The danger and immodesty of the present too general custom of unnecessarily employing men-midwives - Challenging Gender Norms in 18th Century Obstetrics

Anonym

Beschreibung

In "The Danger and Immodesty of the Present Too General Custom of Unnecessarily Employing Men-Midwives," the author tackles the contentious issue of male midwifery in a period marked by rising medical professionalism and gender roles. Through a persuasive and often polemic style, the treatise weaves together personal anecdotes, historical context, and moral reasoning to highlight the perceived dangers of entrusting childbirth'Äîa profoundly feminine experience'Äîinto the hands of men. This literary work resonates within the context of early 18th-century debates on women's rights, bodily autonomy, and the role of gender in medicine, inviting readers to reflect critically on societal norms of the time. The anonymous author'Äôs motives potentially stem from deeply held beliefs regarding femininity and maternal care, influenced by prevailing Enlightenment thought that valorized women's roles in the domestic sphere. Operating in a cultural milieu that often marginalized women'Äôs voices, the choice to remain anonymous may indicate the author'Äôs awareness of contemporary societal constraints and the need for advocacy through a safer distance from potential backlash. This book is recommended for readers interested in medical history, gender studies, and social science, as it not only critiques a particular medical practice but also serves as a window into the broader cultural attitudes toward gender and childbirth in the early modern period. Its relevance continues to echo in today'Äôs discussions on gender in medicine, making it a vital read for those exploring these enduring themes.

Risk Makes Sense - Human...

Dr Robert Long, Joshua Long

In a world of growing risk aversion, one could be forgiven for thinking that risk doesn’t make sense. Risk elimination thinking and behaviour sets a trajectory for a ‘dumb down’ workplace culture. The more efforts are made to ‘engineer out the idiot’, the more the system creates an unthinking workforce.
A Newsletter in 2011 by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) in the UK lists a number of things that have been banned. Dodgem cars, school sack races and kite flying, amongst the activities which have been banned. Some schools have banned kids playing on monkey bars and others have banned leather footballs. A local council has instituted a $1000 penalty for kite flying on council ovals in case somebody might get hit. Even the Royal British Legion had to stop selling poppies with pins on Remembrance Day in case people might prick themselves.
The report above demonstrates just how absurd things have developed in our risk adverse society. The reality is, there is no learning without risk. Risk is not bad. You can’t live life without a ‘trade-off ’ for risk. You can’t learn without risk. We seem more than ever preoccupied with lawsuits than learning, more anxious about injury than adventure and, fearful of harm rather than welcoming creativity. The evolving language of risk elimination and cult-like fixation with everything ‘zero’ is a language that fosters the development of an unthinking workforce. As risk aversion increases, so do the resulting management systems that accompany it. This results in ‘flooding’ the worker so that they default to gut instincts, personal micro-rules and ‘risk quackery’. This increases risk. Rather than resist risk or extinguish risk, we need to embrace it and better understand it from a social-psychological and cultural perspective.
This book advocates a social psychology approach when applied to risk, a new approach to risk that identifies that risk makes sense and is sense-able.

Technology in Education -...

Craig Dames

Technology has played a crucial role in transforming education, evolving from simple tools like chalk and slates to modern digital platforms that facilitate learning in new and dynamic ways. As society has advanced, so has the need for more innovative teaching methods that enhance students’ understanding, engagement, and accessibility to knowledge. The journey of educational technology is a testament to human creativity and the desire to improve learning experiences across generations.
In the early stages of formal education, teaching methods relied heavily on oral instruction, handwritten texts, and rudimentary visual aids. With the invention of the printing press in the 15th century, books became more widely available, revolutionizing how information was shared and retained. This breakthrough allowed for the standardization of curricula and the spread of literacy on a much larger scale. Over time, blackboards and chalk became staple tools in classrooms, offering a way for teachers to visually illustrate lessons.
The 20th century marked a significant shift in educational technology. The introduction of radio and television into learning environments allowed educators to reach wider audiences, particularly in remote areas. In the 1960s and 1970s, computers began appearing in schools, though their use was initially limited to basic programming and computational tasks. As the digital revolution progressed, personal computers became more accessible, paving the way for multimedia presentations, digital research, and interactive learning experiences.
