I am not sure what kind of article you need, but here is one of the response paper that hit on the social Guilt of inability“Lifeboat Ethnics, Mother Love and Child Death in Northeast Brazil” is a very interesting It is talking about mothers and the entire community’s attitudes toward the deaths of After reading the first page of this article, my initial thought was “why is it dangerous to love your child?” It might be sad and heart-broken to lose a child, but how is it dangerous? What are the risks/costs of loving the child? Scheper-Hughes did not address this question thoroughly through out her Scheper-Hughes mentioned that the mothers’ attitudes over the deaths of their infants puzzled This puzzlement already shows her standards of what things should I do not think she blended into the community to observe things from the perspectives of the community members; instead, she used her own standards as an outsider to judge that The key point the author missed was that everyone, mothers, doctors, government, in this community understand the problem but since they are unable to change it, they justify these deaths rather than grieving over the dead children because they understand that they still need to keep go on in their life They need to save themselves as well as the ones, who they believe could be able to Scheper-Hughes quoted one girl’s words,” that baby never got enough to eat, but you must never say that!” They realized what the problem is, but they refused to believe it or even remind themselves of that problem because they think they cannot improve the They let “nature’ do its As Scheper-Hughes says “the death of hungry babies remains one of the best kept secrets of life in Bom Jesus da Mata” It becomes a best kept secret because nobody wants to remind themselves of their failures; therefore, they buried everything, including their memories with the This community also shows some sort of “masculinity” among these Because the absences of men, mothers were the ones who provide for their They are the mother as well as the father for the The death of a child shows the inability of the mothers to provide enough food for their children, which strikes a chord on their That is why they prefer to believe in the religious belief that their children were not dead; they just went back to their heavenly home with J This belief also shows some guilty of the mothers for unable to take good care of their The mothers want their children to live, but they were unable to provide the enough essential nutrition for Therefore, they think that the children are better off dead and have a happy life in The guilt of the government explains the free coffins and no documentation for a child’s
