What makes this book to be a captivating literature is how the thoughts have been arranged in the book. First, Hvistendahl commits her first two-thirds of the book by investigating on the some of the reasons that are behind the existence of such a dreadful shift in the population within the Asian region. This is a clear indication that she is not just focused on reporting the problem, but analyzes the causes so that appropriate measures can be devised for the purpose of coming up with different ideas of handling such a devastating social problem. As indicated by Hvistendahl, there is planned abortion that is carried out on female offspring upon discovery through ultrasound, and this is carried out also by the wish of the parents (Hvistendahl 149).

Short discussed the risks of a growing population such as food shortages, depletion of nonrenewable resources, and climate change. More developed countries have become concerned about the high birth rates in East Africa and Southern Asia. The MDC’s have talked about possibly sending funds to the less developed countries to educate their people on contraceptives. Sexual education would not only benefit the women who have large families, but it would also be doing the whole world a favor.
Fighting for justice in “Revolutionary Suicide” presents two conflicts between suicide and salvation. In Oakland California around 1970, African Americans were being so mistreated that a movement was created to fight for black power which is known as Black Panther Party. African Americans were going up against the police and government of the racist south. This was a time Jim Crow laws had just ending along with segregation ,but that dosen’t mean that the whites of the south still didn’t have the same intentions they used to have about blacks. Which lead to many confrontations that resulted in death or injury causing revolutionary suicide. In poem “Revolutionary Suicide,” The style of the poem is built of a cause and effect. First, the speaker addresses that having nothing causes him to have everything .“By having no family I inherited the family of humanity …By having surrendering my life to the revolution I found internal life.” Readers can get an impression that the speaker would make a great leader. Especially when he tells the audience that he is willing to sacrifice himself in order to gain revolution. The speaker is confronting the opposition letting them know he is not afraid of death nor them. He also writes this in the poem
The world population is only growing. The U.N. predicts that from today’s 7.5 billion we will reach 9.3 billion by the year 2050. (World Population Prospects n.p) In New York Times author Nicholas Kristof’s article, The Birth Control Solution, Kristof attempts to promote family planning as a solution to many of the world’s problems. He will do this by giving examples that an out of control global population causes poverty, conflict, and environmental damage; and that family planning would be a cost effective solution.
This policy does not only limit the number of children a family can bear; it has also caused gender imbalance. In addition, it places pressure on women as families believe in passing down their family name down generations. They were also subjected to forced abortion if it appears to be a baby girl, and are blamed if they were to give birth to a baby girl. This difference in treatment took a turn for the worst after 1986, when ultrasound tests and abortion became easier to come by. Not only has the policy stole the freedom of women’s rights to make decisions, it had also led to the increase of female infanticide

India has a difficult social issue to have an abortion if it is the female fetus of a family who wants boys. The market leader in India is under the spotlight because campaigners against the practice are going to spread ultrasounds machines. This major problem faces legal hurdles, government scrutiny and thorny business problems which is one of the world’s fastest growing economies. 927 girls for every 1,000 boys compared with 945 in 1991. GE agrees that bringing or expanding more ultrasounds machines will increase the number of female fetuses, while in U.S. the purpose of ultrasound during pregnancies is to produce images of fetuses or internal organs for a range of diagnostic purpose. Which means that a number of males and females born
Then I will analyze the current Japanese situation by using various literatures, not only works of feminist scholars such as Petchesky (1985) and Norgen (2001), but also works of cultural anthropologist scholars such as Burnlund (1989). As Okin argues, even though Japan has a different cultural background from other developed countries, especially Western countries, cultural exception should not be adopted (1998, p.38). I agree on her argument, therefore, I do not intend to discuss that the conclusion of CEDAW ignores the Japanese cultural character, and it is wrong or inadequate. However, to understand the problem and its background, analysing it within the framework of culture might be still necessary. In addition to the works from those scholars, I am also using research data of contraceptive use in Japan as it seems to be remarkably unique among developed countries (Sato et al, 2006).
Artificial reproductive technology (ART) is defined as procedures which stimulate a woman 's ovaries to produce eggs, the eggs are then removed, combined with sperm, and then returned to a woman 's body (Bell, 2016). ART is becoming more and more popular throughout that globe. This method of conceiving children gives women who may be struggling with infertility options that were not possible before the advent of such methods. ART is relevant to the sociological definition of global health because it is evidence of the fact that our world has become interdependent especially when it comes to medical technology. However with ART comes the notion of the culture of disguise and in many countries this is an integral part of artificial reproductive technology process. With that being said, sociologists should look to study and understand the culture of disguise in ART as it pertains to global health and it shapes interactions between people and the society they live in.
