One Child Policy DBQ

The one child policy only hurt China more due to its lowering fertility rate prior to the policy. “China had already achieved a remarkable fertility reduction, halving the number of children per women from 5.8 in 1970 to 2.7 in 1979.” (Document B) The facts shown here show that the policy was not necessary. In addition, since the population was already going

A final reason that the one-child policy was a bad idea is the fact that the country now faces problems, as a result of the policy. The graph is shown in Doc. A show an estimate for China's population of years 1950-2100. On the graph, when the one-child policy was implemented, the rates seemed to continue to increase at a rapid rate. This is due to Demographic Momentum , the tendency towards growing populations to continue to grow after a fertility decline . The number of people becoming adults was based on the number of births to the 1950s, not 1979, so the population would continue growing and then it will stop. This graph giver one more piece of evidence. After 2030 as it shows on the graph, the population begins to fall. China's population,

While china One child Policy was aimed for improvement, the policy has caused some serious social consequences. The New England Journal of Medicine 's article "The Effect of China 's One-Child Family Policy after 25 Years" discuss the social consequences of Chinas One child policy. The One child policy in china begin when Chinese governments viewed population containment as a benefit for living and economic improvement. They created a one child policy that limits the size of families, the policy also includes regulations regarding marriage, spacing and childbearing. The strict policy is controlled with rewards and penalties, it applies to minorities of china which are Urban residents and government employees with the exception of one-child families, first children with disabilities and workers in high-risk work settings. The policy three social consequences concerning population growth, the ratio between men and women, and the ratio between adult children and dependent elderly parents. Each social consequences causes disastrous results. The policy is a sex imbalance that creates social consequences. The sex imbalance is what causes the different social consequence with undesirable effects. The first social consequence is decrease in population growth. Population growth in china has declined in the past 25 years. The policy has prevented many births as stated in the article " Chinese authorities claim that the policy has prevented 250 to 300 million births. The total

The first reason the one child policy was a good idea is because it helped with the mass pollution problem in China. In document C Jonathan Watts states "sulfur dioxide emissions are down by 17.6% and water pollution by 30%"(Watts 1). If we didnt have the one child policy these pollution rates would most likely stay

The One-Child Policy was a good idea for a multitude of reasons such as in terms of education, environmental changes, and the gender norms in China. The One-Child policy was a rule set in motion in China to legally allow all couples to only have birth to one baby. In this document, I will explain to you why the One-Child Policy was a good idea. The first reason why the One-Child Policy was good was how it affected education and grade results. In Document F it states that "They tend to score higher on intelligence tests".

China’s One Child Policy was founded in 1949, this policy was founded upon the idea that China’s population was growing at an exponential rate (Doc B). China had one of the largest growing populations at over 150 million every year and with a population density of over 104 people/sq. km in rural areas and in cities up to 22,350/sq. km (Pop. Den.). China’s One Child Policy focuses on lowering the fertility rate of women and in turn lowers the population and population density, this is done by limiting most of the Chinese society to only having one child. China’s One Child Policy was a good idea because it focused on academic achievement, lessened the load on the environment and lowers fertility rates in women which then in turn lowers the already crowded Chinese population.

It's also a good idea because it helps control China's huge population. In document C it says "we have tried other procedures for controlling the population," this shows that other procedures haven't worked as well as the once child policy so the one child policy is a solution to their problems. However, the one child policy can also be

“Even before its inception, the one child policy was question for its necessity and its enormous social costs.”(Document B Fertility Rates) China’s One Child Policy was established in 1980 and is still in action today. The One Child Policy was put into action due to the rising population rates. There is a controversial question that has been posed, is China’s One Child Policy a good or bad idea? After all of the evidence that was gathered the One Child Policy in China is not a good idea but does have some positive effects.

The one child policy was a decision made by China because China had the largest population and they didn’t have enough resources to help the whole population, but a man named “Mao” wanted people to have many kids because they were precious and it could make China a better place. The policy has its ups and downs. It was a good idea and also a bad one at the same time. One reason I think the one child policy was a bad idea is because people should never be forced to have a certain number of kids because if a couple were to have twins only one child could stay, the other would have to go into adoption or the couple would have to pay a large amount of money to keep a kid which is very cruel. Another reason I think it is a bad idea is because there are only a small number of people that can have more than 1 child which won't really help the population because over 90% of people can have a single child while that small group can have up to 3 kids which is unfair to the people.

However, China’s one child policy has been effective in some ways. Although, it is true that the

China's One Child Policy was a very bad idea and should not have been implemented at all. If Chinese couples want to have as many kids as they want then instead of averting birth China should have to adapt to the changes and support the families. China could branch out or expand land for farming needs to support the increase of

The final reason that the one-child policy was a bad idea is because of the fact that China’s fertility rate was already decreasing and was one of the lowest rates compared to Brazil, South Korea, and Thailand in 1979 making the policy pointless and unnecessary. “The claim by the Chinese officials that the one child policy has helped avert over 400 million births simply cannot be substantiated by

Some argue that the policy is beneficial to sustain the economy, society, population, resources and the environment. About four hundred million births have been prevented with the policy helping with the population problem (Wan n.p). Pollution and a lack of resources are some of the reason that people think the one child policy is necessary. Another reason that people think the policy is necessary is if the population continues to grow it would be harder for people to find food, causing people to starve. People see the policy as a good thing because it is helping the government by not using as many resources.

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.

All in all, I don’t think that the one child policy was a good idea. People should be able to have as many kids as they want or no kids at all. The one child policy wasn’t
