In this review, I will discuss an article "Only Child: Lonely or Selfish?" (2013) by Laudren Sandler. Because, considering the human impact on a fragile environment, limiting family size makes sense now more than ever, this article is a statement of what many families see as a fairly reasonable path forward. It is also an interesting article for those who are an only child and other people's perception of an only child. I agree with the author that the classic negative stereotypes about spoiled, rotten, selfish only children are usually false simply because of many different reasons and circumstances. At 950 words, the article is divided into thirteen paragraphs. The first two paragraphs are the introductory part that introduces the author's opinion and the main discussion of the article: only children are not how people usually think of them. The organism has ten paragraphs that provide the theories on the above-mentioned matter and also the evidence. The last paragraph is the conclusion that closes the article with a restatement of his opinion. In the articles, the author argues that having siblings does not guarantee a "better" childhood or cause children to become better-adjusted adults. Instead of presenting a more nuanced understanding of the individual differences of all people, it seems that Lauren Sandler is just trying to replace one set of stereotypes about only children with another, diametrically opposite and "positive" one. Every old stereotype she spreads is followed by strong and convincing evidence that contrasts and brings forward the new, different thought on the personality of the only child. Providing proof of theories through statistics and documents... middle of paper... only children or not in society, but this topic is very interesting and raises a lot of concern in most people nowadays. While reading to fully understand this article, I also found other research on the same topic that is worth reading, for example: “Only children. Research Says Yes, Society Says No” by The Shake (2013), and “Only Child Stereotypes: Fact vs. Fiction” by Susan Newman. The article, according to the author's purpose, is rather subjective. He provided concrete information based on some research (but it is still controversial) and his own experience. She is also good at focusing on the main topic and its perspective throughout the entire article. Overall, this is a good article for people of all ages to have a correct opinion on the number of children a family should have and consider how to raise their children..
