    Edna's Inequality

    The late 19th and early 20th centuries were a time of great struggle within American society. Politically, there should have been equality, for all people were given the same rights by law. However this certainly was not the case in reality, for society was not accepting of any change; there was in fact prevailing inequality. Kate Chopin challenged this reality with her bold, unconventional ideas, but was scorned by the traditional view of society when she first published her novel, The Awakening in 1899. This novel reflects the author’s own personal life experiences and through the protagonist Edna Pontellier and also portrays her views on the cultural, political and social norms of this century through Edna’s actions, as well as her emotions towards herself, society and the other characters in the novel. The struggle for gender in this time period was often depicted as a physical…

    Population Control In China

    Population Control is a thing that has been going on for ages, dating all the way back to the late 1700s in the French Indian war. Nigeria, Philippines and India are all countries that use some form of population control. However, China is the country that has garnered the most attention for their method of population control. In 1978, China’s population was 956 million people. India was the second largest country, with a population of 667 million people, a staggering near 300 million less people than China. In 1978, a woman was having about 3 children in her lifetime on average, so China decided to introduce a “one-child” policy for population control. This meant that families were only permitted to have one child per household. Ultimately,…
