CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION



A. Background of Study



Twins have different personality. The separation of the two individuals who have this kind of relationship may have a different type of mood or personality by means of their environment, people that associates every day, and for the one’s own cause. As they grow the adaption of the things that surround him/her have a huge chance that he/she can be like it. May one of the reason again is also of how they treated in their childhood day. Or for any instances they will grow up and have a successful which undergo to independent to him or her self.

According to John Hamilton in the article entitled "How Can identical Twins Turns out so Different". He states that twins at the beginning have the same attitude because they are always together but after sometime they drift away from each other. The attitude of a twin can be determined on the persons, friends, social life and their experiences. The twin who hangs out and have many experience will be the more extroverted one and then when he/she meets people who is more extroverted them he/she become a little more extroverted this things give feedback to the brain and changes the personality of the person and sometime create a new brain cell and explains why twins comes out with different attitude.

He mentioned that "A series of small events can reinforce one another and lead to lasting changes in the brain"
(http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2013/05/14/182633402/how-can-identical-twins-turn-out-so-different)


Twins have the same physical appearance. We all have known that twins have the amazing appearance in this world. We are amazed when we see them especially when they are together like walking on the streets was so adorable. There are same in things like shirts, pants, and even in hairstyles.
According to Nathan Vanderklippe in the article entitled “Why Identical Twins can look different” In this article he discuss in this case that not all twins have a one physical appearance, but even they not get that characteristic of a twin. They have the same personalities that they get together from their parents or from their family.

He mentioned that “In some ways, that makes their differences even more interesting. From the same genetic building blocks, they are each assembling something unique. If nothing else, it's an intriguing in sight into the propensity life for diversity. No matter the genetic ties, the natural order favours a kind of irrepressible individuality"


Some twins have different DNA. We all known that twins has the perfect mutation of one’s siblings have. Like the genes are perfectly mold in to the stomach of the mother when the two fetus are in there.

According to Tia Ghose in the article entitled “Identical Twins Are Genetically Different, Research Suggests” She explain the study of mutation of the past and to these new era. That the twins are not so perfect mold as that. That there are some more genes that cannot be copied to the other twin.

She mentioned that” One limitation of the study is that they could only estimate the mutation rate based on blood cells, but some cells in the body divide much more mutations. Other cells, but some cells in the body divide much more frequently and so may rack up many more mutation. Other cells, like brain cells, don’t regenerate much and would probably remain stable" 

Twins have the same instincts. Each one of us has an instinct but most of the twins can read their twins mind even if in just a single wink of an eye he/she know what is the meaning of that. And it is cool to have like that kind of personality.

According to the author of Twin Registry in the article entitled "Can twins read each others minds?" One of the researcher discuss in the article the things that twins proving that they can read or feel the mind of the other twin.

One of the researcher says that"Twins share a special connection beyond that of ordinary siblings"



In this case, We known the different thing about Twin on how they live in this world by means of different kinds of personality, having the same appearance, and even they are the same their genes are not like that. The explanation of having the same appearance as a twin explain to us that even the two people have the same face their body as not like that too. The explanation of having different kind of personality explain how a twin live in this world. Having different DNA even you’re a twin explain to us that it is not equal as we all known.



The purpose of this paper is for us to know how twins act on this world and How for us to socialized them.

CHAPTER 2
DISCUSSION

1.How having a twin can affect a person's psychology

I. Definition of Twins


Twins are the most wonderful thing in this world. To explain directly, twins is just a sibling and everybody knows that. We are so amazed when we see like two people having the same things: bags, clothes, shoes, accessories.


As Mr. Wikipedia said Twins are two offspring produced by the same pregnancy. Twins can either be mono-zygotic(identical) meaning that they develop from one zygote that splits and forms two embryos, or dizygotic(fraternal), meaning that they can develop from two eggs, each fertilized by separate sperm cells. It simply explain to us what are the formation of the egg cell and sperm cells formed in the womb of the mother.

Defining a word Twins is a broad one. I researched that some of the cultures have their own definition. Like what I found. I found an article entitled "Twins in West African Culture" by Saran Kaba. It says that twins can be viewed as both blessing of a curse depending on the culture, Some say twins have divine powers. In some parts of Nigeria, when a twin passes away, they are buried like kings seated on a throne. Another way is parent will put two bells on the twins room so that if someone walks in the bells will ring and announce that the twin may cause charm or curse. And in some parts of the Ivory coast twins are also said to be able to stop the rain and are often called upon when there are manifestations or events and the weather turns endearment. In Guinea where are twin is getting married the other also treated as a bride

According to Saran"There is definitely a strong bond between twins"

What want the authors try to understand us that twins are really similar in terms on their style, fashion and likes. But others are also different, but when we can't deny that even though they are different they have the same feelings and their concern to each other is really strong to brake.





