wizzard0, why didn't you use the original title, as per HN guidelines? Your title doesn't match what I read from the article at all. Environment is only mentioned once and culture isn't mentioned at all.
- sctb 9y agoWe've just updated the title from ‘A lot of teen risk-taking is environment/culture influence, not just “age”’ to part of the subtitle, which hopefully represents well the article without the “Sex and drugs...” bait.
- wizzard0 9y agoYep, I decided to submit under a more neutral tone because the "Sex and drugs" part felt too sensational, but the result got too opinionated. Will try better next time. UPD: Also... isnt "when Steinberg told the adolescents that their friends were watching from an adjacent room, they took significantly more risks" an environment/culture influence? I don't mean environment like "nature", but the social one, and that includes peer pressure.
- jonathanyc 9y agoYeah, the moderators should probably change the title. It would be one thing if the original title were more sensationalized than the title here, but it’s the opposite.
