Critique of "Celebrate Birth"

Paper Summary:

This paper explains the contents of the video briefly, stating that it is designed to explain both the intricacies and enchantment of childbirth and the benefits of what has been called the "Lamaze Techniques" of natural childbirth, one in which natural relaxation and breathing, coached by the husband/partner is used. The writer examines each section separately, explaining what the scene and providing critique of the methods used.

From the Paper:

"Promotion material on the Lamaze web site says that "Celebrate Birth!" appeals to the intellectual, emotional, and intuitive sides of viewers. It explains the design of the birth process, suggests and models labor skills, and shows expectant parents and caregivers that birth can be a positive and empowering experience (www.lamaze.com). After viewing and analyzing the tape, it seems that it appealed more to the emotional, than to the intellectual or intuitive (whatever that means in terms of childbirth)."
