The Baby's Not Dying 658.4

My health assignment was based on this article....I found it very interesting. I agreed with the comment posted by "Bob". http://charactercounts.org/michael/2010/02/the_babys_not_dying_6584.html#comments My stand is against Jack's decision. Read and comment.

Hence the fact that I believe that Jack should’ve been seen more as a very generous person, instead of naïve, I strongly agree with Bob’s comment. Perhaps jack was being a bit naïve, since he didn’t question the women with the baby and assumed right away that she was in need. His family does come first before anything,. Who knows, he probably needed that money, but felt sorrow for the woman. He obviously is a poor decision maker. Even though we are not given any other information about the woman, one can assume she is practically unfit for caring for a child.

Jack’s wife, on the other hand, is a good hearted person. In the end she says, “I’m so proud to be married to a man with such a generous heart”. I feel that she should have been given the money. After all, family comes first. On the contrary, it is obvious that his son was being ignorant and very disrespectful to his own father.

The only thing that the woman deserved, was time in prison. The baby probably deserved the money, but being under the care of an unfit mother is not always the case. He or she, she be taken away from the woman and placed with a family whom will provide it with care.

Mi Querida Oaxaca

While I was growing up, I knew that my ethnic background was obviously Mexican. Both of my parents were born in Mexico. But, deep in southern Mexico lies a beautiful place, a land of dramatic beauty, proud heritage, and food. This is the state of Oaxaca where my mother was born. My mum raised me with her culture, traditions, foods, and customs. As I a kid, I never really took pride in my culture...not until I got older. That's when I realized that my culture was like no other. Soon enough, I was amazed by it and what amazed me most, was my mothers Indigenous ways.

 

I would like to share with all of you, the uniqueness and beauty of my culture. The Oaxacan culture First, I will talk about the people, then the languages, the tradition, the variety of foods and lastly, traditional dances.



                  Here in Oaxaca, you do not just find Mexicans, but also Indians.

I have discovered on the website called “oaxacaninsider.com”, that Oaxaca reflects the indigenous portion of Mexico with the largest population of indigenous people of any Mexican state. More people here speak indigenous languages than elsewhere.
In the article, “The Indigenous People of Oaxaca“, the two main groups of Indians that live here are the Zapotecs (347,000 people) and Mixtecs (241,000 people).


Oaxaca has been divided into 7 regions: the coast, the valley, mixtecs, sierra, isthmus, papaloapan, and la canada. These small communities, have their own language, clothing and dances.