II. Kinds of Twin


Twins were considered as half of our lives, for those who have twins you are thankful to have a person at your side that you can rely on anytime. A sister/brother, a friend, or even an enemies. But they also believe that twins restored happiness, health and property. However they can also bring us disaster, disease, and death. They are still need to be treated with respect. We all known that there are actually kinds of twins but here are some things that we don't know about them and what is the right term to call them as a twin. There are some article to explain the things like this.


A. Identical Twin
As two children are born to the same mother they are know as Twins. They have unique sense of identity. Identical twins are formed when a single fertilized egg splits into two separate embryos they share a single placenta and have the same DNA and blood type. Identical twins are siblings with the same facial characteristics and mostly the same gender. This twins are mostly seen having the same identical hair clip, clothes and hairstyles. Sometimes they have common attitudes, but others they are definitely different. Having a best buddy like twins was so great because it not just you have a brother or a sister the amazing part is your buddy exactly the same face like what you have. This twins are mostly mistaken of the people who sees them, like when the person is actually this person but was mistakenly identified as the other because they really actually look very a like.

David Manly wrote an article entitled "Mirror Images: Twins and Identity". In this article it states that the twins are eager to know who is the older. To know who is the older one to show superiority over the other. Twins are siblings who have very strong bonds with them bond but its their love for each other and being born together. They are mostly seen having different outfits and hairstyles because twins also want to be identified differently and they don't want to be known because they are twins but they wanna be known as themselves.

David says that "Everyone is individual even a twin"
(http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/guest-blog/2011/03/15/mirror-images-twins-and-identity/)

B. Fraternal Twins
This kind of twins are created when a female double ovulates and different sperm each egg, they can be the same sex or different. Fraternal twins are twins that have no more in common than being born on different times. Fraternal twins are twins that have different eggs and are also called dizygotic twins they can look a like or can be very different.

Jo Adamson wrote an article entitled "What's It's Really like being a Fraternal Twin" It says that when we hear fraternal twins we think that they can live separate lives and doesn’t feel the crisis that the identical twins feel but actually even fraternal twins can also have the same crisis for example the identity crisis they also feel this because when the people hear twins they already put in mind that they look a like even if they are really not. They are also times when fraternal twins compared by people surrounding them which can depress and excel each other. People tends to make twins share events and stuff like birthdays, clothes and many more which can cause anger and irritation to its siblings.

According to Jo "Fraternal twins are born and reared in the same family environment, but the advantage of experiencing the family in a different way"
(http://voices.yahoo.com/whats-its-really-like-being-fraternal-twin-6904306.html?cat=7)




III. Relationship between twins


Having a brother or a sister is the greatest gift for you as a person. Imagine a child without a siblings, What can be the possible characteristic. It can be a bad kid or just a loner. So be thankful if you have a sibling, a Twin brother or sister it just amazing that you have kind of that thing. Imagine when you look at his/her face it is just like you're looking at the mirror because you have the things that he/she have too. And it also amazing because what he/she have you have it too like same shoes, bags,clothes or even hairstyles.

Being a twin is like your best friends. You share your thoughts and things to each other, but like in twin, your best friend don't have the same as yours. In twins, even they have the same face or looks they have an individual characteristic. Some twin, have hard life being with their twin sibling simply because they have competitors in their live. Sometimes they have the obligation to care each other. Some people judge twin because they think they have same interest and some characteristic.

A. Strong Relationship

Strong relationship is one of the best relationships that everybody wants. Family, Friends, Classmates must have a strong relationship to have a good relation to each other. Most of the twins have their strong relationship because they are always together. They always share thoughts and things and that's a good example of relationship.

Psychology Today staff wrote an article entitled "Twin speak". In this article, they interviewed five twins with their stories of being a twin. To summarize all they said, it just about that twin is have an individual identity. Its hard for a twin to separate for their twin sibling because they have closeness in their relationship. They stated also their problem and how their relationship make stronger with their problem. That no matter or what a big trouble they have in their life, twin face it with holding hand to exceed those problems. Also there is one stories that the twin is duper close when they are little to teen they'd separated because one is marries already. It's hard but you need to face that all twin is not always will leave together.

According to the author of the article"In spite of having the same set of genes these identical twins couldn’t be more different personality-wise"

B. Individual Relationship


Individual relationship is one of the hardest thing that two people must accept. This kind of relationship is essentially just meet up when it's convenient for both of you. But love is not priority. And two people who do not know how or are not willing to comprise and sacrifice for the relationship.


