Most circumcisions are done for religious or cultural reasons. Including right of passage into adulthood and elitism which brings us back to religious reasoning. However during the Victorian era secular circumcisions were started in English speaking countries at the behest of the British medical business on the ridiculous claim that masturbation was the cause of about a hundred different diseases ranging from Syphilis to insanity, and that circumcision would reduce boy's inclination to masturbate. People believed it and another profitable medical sideline was born, the practice has just about disappeared in Britain and the other ex colonies aside from the US where medical marketing is not giving it up without a fight.
Circumcisions are performed for different reasons.
The Jewish religion views circumcision as a covenant with God. Muslims consider the practice beneficial for maintaining good hygiene. It is widely embraced but not a matter of Islamic covenant or otherwise required for Muslims on religious grounds.
Australian Aboriginal people, some African cultures, and Pacific Islanders view it as a rite of passage into manhood.
In the Philippines it is considered an issue of cleanliness.
South Korea and the America have a culture of circumcising males. south Korea because they copy the US culture which is very likely also the reasoning in the Philippine's.
In country's that have an English speaking background it is performed ostensibly to protect against illness, A fad was begun during the Victorian Era that put forward the claim that boys masturbating would lead to any number of deadly diseases ranging from syphilis and gonorrhea to insanity it was then suggested that circumcision would discourage boys from masturbating. this led to a profitable additional income for doctors of the time. As people started to doubt the reasoning for the procedure the reason's changed and evolved especially in the USA where it has developed into a billion dollar business that now even involves a trade in infant foreskin into the cosmetics industry.
In the western wold Asia Russia india and china it is viewers as genital mutilation
For infants, the group that undergo this procedure most often, there is almost NEVER a medical indication at the time it is done that the procedure is necessary. The phimosis experienced by almost all infant males is not a medical problem as a mater of fact it stands to reason that the infants foreskin closely follows the contour of his penis as at infancy the foreskin is still fused to the glans penis. If at a much later date this becomes a problem which is also unusual it can be fixed without the need of amputating the whole foreskin

Circumcision was originally performed as a right of passage into adulthood or as a religious expectation it goes back thousands of years and this reasoning is still the main reason for the practice in Muslim, Jewish, and primitive tribes throughout the world. It was introduced into western society or at least the society's of English speaking countries during the Victorian era British medics claimed that it would reduce the inclination boys have to masturbate. They claimed that masturbation was bad for health and responsible for many diseases including insanity. Throughout most of these English speaking country the practice is now being well discredited. however in the united States The practice is now carried out for so called health and sanitary reasons. these reasons have been thoroughly discredited however a powerful lobby in medical circles in the US able to suppress the free distribution on of accurate information in order to stop the cessation of a lucrative business. There is however no sound reason for Circumcision. The majority of the worlds men are intact and experience no problem with their foreskins on the contrary they enjoy the health benefits offered by it.
