A Friendly Introduction

 
     Hello, my name is Rachel Dozois. I am doing a SAP (Sociology Anthropology and Psychology) assignment on the film "Babies". It is a 2010 French documentary by Thomas Blamès, that follows four humans through their first year of life. It shows and compares the differences between four different cultures. I would like you to meet the four babies. Ponijao and his family live in Opuwo, Namibia. Mari and her family live in Tokyo, Japan. Bayar (pronounced Bear) and his family live in Banyanchandmani, Mongolia. Finally, Hattie and her family live in San Francisco, California. Below is a picture of all four of the children and an idea of where they are from.

 

     Each blog I will write will have a specific purpose and component I will look at and compare. Different cultures endure life in unique and special ways. It is fascinating to see how these cultures and families are living.  Throughout these blogs there will be pictures and captions I hope you enjoy and will question and furthermore see how great and fortunate your life is. Below is the YouTube link to the movie trailer if you are curious to watch it. Thank you so much for reading. Have a wonderful day. :)
