One Child Policy Essay

Misery, abandonment, and no love, how can one let a child grow up with thoughts so negative running through their minds? Children are removed from their homes, forced to live in strangers houses, and expected to behave like they live in a stable living environment. All this is occurring so fast, that they can’t process their situation and feel like they don’t have anyone in the world that loves them. Although our nation claims to be doing the best they can with child welfare, the entire program has focused their efforts on removing children from their homes instead of focusing on the child’s emotional needs. Mr. President, we need to fix this issue now because children are the future. When a family is torn apart because allegations of abuse, neglect, or financial issues, placing a child in foster care, rather than trying to fix the problem, can only further damage a child’s well being.

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

“We may look and act modern in many ways, but we can’t escape what we are... obedient chinese daughters.” This quote sums up the world that May and Pearl live in, that no matter the culture, no matter the time period, and no matter the situation, your gender decides your fate or does it? The theme of gender and how they dictate our roles in society run rampant in Shanghai Girls by Lisa Lee. Lee’s novel covers a great deal about the immigrant experience and the struggles they had to go through to adapt to their new environment but one thing they didn 't need to adapt was the parts they played in their families. The importance of this traditional society,where the men are the breadwinners and the women the caretakers are first shown in how Pearl and Mays family worked. The father was expected to make money and take care of the household, while the mother, May and Pearl were off fooling around. When the situation turns dire, the father does not conform to his role to help his family and takes the easy way out and sells off his daughters. However the father did not account for his daughters refusing the offer he already made to pay back his debts. This caused a thunderstorm of confusion and trouble, which led to the death of respect, Pearl had for her father. For in this critical moment, the father wet himself and could not muster out a word but the mother brilliantly stepped in and defused the situation. “I see hardness in her that I’ve never seen before.”,

Discuss the ideology underpinning policy and practice for children and young people and demonstrate an awareness of constructs of childhood and adolescence from either an educational or care perspective.

Stephanie Coontz, author of the New York Times article, “Why do Millennial Men Want Stay- At- Home Wives?” raises questions about sexism and offers some ways to begin to change it. In brief, by Coontz calling attention to a sociological study, which found that a small majority of young men are now in favor of “traditional” relationships, Coontz raises the concern that Millennials are becoming more conservative than their predecessors. Especially since this relationship is where a man goes to work to provide financially and women are left to manage household responsibilities, such as, raising children. But, by reverting to this idealized representation of the past Coontz worries that Millennials will yet again define another era for gender inequality.

The Term topic I chose to research about is Child Welfare Services. This topic has a variety of different regulations and forms that makes this program run.

“Parliaments and their members can and should be among the foremost champions of child protection. They can legislate, oversee government activity, allocate financial resources and, as leaders within their nations and communities, raise awareness of issues and provide advocacy.”

Given men are traditionally able to succeed at business, when a father is thinking about what to do with his own business his immediate thought for a son to take over. Mara Hvistendahl asks in her book Unnatural Selection, “what good is material wealth if you don’t have a son to inherit it?” (2011:20) If a business grew from a startup to a success, owners, who are predominately men, want to keep the success in the family. The fathers of the world begin to train their sons from a young age to follow in their footsteps. Whether those footsteps be the CEO of a fortune 500 corporation, or a family owned auto shop; sons are groomed to inherit the name that their father has made for himself. Rarely are daughters trained to take over control of their father’s business. They are groomed by the mother to be able to tend to their husband. The world is set up to have men as leaders and women as followers. Women being labeled as second place is one of the causes of so many missing women. Their lack of importance leads to a lack of motivation by parents to spend time and money raising a girl.

I chose this topic because I view women as the backbone to the development or a nation, therefore the Chinese woman is paramount in one of the world’s great civilizations. The role of women in Chinese culture has changed over the years. When we consider the position that women held in ancient Chinese society we find that they have come a long way to be where they are today.

Child welfare is an issue that is vastly debated today in the United States. Regardless of party lines, socioeconomics, gender, religion, or race, it seems like everyone has a stake in shaping this issue. As such, progression in policy can be difficult and is often controversial. Throughout the 1900s, the United States Supreme Court heard and decided several cases that set forth precedent, giving more power to, and enabling, parents to raise their children as they see fit. As constituents, parents have a substantial say in what policy should and will be enacted. However, as individuals, parents do not have nearly as much power alone as they do in groups to influence public policy. Therefore, by banning together and creating interest groups, as well as participating in political parties, individuals who have an interest in child welfare, are more likely to make a substantial difference.
