One of the things I like to observe is my two sons interactions with each other. Rob views the world as either wrong or right with no middle ground. Russ views are that there is a gray area that has to be weighed against a person's actions. They both were in the same enviroment, but have polarized concepts on several things. The twins started off with their own language after they were born and always worked together to accomplish some of their tasks. They never would be in the same mood at the same time, but would alternate as if they were teathered around a center point. Their view of what is wrong and right seams to have developed along the same line. I don't feel that I should force concepts on them, but I will try to mold an a series of constructs for them to build on. They are a joy to see develop and a wonder on how they strugle through what they consider challenging. Rob has strugled with why the Chinese are taking jobs away from Americans. He understands though that they need to work as well. I have explained how several Japanese manufactures are now producing their vehicles inside the United States. It will be interesting to see how they gain a concept of the complexity the world. I am still working on developing a better understanding.
