  What will be an ideal response

Question 2

In the United States, newborns are not allowed to appear on television. This means that if a baby is born on a soap opera, for example, the part of the newborn must be played by a much older baby.
 
  Why do you think that newborns are not allowed on the set, and why might
  they not be welcome even if regulations permitted?

Answer to Question 1

The answer should include a clear understanding of the visual abilities of a newborn
through 4 months of age. Infants are born legally blind which means they can focus
only on objects between 4 and 30 inches away. By 2 months they can recognize
faces, and by 3 months they can focus on specific facial features. Binocular vision
appears by 14 weeks.

Answer to Question 2

Students will probably point out that the bright lights, cameras, heat, and noise of a
movie or television set would be difficult for a newborn to handle; newborns would
not be expected to respond or behave appropriately. Also, the typical newborn is far
less attractive than most people's idea of the adorable infant.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
