...people (Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART), 2014). In the case of surrogate parenting, an agreement is reached typically between an infertile couple and a woman who is to carry a baby for this couple. There are two main types which are gestational surrogacy and traditional surrogacy. In gestational surrogacy, conception takes place by means of IVF (in vitro fertilization) which would mean that the surrogate mother will have no genetic relationship with the resultant child. In traditional surrogacy, conception will take place either naturally or artificially which would mean that there will be a genetic relationship between the surrogate mother and the pregnancy. Sperm and egg donation as the name implies is a practice in which sperm and eggs or embryos have been donated by a third party to enable the infertile individual or couple to conceive. The donors are usually screened before they can donate and are usually compensated for the donation. All these are various types of fertility treatment and have become more commonly used around the world, but they still raise some ethical concerns which will be discussed further along. Ethical Dilemmas surrounding Surrogate Parenting A lot of ethical concerns have arisen and I think that these questions will always be asked. For the sake of this paper,...

...Breastfeeding – no introduction necessary The focus of this review paper is on presenting and substantiating common knowledge and beliefs with scientific research and facts to demonstrate the advantages of breast milk feeding in early stages of human life and in years that follow. Discussion of non-scientific, i.e. social, economic, etc., aspects of breastfeeding will be limited, with primary focus given to human health outcomes for infants and mothers. The structure of this paper is decisively unconventional: where the author has chosen to discuss the body of common knowledge about breastfeeding before delving into the scientific research review. The intention is to draw the readers’ attention to the vast body of proven and observed advantages of breastfeeding for infant and mothers. Breastfeeding advantages – more than just food Breastfeeding is a natural process. Throughout human history breastfeeding was, and in many places around the world still is, a means to a healthy start to a human life. With the development of baby formula, and its availability, and relatively low cost, breastfeeding is now commonly thought to be a choice in the developed world. No longer a means to survival, no longer a requirement. To some, the advent of the baby formula is a direct form of feminine liberation. To others, baby formula is a necessity for medical or circumstantial reasons that are not driven by the freedom of choice. Those that choose the formula under pretenses other than necessity...

...Emotions of Us Team B August 5, 2014 University of Phoenix PSY/355 One very popular method for uncovering basic emotions is through facial expressions. From the moment we are born we demonstrate emotion through facial expressions. In babies, it is very important that they are able to demonstrate their feelings through facial expressions. There are many different kinds of emotions that every human being experiences during certain situations. Some emotions would be anger, sadness, fear, happiness, love, surprise, anxiety, amongst many others. Facial expressions make it very simple to be able to notice what kind of emotion the individual is going through. Babies are unable to communicate by speech or bodily gestures when they are born or in their first years of life, therefore it is very important for people to be able to associate the baby’s facial expression to their emotion. When a baby is sad they will make a certain facial expression letting the parents know something is wrong. Same goes if the baby was in pain, hungry, or tired. Because kids and adults are able to speak and communicate both through speech and body language, it might make it seem as if facial expressions were no longer needed to know how someone is feeling, but in research it is still very important. For example, a doctor would be able to tell if his patient is in pain or afraid even if they do not want to let the doctor know something is wrong just by the patient’s facial expression. Social workers understand...

...Analysis Paper on the Barriers to Breastfeeding in the Media HEA-305 Women’s Health Breastfeeding is regarded as one of the most rewarding activities mothers partake in when caring for their children. The cells, hormones and antibodies in breast milk provide babies with unique protection against various illnesses (“Women’s Health”, 2014). Studies have shown that breast feeding reduces the risk of ear infections, gastroenteritis, severe respiratory tract infections, eczema, asthma, obesity, diabetes, childhood leukemia and sudden infant death syndrome (Northrup, 2014). With all of the great benefits breast feeding affords, it is unfortunate that breast feeding is no longer regarded as a natural process between a mother and child but as an obscene act that has become inferior to bottle feeding. The absence of the media’s acceptance of breast feeding, has led to a shift in our culture which is now influenced by the over flooding of products and advertisements promoting bottle feeding as the best way to feed a child. A product that supports the shift to a bottle fed culture that I chose to analyze was the Bottle Holder accessory by BabyGiraffe which is pictured below: The bottle holder accessory which was featured on lilsugar.com, a popular blog for mothers was regarded as a “third arm” for busy moms that have other younger children (“5 Products Designed”, 2014). The intended audience for this product includes busy mothers who commute frequently (the ad includes a car seat)...

