China one child policy

China’s one child policy is the topic of my blog today. First of all China’s one child policy is that people in china can only have one kid and if they have more than one kid they have to kill it or put the kid up for adoption. It was established by Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping in 1979 to limit communist China's population growth. It has also been said that the policy will remain at least until 2010. It is also said that the population has been reduced by 250 million. There are some good things to this policy but some bad things as well in this policy, which is what I will talk about. Sure the one child policy helps slow down the population but at what effect. Some people want to have a big family while some don’t. The people that do want to have a big family cant do anything about it unless they move from china. The people that don’t want to have a big family, this policy helps them because they have a reason for having a big family and if they do have a kid they can just abort it or put the baby up for adoption when it’s born. Last year in my World Geography class I learned that there are also more boys born then girls. I think it has some thing to do with the policy. Parents over their will prefer boys over girls so they can help them in the future instead of getting married and going away. You can have a second child in china but the first child has to be a girl. That was sort of a good thing, now the bad things is that if you do have more kids then two you will have to pay large amount of fines. That’s what I think about the policy.

Some of the information I got comes from this website
