In this documentary “babies” show the life of four babies from Mongolia, Namibia, San Francisco and Tokyo. It also saw the culture on the influence on the development of the physical, cognitive and psychosocial of the four babies that from others countries. The culture of each baby is very different when we see from theirs life and the environment. For example the place of their born like Ponijao and Bayarjargal theirs have a very poor family so theirs born the babies at home. So it is not like the lives of other people who are born in hospital and can get a very good services but all of them was born healthy.
In the early a few months, the baby was breastfeed at their mother. It is because breast milk has a good nutrition for the baby. So that, they should take milk from their mother to get good milk because can help to protect the baby from infections such as diarrhea, colds and more. That mean it is very important to the baby when they still a baby.
Besides, in this documentary also shows the cognitive development where the babies was learn something from their observation and from the visual. They was learn something from the people around them. For example, the babies from Namibia they always learn something from theirs brother and did what their brother did cause they don’t have thing to play it is like a toy or something and they just play with animal and nature thing in their environment. Not only that, they also cry when their brother was angry and hit them. But for the other baby who was different environment and culture they are learn something from the book and the toys and so on. Not only that they actually have many things to use to improve their knowledge and so on.
Besides that, this documentary also shows the physical development. The babies is actually have their own personality which is relatively to emotion, temperament, and behaviour. It is because they can cry, angry and sad at the time. For example Bayar cries when they feel uncomfortable and from that they try to get a attention from their mother. But for the Mari and Hattie their mother was send them to the school it is because their mother was busy for work so that they actually have a no time with their mother. But when their mother send to the school the teacher was teach them to sing and play together and do anything for them. From that a baby is not boring and can happy with them.
Thus,
My overall to the documentary is this documentary was teach and tell us about other people culture and see their environment surrounding at us. Besides, I also can learn something that I never know from this documentary. I also can see the different environment from the four baby. This documentary can tell us about something that we never know before this.
