alone. This is an issue because over population can lead to hasty consumption of resources. China who has one of the largest population in the world with over 1.3 billion people, has taken a stance against over population. By introducing China’s One-Child Policy (Family Planning Policy) in 1979, China hopes to decrease its country’s annual population growth. China has implemented the policy by many different
Chinas one child policy China has had a one child policy since 1980. The one child policy limits the fertility rate that each woman can have only one child in efforts to cut down the population, and undo what Mao Zedong did to early China. Mao’s goal was to make China the next superpower nation by encouraging people to have many children. Unfortunately, Mao did not know that he was moving China backwards with this kind of thinking. In 1949 after a long civil war over who controlled China, Mao
Sophy Huang DSOC Essay 5 Revision 9 April 2012 It’s time to change a manufacturing model In the last two decades, China’s economy has grown rapidly, becoming the world’s second largest economy after the U.S. China has gained this achievement by becoming the factory of the world and exporting cheap products to oversea markets. However, recently China has been losing its advantages in the export sector, which its economy is heavily reliant on. New data shows a visible slowdown in manufacturing
China’s One Child Policy There are more than 1.3 billion people living and building families in China. Until a century ago, many Chinese families included multiple generations living in the same household. Today, though, it's no longer the norm. A typical Chinese family today includes a married man and woman with one child, and this is generally known as the core family. The percentage of core families continues to rise above other types of family units. This not due to a social coincidence

abortion and sterilization are China’s war on women” ("The Reality of China's" 1). This was said by Reggie Littlejohn, the president of Women’s Rights Without Frontiers. Due to the rising population and the one-child policy, there are many human rights violations; however there are organizations, such as Women’s Rights Without Frontiers, which are helping to stop the problem. Due to the one-child policy there are many serious human rights infractions. Since the policy has been in effect, there have
China’s One Child policy has been called inhumane, harsh, and unnecessarily cruel considering that other countries have been successful in controlling their population without abducting babies, denying illegal second children an identity or forcing abortions and sterilizations. Since the One-Child Policy has been effective in slowing the growth of China’s population even though it has been heartbreaking to many families, it is important to analyze the effects of the One-Child Policy on the people

Mao believed humans were extremely precious and people should produce as much offspring as possible. The slogan “Late, Long, and Few,” meaning to marry late, wait long before having children, and have very few children, came into play when
My initial thoughts about China’s One-Child policy was that it is absurd and immoral. However, after fully investigating other reasons behind the policy I found it to be necessary. The use of the one-child policy has regulated China’s population which in fact can benefit not just China, but the rest of the world’s environmental impacts.