... 2 ! In the history of the world, women have ruled the world, shaped the world, and changed the world and in the United States, women have had a storied and grand history that has evolved the role of women from typical housewife to leaders of women's rights movements and has shown their true worth and true potential to their male counterparts. In this paper, I will be talking about six key events and time periods that have changed not just women's history but the overall history a nation. Three of these events and time periods will be before 1930 and three of them will be after 1930 to give the reader an overall sense of the evolution of the role women have played. The events that I will be talking about are the roles that women played in World War One beginning in 1914, the second historic event is the 19th Amendment, giving women the right to vote, the third time period I will be talking about before 1930 is that of the roaring 1920s. After 1930, the changes were still happening for women and World War II was a major point in the evolution of what it means to be a woman, this time period was quickly followed by the baby boom. The final time period I will discuss is the Feminist Movement in the 1960s and how those efforts have led to a lasting impression of who women are in today's modern era.

...Kerry Walsh-Bartlett 27 Research Paper Grade Draft December 6, 2011 The Silent Cry The air is cold, and the room is dark except for the fluttering flicker of a monitor positioned in the corner of the room. The medal stirrups are cold and uncomfortable while lying on a paper, covered doctor’s table. The whirring sound of the suction machine is buzzing through the air. It’s almost over, but no one catches a glimpse of the monitor which is showing a picture of a tiny fetus inside the womb struggling violently to avoid the intruding device of death. This is, in all actuality, the witnessing of the killing of a person, a human being. This topic is so powerful that the debate over pro-life against pro-choice has been going on for many years. People need to be made aware of what is happening nearly everyday in the United States which is the killing of innocent lives by the thousands. According to the pro-life movement, abortions need to be prohibited with no exceptions, to defend the right of human life. Contrary to this belief, pro-choice activists strongly disagree by arguing on every level possible and stating that it is the woman’s decision if she wishes to interrupt a pregnancy within her womb. So, while supporters of abortion claim it should continue to be legal in the United States, especially if the mothers life is endangered or the pregnancy was caused by rape, it actually should not be made legal because of the fact that it is the killing of an innocent human...

...DeLynn Downam Professor Tiffany Grovenstein Developmental Psychology 241 February 25, 2016 Are there cognitive benefits for young children in watching baby media? Introduction We live in the period when TV, online videos are used for many different purposes. Various video programs can provide educational purposes, accelerating and facilitating the processes of learning, different movies and TV shows can perform the function of entertainment. And although some video-reportages, films can carry the aggression, violence, etc. in general TV media themselves are not something positive or negative. Whether TV brings benefits or harm to the individual, as I believe, depends more on how the individual will use what television media offers to him/her. In the modern time, not only adults watch different media, but young children are also exposed to watching different TV programs, cartoons, educational movies etc. Parents of young children can use baby media to calm a child, as a safe replacement for other activities, as the background, to distract the attention of the child, etc. Some parents also tend to believe that watching television programs by children is a necessary element of a normal development of a child. However, these assumptions are often baseless and not supported by any facts (Brown, 2011). In early childhood, there is some invisible but intensive development in the brain. The brain of a 5-year-old child in size is almost the same as that of an adult. Brain structures...

...Hassan 1 Hussein Hassan Mr. Horn AP Seminar February 2 2015 The Perfect Human: The Flaws in Modern Eugenics With global technologies rapidly advancing, specifically those based in the field of genetics, one might wonder where humanity is headed in terms of their offspring. The answer? Modern eugenics. Francis Galton's eugenics, centered around forced sterilization and selective breeding to eliminate undesirable traits and foster the spread of more advantageous ones (Galton), is dead. However, the idea of focusing on one’s inherited genes to eliminate passed down diseases is alive and well, albeit in a more “modern” fashion. Is modern eugenics the right way of the future for humanity? To what extent should modern eugenics be viable? Before ambitious genetic projects had begun, such as the Human Genome Project which mapped out the entirety of the human genome (Genome.gov), the only way to tamper with an individual’s genes was through their parents. Gregor Mendel earned the moniker “The Father of Genetics” because of his experiments involving the breeding of plants in the mid 19th century (Biography.com). However, modern eugenics focuses on the genes of child more than the parents through abortions and the genetic altering of the embryo to achieve the desired results. This can be achieved through a process called genetic screening, which observes an embryo’s chromosomes for any lapses or breaks (Galloway a). Embryo’s that show signs of a genetic disorders...

