This disorientation can be experienced with any age, gender, or with any one or group of people. While watching the video on China’s One-Child Policy, it was evident that these young babies were clearly disorientated and nearly terrified of the people around them.

now, one-child policy does limit the population of china, but it still left some society problems such as increasing abortion rate, imbalance of gender, the Little Emperor Syndrome and aging society.

As a result, there was a dramatic decline in live births over the next 30…

China’s one-child policy In the late 1970’s, China’s population was approaching 1 billion people. If 1 billion people were going to inhabit the 3,601,011 square miles of China, then each person would have .0036 square miles for themselves. For comparison, each American can occupy 78.629 square miles of land. Chinese government officials knew there would be population issues if its population growth would stay the same or increase. Therefore, officials took action and created a one child…

One Child Policy In 1978 a voluntary program started where families were encouraged to have at most two children because China’s population was moving closer to the one billion mark. But, it wasn’t until September 25, 1980, that the one child policy was officially put into place. Even though the one child policy has decreased the number of births per women from 6.3 in 1970 to 1.5 in 2015 and is estimated to have prevented 400 million births it has also affected the population in an undesirable…

Lauryn Hall Mr. Martin World History CP One Child Policy Was the one child policy in china actually useful? In my opinion the one child policy was a good idea because of what the statistics. They show the decline of their population and with that there is less production of materials that make their pollutions, and there was a lot more resources because they were not burning them up as fast.
