  • Another factor that may have prevented action by McQueary and others is denial.

      Denial plays a big part in many aspects of our lives. We often deny things we don't believe simply because we can't accept them. So I can see why someone would deny that what they witnessed was for real, and not just a joke.
  • Indeed, in our culture, it’s considered taboo for outsiders to involve themselves in most family matters.

      This is exactly right. You hardly ever see other people getting involved with another parent's child. It is an unwritten rule that your kids are yours; mine are mine, and there is no questioning others' parenting styles. Yet this could be a problem in the case of children getting hurt or bullied.

      Hopefully, sometime in the future, scientists will be able to figure out exactly why we behave in such ways. It will help us to better understand ourselves and others.

  • They were encouraged to freely use their cellphones (“We’re not” — the kind of adults — “who tell you not to use them!”

      That's cool. I think it's good approach to get teenagers to open up about their personal life, and share information.

      This is exactly right. I don't think breaking up should be something you boast or brag about. It should be something you comteplate and think about before actually doing it.

  • "Just as we condemn intolerance and extremism abroad, so will we stay true to our traditions here at home as a diverse and tolerant nation,"

      I agree with this statement very much. He's saying that we tell other countries to be tolerant, so we too should be tolerant. We can't tell others what to do if we don't do the same in our own nation. We should practice what we preach.

      This is an intersesting point. I think that might be the case. Often times the riskier jobs are the jobs the pay less.

      It must be hard being the middle child because the eldest gets a lot of attention since they are the biggest and the farthest ahead in everything. The youngest also gets attention because they are the cute ones who are just starting out. The middle ones are therefore ignored.
