The correct answer is C) improved sense of community connection.

Longitudinal follow-up research on better beginnings, better futures project of Ontario, Canada, revealed an improved sense of community connection.

Canadian government considered that if they took care of children and invested in them, the future of Canada would be better.

The model of this study is known as "Better Beginning, Better Futures," and is sponsored by the Ontario Ministry of Community and Social Services. In 1990, the Ministry established the three lines of the project "Child Goals," "Parent-Family Goals," and "Neighborhood Goals." The focus of the project was families with children aged 0 to 8 years old and their families that lived in low-class neighborhoods.

The other options of the question were A) reduction in children's social adjustment. B) increase in adolescence delinquency. D)  reduction in children's academic achievement.

the correct answer is individualism and exchange. at this stage, children begin to question the rules, because they can see that there is more than one side to them. different individuals have different viewpoints. they won't be able to reach this stage because of ignorance, a lack of ethics or personal biases. that is because people with that characteristiscs are not able to distinguish what is good or what is bad and they can't pursue their individual interests.

as university of miami psychologists debra lieberman and adam smith pointed out in a recent article in the journal current directions in psychological science, humans have social and psychological mechanisms to deter incest. with very few exceptions, marriages between brothers and sisters and between parents and their children are verboten in every human culture. the primary psychological anti-incest mechanism is the yuck response. even the idea of sex with their mom or dad, bro or sis is upsetting to most people. the psychologist jonathan haidt has found that nearly everyone is repelled by the prospect of brother-sister sex, even in hypothetical situations in which there is no chance of pregnancy).

the biological cost of incest

this raises an interesting question: just what’s so bad about incest? sure, having sex with your dad or your sister seems gross — but why? some anthropologists have argued that incest taboos are learned social conventions. this explanation, however, doesn’t make sense to me as it does not explain the widespread existence of anti-incest mechanisms in creatures ranging from cockroaches to chimpanzees. second, the incest taboo is about as close to a universal law as human moral rules get.

why should mechanisms to avoid incest be so widespread both in nature and across human societies? the answer is simple. the problem with having sex close with relatives is that there is an astonishingly high chance that your offspring will be born with a serious birth defect.
