As we can see 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…

As China experienced in the successful economic achievement by ‘Special Economic Zone’, China started to look at benefits of democracy. In the book, some Chinese thinkers claim that democracy is the essential part of fostering the modern political frame because people should be respected since they have dignity; China seems to follow the Western model that advocates democracy. As a result, China has already taken an experiment on Pingchang city, where elections of the party secretaries are held;…

reluctant to admit that girls are prettier after grooming. I have never seen such expression in other cultures. So why do people get sarcastic when they see girls become prettier? Why aren’t girls allowed to be attractive in my culture? Growing up in China, I was always told by parents and teachers that “appearances don’t matter”, “girls shouldn’t wear makeup because it makes you look precocious”, “people like innocent and pure girls, not sophisticated girls with makeup”. I clearly…

In order to pass on the family name, it is necessary to produce a male child.

Nowadays Vancouver’s houses are most made by “gold” because of their shocking prices in all Canadians’ eyes. As a result, the housing affordability crisis has become one of the most serious issues which should be taken more controls by local government, instead of allowing such huge amount of foreign buyers purchase houses, because of the numbers of empty houses, the houses prices’ rising speed, and local people’s willingness of purchasing houses.

The education of youth and care of elders are prominent social issues in China. The coinage of the 4:2:1 problem has been attributed to this. The one-child policy, instituted in China four decades ago to prevent “overpopulation, economic stagnation, and catastrophic famine,” is impacting the growth of the nation in unprecedented ways (“China passes). Young adults, as well as senior citizens, are feeling the effect of the public policy. The policy slows the growth of the population and has a…

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…

the students. The remaining students looking to reinvigorate the movement however began developing new tactics, and as a result the hunger strike commenced on May 13th. This was two days prior to the visit by Mikhail Gorbachev to China, which was the first visit to China by a Soviet leader in twenty years and signaled possible normalization of relations between the two states. In a confidential Intelligence Research Report produced in December 1988, the US intelligence views the visit to be…

a major problem for China. To cope with this problem, China’s government started the “One-Child Policy” in 1979 with an aim to prevent an overpopulation disaster and to put an end to this problem.

According to the Chinese government, 400 millions births were prevented after implementing the policy. China initiated the…
