This week in class we discussed  whether someones sexual orientation is based on nature or nurture.  We  spoke about how gender expectations vary based on different cultures, and the inequality between the genders. One main thing that we discussed, and did an interview on was about Female circumcision. For the interview we asked our interviewee what  they thought, and felt towards female circumcision. My interviewee though that if its for religious purposes then practicing female circumcision was who they are, and what they believed in, however he though that it was cruel, because of the way they did the circumcision. He mention to me that he didn't know that female circumcision took place, and honestly I wasn't aware that this ritual took place neither. My interviewee wondered what is the whole purpose people practiced female circumcision.  He said that its wrong and that its cruelty towards innocent young girls that don't know or understand at that point in childhood, and have to go trough that pain.
