The film babies showed 4 different babies from four different countries. The cultures of these four different babies were very different. The circumstances in which these children were raised varied greatly. The baby from namibia was in a very rough situation where it was very unsanitary and there was a lot of poverty. On the other hand the american baby was in a much better conditions. This affected the way the two babies were raised. The baby from namibia was often seen chewing on rocks and bones and things of that nature where the american baby was in classes and constantly watched over. I think most people would agree that they would rather have their child be raised the way the american baby was raised but it odes not make the mother of the african child any worse. The conditions they babies were put in changed the way they were raised. I do think that these babies were raised according to their surroundings and are raised in ways that will turn them into piece of their society and a change in society would be much different for each child but at such a young age it would still be possible.

This film showed me that all the ways these babies are raised are products of their surroundings and environment. Each diffrent culture had ways of raising their babies and the similarities came in the similar cultures and circumstances the children were being raised. Another major point shown was that there is no right or wrong way to raise a baby. Parents must go with their instinct and its almost impossible to play it safe with a baby. No matter what a parent does nothing is for sure and all the different ways these four babies were raised were all the right ways to raise children because in the end the parent of that child has to choose what they believe is best and what they are able to do.
