I chose to interview my 40-year-old neighbor, M.A., a Latin American female who has lived in the US for about 20 years. M.A. is now married and a stay-at-home mother to her 2 children. Her daughter is 10 years old and her son is 7 years old. I explained to M.A. that I was going to be interviewing her about her culture and circumcision. When asked about her personal beliefs, she shared that circumcision is not common amongst Latinos. She did claim that she is now more familiar with the custom of circumcising after living in America for 20 years. When asked if M.A. and her husband decided to circumcise their son, she claimed that they decided not to circumcise their son. She explained how at the time of the decision, she wasn’t able to support the procedure because she didn’t know of a single good reason why she should have had her child circumcised. She said she would never be able to make such a big decision when knowing so little about such a life-changing topic. When asked if there were any health benefits with circumcision, she claimed that there were no health benefits that she knew of or believed in. When asked about her husband’s input on the decision, she claims that he was the first to decide he wanted their son to be circumcised. She believes that her husband would have felt uncomfortable if their son would have been different than him since her husband is not circumcised. When asked about the hardest part of her decision to circumcise her son, she explained that the hardest part was knowing she was making a lifelong decision for her son that he wasn’t able to decide for himself at the time. She believes her son is still too young to fully understand the idea that he is not circumcised when many of his classmates are circumcised. She is concerned that in the future, her son will be embarrassed or ashamed of himself because she chose not to have him circumcised.
As a young adult with no children, I was curious to find out the reasoning as to why some cultures or families choose to not circumcise their children, which is why this was a great opportunity for me to interview her. During this interview, it was important for me to keep an open mind and be accepting of our different beliefs. I personally claim a different view than M.A. I believe that circumcision has become part of the cultural norm and is part of how people view the “normal body” in today’s world. If I was to have a son in the future, I would have my son circumcised. Similar to M.A., I also believe male circumcision is up to the parent to decide what is best for their child. However, I did not agree with MA’s view regarding not circumcising the child because the father doesn’t want to seem different than the baby. I believe circumcision should be based on what is best for the child only. Unlike M.A., I believe circumcision is a procedure that has many health benefits. These benefits include hygiene being easier to maintain, decreased urinary tract infections, and reduced risk of the child acquiring and spreading certain diseases later in life. M.A. believe that there are no health benefits related to circumcision. Not only can circumcision have an impact on your physical health, but it can also have an impact on your mental health. Similar to M.A., I also believe that circumcision can affect your mental health. Years ago, I remember a situation that involved my friend’s younger brother getting teased for not being circumcised. My friends’ brother would come home from school every day crying from all of the teasing and claimed that he felt isolated from the rest of his peers. To summarize, I feel that the pros of circumcision greatly outweigh the cons of circumcision. I understand how circumcision can appear cruel because it can be painful for the child. However, as a future parent, I feel circumcision is what is best for the overall physical and mental health of the child. America is continuously becoming more diverse as time goes on, and it is essential for our knowledge base to become more diverse as well.