Linda Marks wrote an article "Partners for life: The Experience of being twin". In this article Linda interview the identical twins, Derek and Geoffy. They stated the love of being their brother and most intimate relationship in their lives. being in twin, they gave each other comfort, love, care and intellectual stimulation. They make a powerful presence and happiness in their family. When they grow up, they will separate not like when they are little boy they are so close like no one can separate them. They had fear of it that they will separate, some people don't understand that but with a twin it's different.

According to Linda"The level of intimacy and connection commonly experienced between twin is a foundation on which to build other relationship"



IV. CONCLUSION



As two children are born to the same mother they are known as Twins. They have the unique sense of identity which many people are amazed. Having a best buddy is the greatest gift of all that you can lean on their shoulders in every single time you need them.


Even if twins have the same appearance they are not the same in attitudes. The explanation on how the two person having an individual lifestyle even though they are twins. This kind of conclusion shows to us that you only live one by yours but you cannot survive without the help them by means different kind of challenge that you may be faced.

Being a twin is like your best friends, you share everything. But like in twin, your best friend don't have the same face with yours. In twins, even they have the same face or looks they have an individual attitudes or personalities. Some twin have have hard life being with their twin sibling because they have competitors in their lives. Sometimes they have obligation to take care each other. Some people judge twin because they think they have same interest and some characteristic. Twin is not a sin, just live our life right and never underestimate people around of us.

Blogger 8: Twin Telephathy

We mostly hear people saying that twins has powers because they can read each others minds and opinion, they tend to almost do the same thing, and knows what the other thinks about and can sometimes predict the future. In my experience I was known a twin, they do think alike and mostly know what the other thinks about but i never thought about it as a power because for me normal siblings can also do that and because me and my sister usually have the same idea also, and sometimes we tend to sing the same song at the same time even though we did not discuss about it, but I still believe that twins can have psychic power, and also other people.

According to






Blogspot 7:Fraternal Twins

Fraternal Twins are twins that have no more in common than being born on different times. This kind of twins are created when a female double ovulates and different sperm fertilize each egg, they can be the same sex or different. I have encountered siblings who are fraternal twins, they are close to each other and unlike identical twins they don't find ways to be different because they are already are not alike . The fraternal twins that i know go to the same school and they get along together, and I am certain that the other one is prettier than the other and much more popular too, because their faces,attitude,and charisma are not alike.
                                                                             
Fraternal twins are twins that have different eggs and are also called dizygotic twins, they can look alike or can be very different. Fraternal twins can be very different with height and characteristic, but do they still have to share like identical twins?



I found an article entitled "What's It's Really like Being a Fraternal Twin" by Jo Adamson. It states that when we hear fraternal twins we think than they live separate lives and doesn't feel the crisis  that identical twins feels but actually even fraternal twins can also have the same crisis for example identity crisis they also feel this  because when people hear twins they already put in mind that they look alike even if they really are not. They are also times when fraternal twins are compared by people surrounding them, which can depress and excel the other. People tends to make twins share events and stuff like birthdays, clothes and many more which can cause anger and irritation to its siblings.

According to Jo Adamson, "fraternals are born and reared in the same family environment, but have the advantage of experiencing the family in a different way" I think it is true because fraternal twins can easily be identified by their family because they have different facial appearance and can be treated differently because they can tell the difference of the two. Many people wonders why fraternal twins have very different face,skin color, and hair, and thinks that the mother is unfaithful but why to they think this way?


I found an article entitled "Bi-Paternal Twins: Fraternal with Different Fathers" by Christine Daniel. It states that animals are not the only being that are capable having a fraternal twins with different fathers, it can also be done by humans and this is called Bi-Paternal twins or in scientific term it called Heteropaternal superfucandation, this kind of fraternal twins are made when the mother has one or more egg available and when she has more than one partner, this kind of twins are very rare because fraternal twins only make 2% of the population, so this makes Bi-Paternal twins would be like finding a rare gem.


According to Christine Daniel, "Bi-Paternal opens a whole set of problems for couples who have made vows of monogamy and faithfulness" this statement is actually a fact because this kind of twins mean that the women is unfaithful to his partner and she slept with other guys.

Fraternal twins is like any other siblings and should be respected too and not to be compared with because every person does not want to be compared and to be disrespected because they have feelings,dignity and pride for themselves and this is applied even to twins because they are also normal people like. Fraternal twins also doesn't mean that they are different to each other and does not have a bond because they are once was together in their mother stomach and that is the bond that will never be erased from each of them.



