Danish Kids

It was good to learn the something about the Denmark economy and the pros and the cons. What became a interest to me was that they only have to go to school thorught 9th grade and if the student is 18 or older they get paid to go to school. One of the Danish girls told me that a A&F store had just open over there and that the prices there in 5 times more than it is in our A&F which I thought was crazy. They said they like New York better because it is more cool and you could tell because one of the Danish girls spent $800 A&F, that seems like too much money to spend in one store. Another interesting thing was that they said they do not have a lot of homeless people like we do in New York and the homeless have a choice to live on the streets and some choose to live there and they don't know why but there aren't that many on the streets. They also said that the price for the subway and bus in Denmark is much more than here. Another interesting thing was that they said they don't have different classes like upper, middle, or lower, they said everybody is wealthy and and they're not seperated my classes and that kind of caught my attention. It was interesting to learn about another country's government and lifestyle and compare to ours and to see the difference makes you think double take on what the government is doing and is it fair to the people and is it benefitting us or them.

First Draft AWOB

American way of birth is apart of American way of life, meaning that no matter what somebody tries to do or change, babies would still be born in someway. My evidence for that is not all babies are planned meaning that some of them are born accidently. Maybe the woman got raped or maybe she forgot to take her birth control or the condom could of broke. So babies are on of the hardiest things stop from happening in the world. Also most women do want kids and you really can't tell them if they could have kids or not because it is their body and they could do whatever they want with them. I am not to sure about questions that I want to look further into but I would keep my mind open just in case something comes up.

"The Buisness of Being Born" Response

I think the most important moments of the movie is when the doctors and midwives gave their opinions on normal and natural births. Also their thoughts on why doctors did c-sections, and three different statments I was able to write down was that "Ceasarian is extremely doctor friendly", "C-section makes things less complicated for the doctor", and the one that came surprising to me was that "If no one steps up and say anything about c-section 100% of births would soon be done by c-section." Their were also some crucial moments that surprised me and I think other people should know are that very few doctors in training observe a normal birth meaning that there is a handfull of doctors that deliver babies when they were in training they never observed a baby being born so they have no idea how the process of having a baby really looks. Also the U.S. has the second worst death birth rate and I think that's surprising because the U.S. is suppose to be one the best place to be and have the most experince in almost anything than any other country and for them to have the second worst birth rate deaths.

The people that should take a look at this video are all women that want to have babies and also men who want to have babies because by making men watch it as well as women gives them some knowledge for when they're in the room with their wives and they're in pain to remind them why they shouldn't take all those drugs so they wont feel all the pain that their feeling. Also I think doctors should watch this so that they could get an idea on the things they're doing right and wrong during these births and what they can do to stop it. My perspective now on childbirth is that I have to beware about what the doctors say or suggest during the process of birth because they might be doing just to benefit them and to make them look right. Also c-section is not good for a woman to have unless the baby has a possible chance of dying or is going to be born prematurealy. What I think should be done more for women that are pregnant is that they should check the history on hospital births in the state they are living in to make sure they know how the births in certain hospitals have varied in the past years.
