Sad news about late Whitney Houston's daughter

Well, we had a series here in Norway, and if you bother to watch a Norwegian series with english subs here you go: Hjernevask[^] Its interesting though: Do children copy your dialect (assuming that you speak different then other people in your area) or the other kids dialect?
It is hard to reach final conclusions on complex systems.

Both. Copying behaviour is the first way of learning. Even if none of the kids curse - if you curse like a sailor, the kid will do the same. When older, origins of behaviour are even harder to point. As your actions are determined by fenotype and genotype, it'd simply follow that even advertisments have influence on your dialect.

That's easy enough to answer for my personal case. I'm having a pretty distinct dialect from a different part of the country than what we live in. My wife has a foreign accent. Our kids speak like the other kids.

Reports indicate that they might pull her from life support, very soon. Now that I am a parent, stories of losing a child, is always hard for me to hear/watch/read. Although I do not care for Bobby Brown, I do wish him strength during this hard time.
We all become our parents at some point.

Well, you can watch the program but the essence is that it is based on twin studies and adopted kids etc. It's not the case that it is solely based on gens compared to nurture, but without genes somethings are impossible. However, no one is saying that you cant ruin your kids with poor parenting.

I am king of general statements, so I think I have a right to say that your comment, well, is a general statement. I think that statement can be true, if the individual doesn't make a specific effort to NOT be like their parents. Also, being like your parents isn't always a bad deal. Some parents are down right cool.

Värmland, bordering to Norway. Have been asked more than once by people from Stockholm if I'm Norwegian. Something a Norwegian certainly wouldn't understand

I bookmarked it; limited bandwidth here. With genotypes being equal, only the fenotype would matter. That would include interaction with everyone. Including the grandparents old dog. Or a church. Did I mention advertising yet? More interaction would logically mean more influence on each future action. Equally, "values" come from all kinds of places; they're a product of what you experienced. Children sociallize earlier today than they used to. It may hold true that the apple didn't fall far from the tree, and that most values in the past came from a limited circle and have been reinforced for a longer period.

Not as strange as it might seem; In 1250-1350 Jämtland, Härjedalen and Värmland belonged to Norway. After the Kalmar union it was split up a little different.

I thought it was a negative but you only get one set of parents be happy you didn't get the wrong ones.