Blogspot 6:Identical Twins

Identical twins are formed when a single fertilized egg splits into two separate embryos, they share a single placenta and have the same DNA and blood type.Identical twins are siblings with the same facial characteristics  and mostly the same gender. This twins are mostly seen having the same identical hair clip, clothes,hairstyles, and shoes,and the only difference is the color of the item but twins have different attitude, brain capability, heights, and sometimes different skin color. This twins are mostly mistaken of the people who sees them, like when the person is actually this person but was mistakenly identified as the other because they really actually look very a like.

I found an article entitled "How Can Identical Twins Turns Out so Different?" by John Hamilton. It states that twins at the beginning have the same attitude because they are always together but after sometime they drift away from each other. The attitude of a twin can be determined on the persons friends, social life and their experiences. The twin who hangs out and have many experience will be the more extroverted one and then when he/she meets people who is more extroverted then he/she becomes a little more extroverted, this things give feedback to the brain and changes the personality of the person and sometimes create a new brain cell and that explains why twins comes out with different attitude.


According to John Hamilton,"A series of small events can reinforce one another and lead to lasting changes in the brain". I agree because in my own experience having a sibling even though were not twins, we used to have the same attitude and personality but when we entered different school and had different friends, our attitude changed, and we became much different from each other. Different ways of living changes the person because it affects their attitude, perception of life,and personality.

I found an article entitled "Mirror Images:Twins and Identity" by David Manly, it states that twins are eager to know who is the older one to show superiority over the other. Twins are siblings who have very strong bonds with them and its not their facial characteristic that make them bond but its their love for each other and being born together. They are mostly seen having different outfits and hairstyles because twins also want to be identified differently  and they don't want to be known because they are twins but they wanna be known as themselves.

According to David Manly, "Everyone is an individual even a twin". I agree to this statement  because everyone want to be known in their own league and work, they do not one to be very alike to someone. People do not want to share the things they love, including their  love life,occupation, and hobbies because for them this things makes them who they are.

Identical twins are people who share their appearance but they  have their own different characteristic, hobbies, smartness, beauty and strength in life, because even if they have the same faces they are individual people who has their own interest. They have strong bonds that can be felt even if they are far away because they were once together in life and they shared one placenta in their mothers stomach.

blogpost 5: Twins In Our Society



Tw



Twins were considered as half of our lives, for those who have twins, you are thankful to have a person at your side that you can rely on, anytime. A sister/brother, a friend, and sometimes enemies. But they also believe that twins restored happiness, health and prosperity. However they can also bring us disaster, disease and death. They are still need to be treated with respect.

I found article an entitled “Twins in Yoruba Society” by Fernand Leroy, it states that twins were considered of prenatural origin and raised emotional reactions from fear and repugnanceto hope and joy. Yoruba Culture used to reject a sacrifice newborn twins, they are also not accept but welcomed their birth, being an occasion of great, rejoicing. The first born twin is called Taiwo, meaning ‘having the first taste of the world’, where the second is named Kahinde, meaning ‘arriving after the other’. Kahinde must be careful, more intelligent and more reflective. While Taiwo is more curious and adventurous, but also nonchalant. As the Yuroba believe that twins share the same combined souls, when a newborn twin dies, the life of the other is imperiled because the balance of his soul has become seriously disturbed and to counteract this danger a special ritual is carried out.



According to Fernand, “Superstituos and customs pertaining to twins are universal and often share converging features among cultures without any mutual geographical or temporal contact.” Sometimes our beliefs are based on our culture and tradition, it is also accepted and respected by others, we have our own beliefs and sometimes based it on our culture and apply it as part of the history.

I found an article entitled “Twin studies: What can they tell us about nature and nurture?"by Guang Go, it says that goes combine with the environment to produce complex human traits, they probably share 100% of their genes. Identical twins are monozygotic, they developed from a single sperm fertilizing a single egg, which then divides into two separate cell masses within the first two weeks of development, these are considered as clones. While Fraternal twins are dizygotic, development when two eggs are each separately fertilized by different sperm. Physical or behavior trait is often shared by identical twins than fraternal twins. From DNA-based studies, identical and fraternal twins is still extremely valuable. Researchers can use identical twins to estimate the proportion of individuals with a certain gene that expresses a certain trait. It also states that fraternal twins provide excellent data for genetic mapping studying complex human traits and behaviors are likely to continue using twin and other traditional family studies as a major methodological strategy.
 



According to Guang Go, “A particular environment influences the expression of a genetically influenced trait.” When a twin grows in a different environment probably they would have different attitude, but it doesn’t affect the genes. They will probably have the same hair color, eyes and age, a sign that would prove hat they are twins.





