portrayals of how society or cultures have viewed female roles to be weak. But unlike most stories the Thousand and One Nights has portrayed female roles to be brave and powerful. Characters such as Shahrazad, the demon’s wife, King Shahryar’s first wife, and king Shahzaman’s first wife play a fearless role. The two reading works that have stood out was the Homer’s Odyssey and The Thousand and One Nights. These two works show the different ways of how female and/or male roles have been portrayed…
In 1979, the one-child policy was enacted to control China’s overwhelming population. As the name states, it restricted the amount of kids a couple can have, down to a single child.

There are many different perspectives when examining this topic, but an ethical view is one of the most important because many people question whether or not it is acceptable for the government to interfere…
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? In China they brought in a new policy about 30 years ago in 1979 which indicates that couples can only have one child. But if a couple has a child that is born with birth…
September 18, 1980 would be a day that would live in infamy. With a staggering population count of almost 1.4 billion, change was crucial.

In 1958, a famine…
