Responce to promt 12/9

I believe her argument does have merit.  She has good points on how we are looking at the belief that parents raise the children too much and not at the other aspects of their lives.  Like peer and societal influences.  I believe one of her strong points in here are that if parents have such huge effects on their children, why is it that if there are 2 siblings, after similarities do to genetics are removed, they turn out completely different.  Also children are not just learning from their parents they are learning what is excepted and normal for their society.  Like how they should act whether they are male/ female and kid/ adult.  To grow up and be accepted by your society you must adapt and act like them.  It is more about the child’s environment as a whole and adapting to the society norms expected of you, depending on age and sex, which you live in.