                                                                           

blogpost 4: Twins On Mythology




When we came up with the word Mythology, we always think that it is all about magics and curse that God and Goddesses do. It also happens that myths describes process of cosmological nativity, origination, formation and genesis. And twins have a lots of mythological studies, it often conclude that twins may be refer as curse, blessing, and monster.



I found an article entitled “The wonders of Twins: Twins in Greek Mythology” by William Viney. It states that Greek Twins are heterogeneous significance, they have different kinds of relationship with humans and non-humans, with their twin sibling, their parents and with other twin set. This includes story of Castor: A Polydeuces, where one twin gives up his immortality to be with his mortal twin brother, also the story of Zethos and Amphion; who build the wall that fortifies Thebes. And the fratricide story of Romulus and Remus, show how twinship can be associated with destructive and murderous relations. Thus the twins of Ancient Greece cannot be easily separated, because they do not find concordance with the wonder-provoking intimacies associated with cotemporary twins but because they are not easily isolated from Gods born as singletons. Among Gods, like Apollo and Artemis they have few equals and though there is a little textual evidence to support a physical likeness between them, they are equally holy. The figure of the twin, frequently of sacred birth and of sacrosanct strength, become closely allied with the magical a divine. In stories where sacred twins are born with mortals, with the divine take on human frailties and sacred siblings to accommodate one another.


According to William, “The figure of the twin, frequently of sacred birth of a sacrosanct
strength, become closely allied with the magical and divine”. Yes we all know that if Gods has a child, he/she posses with magical powers and divine strength that would surely praise and adore by the mortals.


I found an article entitled “Ancient Maya Blood Rituals and The Hero Twins Creation Myth” by Jasmyne Pendragon. It talks about the child of the Maize God. It started when one of the daughters of the underworld god walked under the tree and noticed a head hanging from it, she paused and looked at the head and it spoke to her then she raised her hand to the head, it spat on her and she became impregnant. After 6 months she was kicked because of disgrace. She was keep by the creator god grandparents were soon to be grandparents of her underworld children. She gave birth to the Hew Twins named Hunalipu and Xbalanque, they were blow gunners, hunters, ball players, and tricksters, their main function is to get rid the world of monsters and incongruities and went to destroy the monster of volcano and creator of earthquakes. By some sort of trickeny and hardness they committed suicides, by these story it provides for blood sacrifice, it also appears apparent deeds of the Hew Twins. It conclude that twins have the same thought and feelings that considered bravery and heroic deeds.


According to Jasmyne, “However, the epic creation myth does seem the most likely cause or reason.” We often say our lives on myths out in  always doesn’t mean that the myths will cause you a situation that you want.

















blogpost 3: Culture talks about Twin





        As two children are born to the same mother they are know as Twins, they have unique sense of identity. Sometimes they have common in attitudes, but others they are definitely different. There are lots of Myths in terms of twins- as partners, rivals, opposites, of halves of a whole are noted on different mysteries.


          I found an article entitled “Twins in WestAfrican Culture” by Saran Kaba. It says that twins can be viewed as both blessing of a curse depending on the culture, some say twins have divine powers. In some parts of Nigeria, when a twin passes away, they are buried like kings seated on a throne. Another way is parents will put 2 bells on the twins’ room so that, if someone walks in, the bells will ring and announce that the twin may cause charm or curse. And in some parts of the Ivory coast twins are also said to be able to stop the rain and are often called upon when there are manifestations or events and the weather turns endearment. In Guinea where are twin is getting married, the other also treated as a bride.
 

     According to Saran, “There is definitely a strong bond between twins.” It is right. Twins are really similar in terms on their style, fashion and likes. But others are also different, but we can’t deny that even though they are different, they have the same feelings and their concern to each other is really strong to brake.

      I found an article entitled  “Twins: TwoLines, One Personality” by Lawrence Wright. It says Neubauer believed at the time that twins posed such a burden to parents and to themselves in the form of certain development hazards, it also recognized that identical twins are rare, however those who has been separated and brought up in different families are particularly unusual. And with this, when they are separated only part of their childhoods were reunited and trace them through their childhood, each stage of their development are parallel or diverging courses of their special through conversations, which turn them into freaks but which also to be fair, some believes that they are largely the same, and became different because they are imposed upon their environment, and they conclude that people differ mainly because of their genes, and find their own making, are choosing right decisions.




      According to Lawrence, “Every culture has had to confront the twin phenomenon and come to its own response”. We know that every culture has their own studies about twins, some may refer it to mystical and traditional views. But its all the same that twins have the same feelings with their heart and mind. Even though we based it on different countries and beliefs.
