Summary and Reaction

“Rescue 471”
This chapter is about the false emergency calls. The first false call was from a nursing home for an unconscious patient. This patient was an old man who feigns fainting. The second call was a drunk man. He called to emergency because he thought he was wounded in the leg. The third cause was a call from firefighter. He fell down, but he just has a little bruise on his arm, and then he complained in the hospital that paramedics said he needs to do. The last call was from a mother. She calls because her daughter broke her teeth, but Peter told her it wasn’t an emergency.
In this chapter there are four different false calls. Those stories in my opinion are funny but they are also stupid because this wastes time for the paramedics who could respond to other real emergencies. Especially the dumbest call I thought was the mother who called because her baby girl lost her teeth. She should have thought first if this is a real emergency while other people really have and need help immediately.

“The Greatest Invention of all Time”
The greatest invention of all time in my opinion is the cellphone. Before when people wanted to have communication with a person who lived far away, it was a big problem. People had to send letters and this took a long time. Sometimes it took days or maybe months depending on the distance where the other person was. Now cellphones exist and we can communicate faster even instantaneously. If I want to text with my friends, it does not matter if they are in another country; the communication is immediate. But this is not the only advantage that cellphone have. It has many advantages. For example, it has internet access, and for this reason we can do many things. One thing is we do not have to wait in long lines to pay bills. Now we can pay it online. The other thing is entertainment. When you are bored, you can see movies; listen to music, play video games and many things. For those reasons, I think the cellphone is the greatest invention of all time.
