Faith Neumann: A Case Study Of Geography-Faith Neumann

Since 1980, China has made its people the subject of an intrusive and unfair, One Child Policy. This policy was the result of Chinese officials becoming worried of the countries jump in population from 1960 to 1980 causing a widespread lack of resources, so they decided to induct a law that would make force Chinese citizens to be limited to one child. Because of this controversial policy the question has been raised, did the one child policy positively or negatively effect China? The one child policy did negatively effect China and its people, because it resulted in gender discrimination, unjust punishments and was unnecessary due to the already declining fertility rate.

Would it be fair for the Government to control how many children you have? Is it fair for them to kill your unborn children? Since 1949 under the rule of Mao Zedong, the communist Chinese government had enforced policies that control families and couples in China. The Government has forced the people to have more children at one point and less at another. The One-Child policy in China limits Chinese couples to one child each. The three exceptions to the policy are: Minority ethnic groups, urban single-child residents, and the policy only enforced on the Han Chinese. The one-child policy was a bad idea for China for three reasons: punishments (inequality), unfair treatment of women, and china’s fertility rate was already decreasing

With more than 1.3 billion people, China has to think about a solution and find ways to deal with its population explosion. In order to have control over population, in 1970, a policy named China’s One Child Policy was introduced. Mingliang argues that, “China, through the one-child policy, has instituted the most aggressive, comprehensive population policy in the world” (1). This policy limits all families in the Republic of China to have only one child, regardless of the sex: however, within this policy there are some exceptions. It is possible to have two children only if the first child is born with a disability, if parents work in a high risk job, if the couple lives in villages, or if the family is a non- Han, otherwise you are

There has been a long history of China’s one child policy, since it was first introduces in 1979 by a Chinese Leader Deng Xiaoping (Rosenberg n.p). The law was meant to be temporary and used to control the population; however it is still in use today (Rosenberg n.p). When the policy was first enforced, it only

In the United States alone, over one million babies are aborted, making the counties abortion rate one of the highest among other countries. This means that one out of every four pregnancies end in abortion, one out of three American women will have an abortion by the time they are 45, and half of women seeking to abort a baby have already aborted one in the past (“U.S. Abortion Statistics.”). Since the 1930’s, the population growth in America has been the lowest because of abortion. Two generations of Americans have technically been murdered because the aborted children will not be able to have the families and lives of their own (Steven Ertelt.).

In this world where people can acquire anything they need or want, we have to wonder, “Is the government controlling us?” Both the governments in A Brave New World and in the United States of America offer birth control pills and have abortion clinics that are available for everyone, thus making birth control pills and abortion operations very easy to acquire. Although both governments offer birth control pills and abortion clinics, A Brave New World’s government requires everyone to take the pills and immediately get an abortion when pregnant. This in turn shows us that A Brave New World’s government is controlling the population and the development of children. China is one of the few countries that currently have control of the

Due to the one-child policy there are many serious human rights infractions. Since the policy has been in effect, there have been more than 400 million prevented births ("China:

Imagine someone told you that you could only to wear a certain pair of jeans. Someone else decided for you whether or not you can wear any other pair of pants. How would that make you feel, how would you react? What if those circumstances involved a baby and someone said you had to carry and give birth to it even if you don’t want to. Society has benefitted through the access government approved abortions clinics giving women the opportunity to overcome teenage pregnancy, significantly reducing health risks, and defeating after effects of rape.

One of the more extreme measures taken in an attempt to control population has been China's one-child policy. Population advocate Garet Hardin suggests the rest of the world adopt similar policies. This paper is to show a country's government acting on theories that Hardin is popular for and the ethical and environmental effects that it had on people and the land. Hardin fails to see the ethical problems laid out by governments that suppress peoples thoughts and beliefs.

Social and racial differences have all caused genocide, refugee camps, and suicide bombers to exist. And even though some rules are made to please two parties, some consequence can arise. This is what happened in the book written by Neal Shusterman named Unwind. The book takes place in the future were there is a civil war over abortion. To end the war, the Bill of Life is proposed and it requires for all babies to be born, but when the child grows up, the parents can choose to have him aborted for a greater purpose. Unwind may take place in the future, but the events are not too different from the past and present, where genocide,

This is where I am having problems trying to wrap my head around it all. If someone got pregnant and wanted a baby and all of a sudden got very ill and the doctor said not both the mother and baby would survive. They would have to choose which one, if they terminate the pregnancy that is still abortion. Or if someone gets raped and gets pregnant and there was no abortion, they would always have a constant reminder of what happened to them. Giving the baby up for adoption, there are many emotions and feelings the mother will go through. If the government makes it a law for abortion is not allowed that means that they control a human’s body. That also just takes more rights away from the people.

Although both governments offer birth control pills A Brave New World’s government requires everyone to take the pills and immediately get an abortion when pregnant. This in turn shows us that A Brave New World’s government is controlling the population and the development of children. For example china currently has control over the amount of children a family can have because their cities are way too overpopulated compared to any other

In 1968 the proclamation of the International Conference on Human Rights revealed that parents have the right to determine responsibly and freely the spacing and the number of children. After the execution of the one child policy a lot of local governments demanded abortions once pregnancies violated local regulations. For example in July 2012 a 23-year-old mother was pregnant with her second child. When local officials arrested her she was seven months into her pregnancy. The local officials demanded her family to pay a $6,000 fine for violating the one child policy. When the family couldn't get enough money together she was given an injections that killed the baby. This is one of the many gruesome abortions that has taken place because of the one child

The majority of the world’s population is under the World State, an eternally peaceful, stable society where the population has been limited to no more than two billion people. Natural reproduction has been done away with. Instead, children are created and

The one child policy is harsh, with strict consequences from thousands of dollars of fees, to abortion pressures and even forced sterilization. Yet this policy is only focused towards urban areas, most rural areas are barely looked over. In the urban areas some people are not financially capable to pay off the penalty of having several children. Their homes get trashed, cattle and pigs stolen sometimes even children get kidnapped(3).
