Child’s Name and Age: Aubrey, 6months Total Observation Time: 60minutes Describe every detail of the child’s observable actions as fully and exactly as possible in the center column. In the left column record the time every 10 to 15 minutes. Later, add your interpretive comments.
Briefly describe the setting, action and participant: My first subject is Aubrey, my girlfriend’s daughter who is 6 months old. Her father is African-American and her mother is Asian. It has been very interesting to see the cultural differences we have. Roman, the father was born and raised in the United States. Cecilia, the mother, was raised in the Philippines and has only been in the states about 5 years. I have been amazed at the accuracy of the book in relations to the socio cultural theory. Although, Roman was raised in America his opinions in child raising are very much in tune with the descriptions portrayed in the African society. Time | Objective Description of Behavior: Describe what you see and hear | Interpretive Comments | 4:00pm 4:15pm | Aubrey is sitting in the center of the living room on a blanket while her parents watch a movie. Roman is very attentive to the movie and smiled and talked to the Aubrey off and on while Cecilia spends the majority of the time attending to the baby.Aubrey can sit up good on her own, but often loses her balance and tips over. At one point Aubrey leans toward a toy and begins to tip sideways. Cecilia reacts by hollering at Roman to catch her. Roman calmly moves toward her as she falls on her side. As Aubrey looks up at her father she smiles and kicks her feet excitedly but when she looks at her mother who is obviously anxious, her bottom lip begins to pout and the tears begin to flow. | Cecilia is building trust with Aubrey. She is very responsive to

    On December 28, 2014; Rachel Melacon and Allen Coats gave birth to Olivia Coats. Unfortunately the doctor, who delivered her baby girl, by using forceps against the young couple’s wishes, caused unfixable injuries to the newborn. The couple puts blame for the death of their five-day old baby girl, Olivia Coats. However even though she requested to have a C- section, due to the size of the baby, Dr. George T. Backardjiev shut the idea down. Dr. Backardjiev told Rachel that it would leave a scar afterwards. He ended up using the forceps to deliver her baby girl. Dr. Backardjiev struggled with the forceps, “he even put his foot on the bed” to try and pull the baby out. “Dr. Backardjiev was turning and twisting, and she would never come out, he put the forceps one way and the other; when he touched the top and the side of the skull, we heard a pop, like clay cracking in pottery and heard her skull crush.” The medical staff told the couple their baby was alive; then Olivia was quickly transferred to “Children’s Memorial Harmann Hospital” in Houston Texas, it was at that hospital that they were informed that their daughter had suffered several fractures to her skull and spine; then on January 2nd Olivia Coats died. Angie coats told ABC News “we’re not mad at the hospital, this not their fault. It is one man’s fault, we only want justice for Olivia; we want the person responsible, which is the doctor. We don’t want the hospital being shunned.” The parents plan to sue Dr. Backardjiev for the death of their baby girl. The hospital administration and independent medical staff leadership are all committed in taking all necessary actions in understanding why this happened. The Houston Chronicle reports that the parents of Olivia Coats started a campaign to ban the use of forceps during delivery called “The Olivia Law.” The couple also started a fundraiser on Go Fund Me to raise awareness about the use of forceps explaining how damaging they can be, so far the…

    Other themes that develop include kinships, friendships and relationships, the role of women, and parenting and childbirth. Throughout the book, there are many strengths that the author demonstrates through her writing style and her honest portrayal of what is happening within the community of this village. Kris Holloway does an excellent job of portraying issues surrounding medical care, pregnancy, and childbirth, while also helping to show how her relationship with Monique developed into a strong friendship. While the book does portray real challenges and struggles that these women face, it does a good job of getting across the facts without sounding too dry while doing so. Kris is also able to portray emotions and set up emotional scenes that really connect with the reader and keep them wanting to engage further into the book and discover more about Monique’s story. Another major strength is that the book flows really well and is easy to read and get involved in. There are not many weaknesses but Kris Holloway did not focus as much on birthing practices in Mali as I had expected and it did seem at times that she didn’t appreciate their birthing traditions there, and just related them as unsanitary and having to do with being in…

    To begin with, this novel is mostly about slavery which has been a major issue for decades and maybe still is today. A little after the ship ride, Amari was sold to Mr. Derby and then given as a birthday present to clay, his sixteen-year old son. Amari then meets Polly an indentured white girl. Who has the same dreams as her, to get freedom. I can tie this to Health and social education because as a teenage girl when you see your family get killed then you’re captured and soul many tend to lose hope and think there the blame so they will beat themselves up for it. Many people today still trade people or do human trafficking which is illegal. Another thing from the story is when Mr. Derby beat Amari on conscious, which is a form of abuse and maybe attempted murder. All because of a little spill. Many people today still face many types of abuse and some keep quiet about it because it’s their own flesh and blood. But that’s still…

    The mother seems to be abusive, demeaning and cold. Her tone throughout the story is critical and commanding. The way she talks to her daughter makes me feel as if there were no warm feelings in their relationship. The mother gives orders, scolds her daughter and demands things “on Sundays try to walk like a lady and not like the slut you are so bent on becoming.” The mother doesn’t respect her daughter and accuses her of behaving in a wrong way. She seems to be bitter and cold. The mother dictates how her daughter should act “don’t squat down to play marbles-you are not a boy, you know; don’t pick people flowers-you may catch something…” It seems that it’s important for the mother that her daughter is not rejected from the society and follows social norms. She tells her daughter “how to make a good medicine to throw away a child…
