journal entry 5 Specialization Problem
In discussion of the problem of specialization one controversal issue is English studies has been subjected to specialization more than any other discipline in the humanities and the social science fields. On the other hand this problem is not just an academis phenomenom argues Evan Dewey, but of the conditions of the contemporary world. On the other hand the more specialized our scholarships are, the more separated it becomes from our academic world, contends Michael Berbe. Others even maintain that fusion is one of the most promising models for curricular reform in Englisg studies. My own view is I agree with the idea of fusion of the different disciplines of English instead of letting it fall apart.

Sex and Fertility
There is an estimation that 1.38 billion women in the world today are of child bearing age and this age range is from 15-44 years of age. According to the article these women are more than likely sexually active but they do not wish to have children, for whatever their personal reason is. The author is making a very valid point with the statistics when he writes that most women are introduced to sex at about the age of twenty in most countries, his statistic shows that in most develop countries 77% of women have had intercourse at age 20 and 83% in sub- Saharan Africa and 56% in Latin America and the Caribbean. The author goes on to write about the amount of children couples have in most countries. He stresses the fact that couples have more than the amount of children than they desire or they have children in times when they do not want one.
The authors claim is basically couples having unwanted pregnancies, in countries all around the world. This author is making a claim of value; he writes that for every 1,000 women of childbearing age, 35 are expected to have an abortion
The big question is what happens next should abortion be the solution for unwanted children or should couples go through an unwanted birth. The author uses statistical data to back up his claim by writing, 28 million pregnancies occur per year in developing countries where the average family size is small, he stresses 36% end in abortion and 49% go through with the unplanned pregnancy. In larger families there are 182 million pregnancies occur annually, 20% end in abortion and 36% give birth to the unplanned pregnancy.
The author’s facts are that 46 million women have children around the world annually; he writes 78% live in developing countries and 22% in developed countries. The author gives the value in this article by writing, the reasons women give for having an abortion are, they have enough children, they want to delay the next birth of their child, they are too young or not economically enough to have a child, they do not want to be a single parent, they have to finish school first, or they do not want children while they are working. In 39% of the world women live under restrictive laws the author writes, where abortion is given the ok to save a woman’s life. Due to unsafe practices of performing abortion women are experiencing serious health complications. The author makes a point that poor women attempt to terminate their pregnancy with unsafe methods. An estimated 6000,000 million annual pregnancy-related deaths worldwide and 13% are related to unsafe abortion practices. The author is letting the readers know how serious this situation is before someone plans to have an abortion, this is a very effective technique in helping his argument, about abortion and unwanted birth. Should abortion be legal? This debatable topic would be with us until eternity.
