    “Newly released data from China’s 1990 census support previous suspicions that 5 percent of all infant girls born in China are unaccounted for. It is not clear what has happened to them. Are they killed at birth, drowned in a bucket of water by the midwife, on instructions from parents who want a son rather than a daughter? Or are they given up for adoption? Or perhaps they are raised secretly to evade the one-child policy? Some evidence suggests a combination of these factors accounts for the missing girls, although officials usually insist that very few are killed” (Women’s International Network News). This is the current situation in China, the most populated country in the world. With more than one billion inhabitants, the government has installed a one-child policy to stop overpopulation from damaging…

    The most significant component to successful marketing is to gain the loyalty of the youth. Today’s consumers relate to brands that help define who they are and who they will like to be in the future. The youth in China are now deciding what they want for their own lives. In the past, their parents and elders were deciding and choosing what was best for them. The families did not have much money. Unlike the youths in the U.S., the youths in China are more focused on more of what they need. They want to figure themselves out and define who they are. They are finding more way to individualize themselves and be unique.…

    In the early nineteenth century rural Kwantung in China, there were a group of women, who were different from the other Chinese women. They go through a hair-dressing ritual and vowed to remain unmarried in their whole lives. They are called zishu nu, which means women who make their own hair. There are two authors, Marjorie Topley and Ziling Ye who had both written a research paper on zishu nu with distinct perspective in respective time. In this paper, I would first look into Topley then Ye’s paper about zishu nu and compare the two authors’ different point of views and perspectives in analyzing the particular phenomenon of zishu nu.…

    “Molly Zhang, a 31-year-old account manager in the lighting industry, just had her second son. Now she has to pay a fine likely to total 30,000 yuan ($4,760), roughly equal to her annual salary, for violating China's one-child policy.” This is the harsh reality of people in china that are choosing to have more children without falling into the criteria China’s government has set to allow having more children. Such as ethnic minorities, who have always been able to have more than one child. For example in the event that a farming family has a girl for their first child, they are permitted to have a second child. These inconsistencies in the policy is why many have been calling for its abolishment from the beginning. (Roberts,…

    Recently even the Chinese have begun criticizing the single children who are spoiled rotten, rude, and have had everything done for them. Han Yi, a Chinese journalist came up with the term “Little Emperors” to describe their character and personalities. This term originated in imperial China, when an Emperor died his heir would take the thrown even if he still was a child. A “Little Emperor” was given the same treatment as an adult emperor and all the luxuries that came with the position. Not only did this policy leave behind awful, ignorant, insolent children, it managed to leave behind a greater amount of males. Beginning with the Confucius era, the desire for a son to take care of the family still exists in China, unlike most countries. Because of this policy there is a large imbalance of the genders. Many impregnated women performed selective abortions, where they only removed the baby if it was female. In the 1990s Chinese orphanages were filled with abandoned baby girls under this cruel, monstrous, policy. In 1995 BBC…
