Kaliyah Inswood Prof. Kipple ENGL 1202 12 November, 2015 One is the Loneliest Number: The Family Planning Policy in China (First Point) The adverse effects of the one child policy has not only devalued China’s economy, but women in general. Once a daughter marries, she becomes obligated to her husband’s family and is only expected to care for her husband’s parents, leaving her own without any support in their old age. The policy has made a very clear social statement to the citizens of China:…

In 1979 the Family Planning Policy was instituted by Deng Xiaoping as part of the Communist party initiative (Buckley 1). This policy, in effect, was instituted in an effort to limit married citizens to having one child only; this policy is also known as the one-child policy. The policy effected a decrease in fertility rate from about 5.8 births at its peak in 1960s, to less than 2 births in the 1990s. (Branigan 2). As a result, there was a dramatic decline in live births over the next 30…

When you think of pro-choice, what comes to mind? Abortion is the most controversial topic in America. You have people on one side (pro-lifers) who say abortion should be ban but then on the other side, you have people (pro-choice) who feel that abortion should be legal. When it comes down to it, do a woman have a choice with her own body? How can anybody take away a woman’s right to choose what to do with her own body? It took a long time for women to get the right to vote or to be treated as…

Homework is a topic that has, in some way, affected all people in the United States. Whether that be today's students, who spend hours at home working on it, their parents, who were dealt a similar hand in their time and attempt to help their children today, or even grandparents, who refer to back in the day when things were different. The amount of homework assigned over time has fluctuated, resulting in people having very different experiences with homework depending on the time. From the…

China's One-Child Policy was a policy made to help lower the population of China. The reason behind this policy was to prevent China from overpopulating. The policy was a rule that allowed you to only have one child, preferably a male. However, this policy had many negative sides to it. So, China's One Child Policy, was it beneficial or detrimental to China and its people? The policy that the government laid down on its people was detrimental because one it would make China's elderly suffer…

The policy restricted families to having only one child and required them to apply for a birth permit before starting a pregnancy. Children that lacked a permit were denied household registration (It’s a girl). The One-Child policy was introduced by the Chinese Communist Party in an open letter. In the letter, they stated four reasons for the implementation: controlling excessive…

Fact File When: China's One Child Policy was created in 1979 by Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping Why: to temporarily limit communist China's population growth. How long: It has thus been in place for more than 32 years. To who: China's One Child Policy most only applies to Han Chinese living in urban areas of the country. It does not apply to ethnic minorities throughout the country. Han Chinese represent more than 91% of the Chinese population. Just over 51% of China's population lives in urban…

The one child policy produces negative social consequences, particularly sex discrimination. With males being viewed as culturally preferable, the practice of female infanticide has been the major event. China began promoting the use of birth control and family planning with the establishment of the People’s Republican in 1979 to limit population growth. The law indicates that each family should legally have only one child. “Fines, pressures to abort a pregnancy, and even forced sterilization…

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. Though it was a temporary policy, over the course of twenty years, the population significantly dropped from 1 billion to as low as 300 million (Geography.About.com). The controversy whether or not this enactment was reasonable is still debatable, however it cannot deny the fact that this had an adverse effect on…

The one child policy helped advert 200 million births in an almost one billion populated China (Doc B & A). China’s one child policy was a way to limit Chinese couples to only one child due to the fast growing population. This was a positive notion because it contributed to helping the environment, pushed children of 1 child homes to succeed and gave women opportunities. The environment was able to thrive due to the population decrease improving the lives of the citizens. In doc C is states,…
