Growing up alone, terrible isn’t it? In 1980 China created a controversial law called the one child law which allowed one child per couple. Was the one child law good? No!

According to the Chinese government, 400 millions births were prevented after implementing the policy. China initiated the One-Child policy with good intention, however,…

right 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. Firstly, the abortion rate started increasing since the policy introduced. Except the reason that they could not have the second child, there was another reason—gender difference. For example, in 1970’s, people were still very conservative. According to 10 Biggest Pros and Cons of the One…

is also known as the disorientation people feel when they come into contact with different cultures, making it difficult for the person to adjust. This disorientation can be experienced with any age, gender, or with any one or group of people.
