one question hell_bound:
Do you believe in what Darwin said or do you believe in creationism? It's a quite important matter I think when we talk about why parents love their children. Actually, parents do not only love their own children, there is something we know as schema of childlike characteristics. I think this is what makes parents love their adopted children. It also is the wish to have someone to care about, the wish to become a happy familiy which is influenced by a certain expectancy in our society.

It has been far to long since the last time we talked! Now to your questions.... I do believe in some of the things that Darwin talked about, but you must understand.... All human ideologies are incomplete... To take Darwin as absolute truth is folly... I believe that we need both science and religion/spirituality... Now, the question is did that answers you first question? However, I disagree with your use of the word "schema" here, as if humans have an emotional schema for children... The problem with using the word "schema" in such a way is that discounts the fact that schemas are really information pathways that we have in our brains that we pick up from environmental cues... Now information contains no emotional response, its just pure raw data However, the outcome from how one processes that data is the mechanism by which humans attribute feelings to... And most of these attributions are based on needs... Such as fight/flight responses, to name one example.... |

We feel genetically compelled towards parenthood when we reach a certain age, so we feel the need of having children, at least to raise them. Adopting goes against the "natural behaviour" of most species and it's a characteristic you can find only in some mammals. It helps us to perpetuate the race, and proves that we have some control on our actions. Quote:
Since that "belonging" or need is the main drive to our actions, that "warm thing" and all the adrenaline you feel when you're in love is just a signal our mind sends to our conscious, right? We used to program bots with a situational task selection by priority scheme. It uses logic gates or semaphores altogether with some algorithms to determine the "needs" of a robot. It works almost the same to the Maslow's pyramid (I've been doing my homework :P), putting the primary tasks first. Ohh, I hated that primitive task scheduler... It was so buggy! Quote:

For example, I read a story recently where there was an adult female pigeon, in a Chinese zoo, that adopted and tried to take care of a baby chimpanzee by bring it food, sleeping with it and keeping it company ... Quote:
However, to concluded that adoption is tied to the perpetuation of the races is a bit of a stretch... Remember the goal of mating, at least under Darwin's theory? It was to propagate one's own genes... Race does not factor into this, for when we speak of instincts - we speak only of selfish needs... However, since humans have evolved beyond the mere reliance on instincts, for we are still tied to them, we must ask what is the motivation for adoption... One simple answer is that most cultures around the world value their young... And so they create these belief systems, which are heavily tied to the symbolism of race and it's future, that encourage propagation of mating and bearing children... Soon these belief systems become institutionalized through messages of religion (Sodom and Gomorrah), public ceremonies (think heterosexual weddings) and written into laws (for example, in the United States homosexual marriages are not recognized under most state legal systems and thus are not given the same benefits as heterosexual married couples)... Through these institutions people are socialized (or taught) these behaviors and so people become to think of these behaviors as a-typical, normal... Teaching cause people to believe that they must act and think a certain way... For example, a female who grows up in a society that perpetuates such beliefs may be more inclined to adopt if she cannot produce eggs of her own... Quote:
We call such reactions "pleasurable"... Quote:

Resiliency is determined by three factors: Biology (for example, hormone levels), personality traits (for example, temperament) and social factors (for example, the type of parents one has)... Those who are considered to have high resilience are said to either have the right mixture of the three factors, or excel in one or two areas of the three factors... To note most humans fall into the latter, rather then the former...
