I do think birth order makes a difference in your personality. Your personality changes based on who your parents are, who your friends are, and who your siblings are. If you are the oldest, you will feel more responsibility, possibly even taking care your younger siblings, depending on the age difference.
I think this would make you more mature at a younger age. The oldest paves the way for their younger siblings. When the oldest child first goes to middle school, they probably won't know what to expect.
This experience of being on their own for the first time, without any siblings in the same school as them will change their character. Younger siblings, let's say they are two years younger, won't have this same experience when they go to middle school. My point is, the oldest child will experience everything for the first time; driving a car, finding a job, choosing a college.
Their younger siblings will not get this same experience, because their older sibling and parents will already know what is coming. My older sister went on lots of college visits. She finally decided on one close to home.
When it came my turn to decide on a college, my family already knew the logical choice, the same college. I never had the experience my friends who are the oldest in their family had of experiencing the stress of choosing a new college. That definetely changed how they acted when they were choosing a college, which in turn, changed their personality.
No, I do not think the birth order makes a difference in your personality. I think your parents and their rules make a difference in someone's personality.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
