"All Babies Are Cute" - Welcome to the world, Wyatt Isabelle Kutcher

World-famous celebrity couple Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis are the proud new parents of baby girl Wyatt Isabelle Kutcher, as reported by several media outlets. Apart from seeing the parents on television and in movies I don't know much about them, nor do I need to. They're both good at what they do, that's what matters to me. I know I've enjoyed their work on more than one occasion. So, why am I commenting on their happy news?

The proud father posted a birth-notice online with eight baby photos, including one of a dog and one of a llama. I thought his words worth repeating:

Mila and I would like to welcome Wyatt Isabelle Kutcher to the world.  May your life be filled with wonder, love, laughter, health, happiness, curiosity, and privacy. 
Can you guess which one is ours, or does it really matter? All babies are cute. 
-Ashton

What struck me about the first paragraph was the last word: privacy. Especially, how different their lives must be from mine (and those of so many) that it is necessary to include that specific word in this happy announcement. I've seen enough celebrities being chased by paparazzi (on television) to know that being followed by people with cameras everywhere you go can be very intrusive and dangerous too. No matter who their parents are or how good they are at their jobs, no child should be followed by strangers with cameras wanting to document their every move. I hope Wyatt Isabelle gets to live the life her father wants for her - including privacy.

"All babies are cute."

How true. It doesn't matter which of the cute babies is theirs because they are all cute and more importantly - they all look like babies. Wyatt Isabelle is (so I assume) healthy, whole, alive, her mother is doing well, her father is over the moon - That is what should matter, more than anything else.

The one who changed my thinking

There's a difference between the person who writes this blog, and the person I am when not writing this blog. In my personal life, I'm quiet, someone who doesn't like attention. There are two reasons for that: One: I often feel like people just don't get me. Being 'the outsider' is just easier. No strained interactions. No having to try to fit in. Two: When it comes to stuff I am passionate about, like sociology, psychology, politics and religion, my opinion differs from many around me. I am pro-Israel.  Something that doesn't seem very popular or mainstream. Especially since October 7th. Being pro-Israel, to me... That doesn't mean that I support, or agree with, every decision the Israeli government makes. Far from it. But do I support Israel's right to exist? Yes. Do I support Israel's right to defend itself? Yes. Do I feel that the world is against Israel? Also: Yes. On the 7th of October 2023, a large number of rather angry men entered towns ...

Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Theory

Urie Bronfenbrenner (1917 - 2005) was a Russian American psychologist and professor known for developing the Ecological Systems Theory. He was generally regarded as one of the world's leading scholars in the field of developmental psychology. I learned about theorists such as Bronfenbrenner while studying towards my B.Ed. Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory views the person as developing within a multi-layered system of relationships. Using the example of a child, the systems are: The Microsystem - One's family, classroom The Mesosystem - Two micro-systems in interaction (i.e. family and classroom) The Exosystem - External environments which indirectly influence development The Macrosystem - The larger socio-cultural context. Added later: The Chronosystem - The evolution of the external systems over time. Each system contains roles, norms and rules that can powerfully shape development. (Source: Wikipedia ) The Microsystem: The setting in which the indi...

New Orleans' Garden District

Anne Rice's old house on 1239 First Street and the setting of Mayfair Manor Photo Source: Flickr Looking up information about the house writer Anne Rice uses as the site for the family mansion in her Mayfair Witches series, I came across a lot of interesting information about that particular house as well as about the Garden District area of New Orleans. As Victoriana Magazine's website puts it: One of the world's most dazzling residential neighborhoods – containing a time capsule of historic southern mansions – is located in the Louisiana city of New Orleans.  The Garden District, a large square area bounded by Jackson Avenue, Louisiana Avenue, Magazine St. and St. Charles Ave, is the live oak tree-lined "American" sector of this southern city. ... The architecture of these historic houses is a fusion of classic styles with influence of Spanish, French, Italianate and English, as well as Greek Revival. These stately homes represent some of the best...