...| Assessment Research Paper | Assessing the Young Child-Professor Speers | | | Assessment Research Paper There are many different aspects and things to consider when discussing the subject of child development. In this paper I will be discussing and identifying three examples of major conditions in children, and their impact on development and learning, demonstrate a plan that would enhance an interest area, change in behavior or bring new knowledge to parents, children and staff, I will give examples of how assessments are applied in the early childhood classroom and how early childhood curriculum is used with assessment tools, and identify three assessment inventories used for birth through six the assessments that can be used for child developmental portfolios. The first type of major condition in children that has an impact on development and learning is autism. Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) don’t tune into other people in the same way as typically developing children. For example, a child with ASD might not respond to his name, make eye contact, smile at caregivers, or wave goodbye without being told to. A child with ASD also might not use eye contact to get someone’s attention or communicate. Children with ASD find it hard to see things from other people’s perspective. They might have trouble understanding that other people can have different desires and beliefs from them. Children with ASD can struggle with focus, attention, transitions...

...women just instinctively knew when it was time to give birth and their bodies did the rest. They trusted that their bodies were meant for this purpose. Midwives and village elders would come to be with the laboring mother and to help her through the process. Vaginal birth was not only considered the normal way of birth, it was also the only way of birth. Vaginal birth is no longer the only choice when it comes to delivering a baby. Cesarean deliveries (CDs) are now a lifesaving strategy. CD is a surgical procedure in which a doctor in an operating room makes an incision through the mother’s abdomen and down to the uterus. The baby is removed from the uterus and the uterus and abdomen are then closed with sutures. This takes place while the mother is awake and made numb from the waist down by either a spinal or epidural anesthetic. In emergency situations, a general anesthetic is used and the mother is put to sleep and is unconscious for the procedure. CDs were originally used to save the life of the mother, save the life of the baby or when a vaginal delivery wasn’t possible. Since the birth of CDs, they are now performed for more than just saving the baby’s or the mother’s life. “Cesarean delivery is the most frequently performed surgical procedure in the United States” (Campbell, 2011, p. 310). Women are choosing medically elective cesarean deliveries (MECDs) for a variety of reasons including fear of pain and the unknown, convenience, previous traumatic birth...

In 1921, Jean Piaget published the result of his groundbreaking research on child development .He set out four powerful stages of child which will shape our thinking for years to come . The first stage of child is beginning the new born to 2 years of age . We called this stage is sensorimotor period . In this stage , infants have developed the ability of sense perception and circular reaction which means that infants will repeat and repeat to do the same tasks until they form a new scheme. .Piaget find that infants possess the object permanence concept which situation is that infants understanding the object and event continue to exist but they can not find the object and event directly in this stage. Piaget believe that young infants (0-4months) can not search the disappearance of object and event . After that they will forget the object in their mind and sight. In the substage 3 , babies start to search for vanished objects. However , babies possess the ability of psychological operation in the stage 4.Therefore , babies will develop a exact thinker . Also , Piaget establish a concept of preoperational period in the two years to seven years of age children . In this stage , the children did not developed the concept of conservation .It means that they don't understanding logical...

...Kyle Getz Extra Credit Paper kgetz 120006691 October 18, 2009 The Link Between Mother and Infant Depression Within many research attempts, a strong relationship has been established between maternal and infant depression along with the impact it has on the child’s developmental problems throughout childhood and even adolescence. Among these longitudinal studies, they also take the third-variable problem into consideration when measuring the contextual factors as well as the occurring interaction issues. The targeted hypothesis is that “infants of depressed mothers are found to be more likely to develop mental and socioemotional problems” (Van Doesum p.157). As a consequence, there has been a model-based intervention program is directed to improve the interaction between mothers and their infants to further prevent problems in their children’s development. It has been confirmed that children of mentally unstable parents remains to be the primary cause with chances ranging from 41-77%. Reports have shown that these children can exhibit deregulations in the behavioral and physiological areas not too long after birth. Three topics have been proposed when talking about the direct effects of maternal depression on child development. These include the early mother-child interaction(s), prenatal transmissions (impaired blow flow to the placenta), and the genetic transfer (how the parents’ genotype affects the infant). Along with these possible...
