The practices of midwifery have fluctuated in the years, growing in and out of popularity. Why has this occurred? Midwifery is no longer the most common method of childbirth. Society now considers is most logical to deliver babies in hospitals, with the help of doctors. It is also viewed that midwives are not fully equipped with the knowledge or technology to safely deliver babies in a home environment. What most women in America don’t realize is that midwives are usually just as trained in delivering babies as any doctor, and most of the time they have safer and more logical methods. The fact of the matter is that many of the protocol methods in hospitals actually infringe upon the rights of the mother in making decisions about her childbirth. This essay will analyze the many different ways that hospital protocol is actually harmful and unnecessary while midwifery practices more perfectly attend to each individual mother and child’s needs. It will also explore where these new traditional practices come from and how they have been led astray.

ReplyDeleteI had the same question when I read the intro. Your topic sounds very interesting, I just think you could add a bit about how it connects with new media to add depth to it.
ReplyDeleteWell, my paper's topic is not about new media at all actually. The teacher said it was also an option to write about something and only have one section relate to new media. Which is my plan. so... you new media fans will just have to wait. but I didn't find it important to have a connection to new media in the intro as that is not the main part of my paper.
ReplyDeletedo not forget to write out your conjunctions. :) what paragraph is going to be on media? I read your draft and do not remember one, do you still have to write it?
