In my own opinion, I think that the China One Child Policy is a good thing for China, even though it has been criticised by many Western religious groups. They think that in general that the one-child policy is against human rights of reproduction. They criticised the China One Child Policy due to the fact that because of this policy that's why most families in China used the method called sex selective abortion, which highly destroyed male-female ratios population. This created the result that there are more male than female. But in the good side the China One Child Policy reduced the problems that come with overpopulation, like epidemics, slums, overwhelmed social services like health, education, law enforcement, the availability of land and more. Even though it has some criticisms, it still has helped China with all the problems that I have mentioned above. In conclusion, I think that with this policy, China's economy has increase tremedously due to the fact that if China doesn't have overpopulation, then there will be enough jobs for every citizens and unemployment rate will be low.**** I need help with this blog thing****Posted by Hoa Pham at 4:33 PM Saturday 1-13-2007 0 comments

I Agree with Hoa Pham, in that while the China One Child Policy impinges on the freedom of the Chinese, it has helped curb over-population and the problems associated with it. What I find most interesting about the topic is the more philosophical debate over freedom that one can argue. First and foremost we must understand that China is not a liberal democracy like the United States and that makes it a different game on the practical level, However the theoretical ideas of freedom and be weighed back and forth with out considering China's human rights specifically. It is easy to say that the China One Child Policy is impinging on freedom, but I want to argue that it is increasing the freedom of the Chinese. By reducing poverty, eliminating slums, curbing disease, and increasing healthcare the Chinese have more opportunities and thus more freedoms. What concerns me more so is the implications of of the male/female population ratio. It is a shame that as China becomes more capitalist that they are becoming more patriarchal as well.
