Circumcision
Circumcision involve removal of the foreskin through surgery (Earp, 2015). In certain countries such as the United States, this procedure is done to newborn boys. People prefer doing it to newborns because it is easy for a child to heal (Sorokan, Finlay, & Jefferies, 2015). After the period of the newborn, the procedure of circumcision becomes complex.
