Hw - 35 Other Peoples' Perspectives

From my interviews with people around the ages of 14 - 19, the general basis of their immediate thought was that birth is a celebration of life. Birth collectively involves many changes that significantly alters someones life and the other people around them. My oldest cousin, who witnessed his mother giving birth to both his younger brothers was altering the physical and mental changes of his life even though he was the first born. Here's what my cousin said, " After I was born, my mom had made sacrifices and changes to make sure we would live a better life. After my second brother was born, I witnessed what sacrifices and changes I had to make for the better and then after the third, the process was all too similar, but still a game changer that brought another brand new change." From what I understood, it seems that birth can change who you are, even if you are effected by it frequently and that it is never the same. My friend who also saw that birth is categorized as a celebration of life, also demanded immense responsibility. Parenting issues are amongst the most important side effects that affect how the process of birth is treated. He says, "if there weren't as many different positive and negative parenting techniques, we wouldn't have parenting issues, but the amount of pressures that our culture sets our children up for along the lines of, how can I make my child become successful, there are various opinions which all may not agree with, so you choose." This is also correct, that our society does put a lot of pressures on parent about how they are going to teach, provide and care for their kids, and not all may agree with the type of technique you end up choosing. So what does this mean about the process of birth before and after then?

One thing I could say for sure is that the process of birth for each individual is different. Some people will see birth one way, and another may see it differently. But one thing that seems to be universal is that many see it as a celebration. I wouldn't argue with this classification either because I wouldn't know how to say that giving birth is a "bad" thing, even though there are many terrible things that birth consist of. From what it seems though during my interviews, the interviewee's did not see it as a "bad thing" but just one that you have to be readily prepared for. Responsibilities seem to be #1 topic of choice under the topic of birth and following after is that birth is a celebration of new life
