China One Child Policy and Internet (Posted last week and two weeks ago)
According to what I've read about the internet in China, it said that the internet was established in 1987, and currently there are more than two million teenagers are addicted to it. Reports showed that there were more than 110 million users of internet in China in 2005. The number of internet users are increasing, and more people are using the internet; that means the policy for internet users are very strict. The government in China was afraid that the internet would spread information that they think would be inappopriate to let the people of China read it, so they have restrictions that would banned articles that mentioned anything bad about the government . They have a system called the Great firewall of China, which blocked websites or prevented the flow of information that they think can spread the wrong ideas to the people of China. As we all know that freedom of press is prohibited in China, which means that the media, the newspapers, etc. are under the control of the government. Everything in the newspapers, internet, and media should have the permission of the government before it can be out to the public. In my own opinion, I think that if China wants their country to be better, then they should let everybody's voices be heard. The reason why I think that it's a bad thing for China to restricted freedom of press or speech is , because if the government wants to become a stronger and better country, then they should listen to what the citizens of China want or say. Of course, there are still a lot of changes that could be done to make China a better country, and by listening to what the people want and their opinions are a very useful thing for the government to makes changes.

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.

China's one child policy has both its pro's and con's like all things. On the one hand it has offered a very practical though not morally appealing solution to their overpopulation problems. On the other hand there are many ethical problems with the concept of the policy.
My parents decided to adopt from China two years ago. Coincidentally I had signed up to take Chinese as my foreign language. I was very excited about going to China with my mom after one year of Chinese. It was great experience for my language skills and helped me tremendously in understanding the cultural differences between our two cultures. Even though we were only there for two weeks I learned a great deal about China.
When I finished my required years of Chinese, I decided to minor in Chinese Studies. One of the major reasons I did so was because I wish to be a resource for my little sister when she grows up a bit and wants to know more about her Chinese heritage. That is one of the main problems with Chinese adoption. It is my belief that one serious problem with the policy is that all of these Chinese adopted children are losing thier heritage. Therefore, I hope to do my part to help the problem. I think it is important that my sister know where she came from and be able to appreciate the long tradition of the Chinese.
