From Cristine Foger:

Hello Tamiko,

I loved the fact that your class is looking at the matter of birth the way it is. Many people don't see these Americanized acts that are corrupt or just plain not right until they reach college.

Now to your project, i really like the idea of trying to compare the United States maternal care system to England's. Trying to show how our usual hospitalized birth system isnt more beneficial than a natural one.which is properly held in England. you had a great start, but its sad to say you lacked effort and fell of topic. you really lacked effort in this project and it shows. your a really bright kid, ive seen your work before. Use more time to set up your research and arguments and you have yourself a great paper or project. hope to see more of your work.

sincerely,
Cristine

My initial idea was to focus on how the European Maternal care system is better than the United States, and how we could eventually mirror theirs. With certain solutions. And yes, i definitely didn't carry out my idea with efficiency due to time because i rushed. now that i look back i know i could've even showed how the systems and cultures of these country's are the root of their maternal care system problems and advancement.thank you for the criticism Cristine, and i look forward to your comments on my future blogs. have a wonderful day.

From Chris Calnan:
I found this informitive as well as appalling. I think that how hospitals and doctors mistreat their patients is outrageous. It is horrible that physicians would prioritize anything but the well being of their patients and whats worse is how common it is. It hurts to think how hospitals abuse new mothers in such an unnecessary and reckless fashion. I thought the strongest point this piece made was how the media can encourage home birth. You also structured your evidence well and i would just add a short concession about how doctors encourage hospital birth.

Thank you for commenting my blog at such short notice. i really appreciate it. this unit we tried to focus on the nightmarish acts of a hospitalized birth, and how this issue isn't hidden from us. i tried to give background on the Americanized birth system and than some on England's. which i didn't do. my ideas really were everywhere. however, media was something i feel our cultures prides itself with, but it don't really bring beneficial information to us. so i felt natural birth should be televised. you should definitely take Andy's class junior or senior year. you seem very enlightened by what we talk about, what many history's classes don't address. thanks
