A child is born has been written by the world famous feminist Australia writer named Germaine Greer. In this prose, Germaine Greer describes many differences between a traditional and modern society in the matters of pregnancy and how to celebrate the birth of the child in both societies.
A pregnant woman of the traditional society in the west does not feel herself alone while she is pregnant because In the western society, the pregnant mom too much respect by her family members and others person. In traditional western society mom is called by the name of her first child after the child birth.
The newly born infant is taken care by all the members of society. So, at last, the permission is given by the boy’s mom to go to her mother’s house for the last months of her pregnancy and about the first three month of the baby’s life –for better care . So, Western society are respected and praised too much for their Such a Courage.
In traditional western Society, the child birth is celebrated as a ceremony. People attend this party with some gifts too see the child and to congratulate that mom.
While In the modern western society, pregnant woman has to take care of herself under the guidance of nurses and doctors. In west, child is only born to fulfill the needs of parents. So, the western pregnant woman has to bear all the pains during child birth and child rearing.
There is no Such system in modern western Society. So, we can say that the Western Society is for better than western modern Society in the matter of child birth and child care.
