Dickens Lubanga 14 september 2014 Benefits and drawbacks of being a twin Twins refers to a shared characteristic of being born together at the same time. In babies, this can be identical implying origin from the same ovum or non identical which originate from different eggs. Twins are special in society and their arrival attracts a lot of attention in most societies. Most of the time they are considered a blessing to the community and they are higly celebrated. Identical twins receive majority of the decor and most parents prefer to ensure everything they do pictures their resemblance. They are usually dressed identically, taken to the same schools, and encouraged to walk together. Non identical twins may not be granted the same treatment since they are usually of different sex. Despite the many advantages that present to twins, they are also faced with a couple of challenges. Most of these challenges stem from the developmental stages they go through together and peak up during the adolescence years. These can be very distressing to their parents as rivalry amongst them can be detrimental. My goal in this paper is to closely bring out the benefits of being a twin and also highlight the disadvantages.

    In chapter eleven, “Paired and Pared”, of The Sibling Effect, author Jeffrey Kluger informs his audience about twins and only children and how they are different than other broods. Not only are twins and only children, referred to as “singletons,” biologically different, but their emotional, physical, psychological, and social development is as well. By devoting an entire chapter solely to twins and singletons, Kluger is indirectly claiming that these offspring view the world in a special, and sometimes unexplainable, way. Kluger validates this claim by the use of governmental policies, psychological studies, controversial viewpoints, and personal narratives. Kluger opens up the chapter by summarizing the harsh views of psychologists G. Stanley Hall and Abraham Arden Brill.

Twins that with unshared environmental influences, such as different placentas, could adapt different temperaments (Berk, 2009). Also, twins that have been adopted into separate families could have different personality traits because they lived in completely different environments their whole life, even if they shared environmental influences of the same placenta (Berk, 2009). With an evocative gene environment correlation, a child’s genotype could draw in a certain type of environment, such as babies who appear more attractive will receive more attention (Berk, 2009).
