In the article “One-Child Policy Is One Big Problem for China”
published in Newsweek, the author
Susan Scutti talks about how China’s one child policy not only affecting china
in a negative way but the entire world.
Ever since China enforced the one child policy, the gender ratio in China
has completely changed. Currently there
are 32 million more males under the age of 20 than females. China has realized that they have a problem that
needs to be fixed. China has slightly
modified their policy in the recent years.
Now husbands and wives are allowed to have two children if they were
both single kids growing up. Since China’s
population is already so massive, this change will only have a slight
effect. Before the one child policy, and
still occurring today in certain areas, Parents who have a disabled girl would
most likely have an abortion or leave the baby to starve to death. They do this because they believe having a
girl is just a burden so if it’s disabled they just kill it.
Around 1851 and 1948 5 percent of female babies were killed by being left on the streets. In China their are now an excess amount of unmarried men. Men in China who are not married are called Bare Branches. The one child policy has effected the entire world because now for the first time ever there are actually more men than women.

I was shocked when I read that people in China are killing
disabled baby girls. It makes me wonder
if there is any way to help the baby’s. I asked myself, "why isn't their anyone in China willing to take these poor children in? I believe the reason why is because the government from along time a go somehow manipulated them into believing that having a boy is basically required and a girl is a burden. I’m glad that this problem is not in our country. I also was surprised when I saw the statistic
of the gender ratio in china. I knew
this was happening but I never saw the statistic before it’s effecting the
entire world. I am extremely happy that
China has modified their one child policy.
People should be allowed to have more than just one child. I was really surprised when I learned about the Bare Branches. I just can't imagine how many men are unmarried in China. This really gave me a good perspective on how many people actually live in America compared to China. I am extremely happy that I have the opportunity to grow up in America. I’m not positive that China can come back
from the effects they have caused but at least their trying to change.
I think this was a really good blog. Your writing was very good. Everything made sense and i wasnt confused about anything. The only thing that was bad is that you forgot to capitalize one of your sentences. Something that i thought was suprising is that the female babies were left on the streets to die. Something that I agreed with you is that I am proud to be an American because I have four brothers. That means I would be dead because there is only supposed to be 1 child. Overall, you did a good job. I plan to respond to more of your blogs.
