    The Boxer Rebellion went on to cause severe damage in the relationship between China and the west. Immediately after the rebellion, a lot of countries cut all of their ties with China. These countries believed that China was not to be trusted, as it was very weak and had no strict power at the time. However, some of the differences were ignored when World War II began. China was associated with the Soviet Union and fought with the Communists against…

    A Child in Bagladesh

    A child in Bangladesh as compared to a child in the US can be a sad, disheartening picture. Many children in Bangladesh can be found sleeping and living on the streets. There are orphanages but the struggle greatly to keep open due to lack of financial support. They rely a lot on donations and volunteered services such as medical, etc. Due to lack of sufficient government Bangladesh does not have CPS, welfare, food stamps, Medicaid, etc. like we do here in America. We also have child labor laws that Bangladesh does not have. Many children do not have the chance to get an education as they are forced into work to help support their family.…

    The millennium development goals (MDGs) have been widely accepted as a framework for improving health and welfare worldwide. Child mortality is one of the most crucial and avoidable global health concerns. In many low income countries, 10-20% of children die before reaching 5 years of age . The child mortality in MDG (to reduce the under 5 mortality rate by two thirds between 1990 and 2015) is formulated as a national average.(UN- child mortality report -2012) Child mortality, also known as under-5 mortality, refers to the death of infants and children under the age of five. In 2011, 6.9 million children under five died, down from 7.6 million in 2010, 8.1 million in 2009, and 12.4 million in 1990. Reduction of child mortality is the fourth of the United Nations ' Millennium Development Goals.(UNICEF-Press release-Sept17-2010) As per the Millennium Development 4 Goals (MDG) India has to reduce its Child Mortality Rate (CMR) by two-thirds between 1990 and 2015. It implies that India has to reduce its under five mortality rate to 38 per 1000 live births by 2015 (UNICEF SOWC 2008) to achieve the MDGs. However, the office of the registrar general of India has recently cautioned that, after a rapid decline during 1980-90, the IMR in India has stagnated since 1993 at the level of 72 [GoI 2000] This means that the programs which addressed the problem of child mortality (reproductive and child health program, immunization program, ICDS) were no longer effective in further reducing the IMR, and a larger proportion of infant deaths were now contributed by neonatal deaths because this component is influenced little by the current programs [GoI 2000]. India has made progress in the reduction of child mortality with the average annual rate of reduction in U5 mortality between 1990 and 2006 being around 2.6 per cent. If India is to reach the MDG Goal of 38 by 2015, the average annual rate of reduction over the next…
