    The People’s Republic of China has a long and infamous record on countless authoritarian laws that they have bestowed upon their citizens. One of their most notorious policies happens to be the One-Child Law. This law forbids families of China’s largest culture group, Han Chinese, living in urban areas, from having more than one child. Those caught with two or more children could face punishment in the form of a fine, a loss of their job, or even forced sterilization. This legislation as instituted in the year 1979 by their leader, at the time, Deng Xiaoping. The policy has led to a number of problems for the current and future state of Chinese population, with few benefits in return. Overall, I believe that even though, the policy technically…

    • 4 Pages

    China’s one child policy is a classic example of the oversimplification of a complex issue. The overreliance on numbers and scientific thought as opposed to a more balanced approach resulted in the adoption of a policy that infringed upon the rights of Chinese women to control their own reproductive rights. While the one child policy allowed China to slow down their population growth at an unprecedented speed it is important to analyze the effects the policy had that are not quantitative. The…

    debate is that the One Child Policy is wrong in the Catholic Church, and I believe that this statement is false. In the early 1970s, birth rates in china were around 4.77 percent, and that had decreased to 1.64 percent in 2011, and therefore allowing less people in the future generations and then creating less of human activity on the earth. Recently, the Pope has been around the world preaching about climate change and the effect of human activity on the earth, so why don’t we do what he has…

    I am going to talk about the one baby policy in china; I find that is it intolerable and comes across as very silly in my perspective. I want to get the policy changed because no couple should be controlled on how many children they are permitted, how would you feel if someone told you, that you were only allowed one child?
