Later legal concessions including the permission to have a second child if the first one is a girl) reflect some official recognition of these problems.
Sen's observations and the realities of second-class (or worse) status for girls and women in China raise several kinds of serious human rights issues. The first is the right to determine the size of one's family, a right that the Chinese government, for nearly three decades now, has steadily denied Chinese couples. Good economic rationales may lie behind this government decision; still, it nevertheless denies Chinese couples a basic human right that couples in other parts of the world (although not all: Sanjay Gandhi's involuntary sterilization program in post-1947 India, and the Eugenics Society's involuntary sterilizations of poor minority women in post-World War II America come to mind as other examples) have to determine family size.
Secondly (although it is debatable, depending on one's religious and/or other beliefs) when life begins, even if a female fetus is not yet a person, it should not be aborted, and its parents should not have to feel the necessity of aborting it, just because it is a female. Even if the child itself is not yet...
This is the most brutally heartless reality any prospective parent can possibly face.
Third, when Chinese baby girls do manage to survive, un-aborted, and are born into this particularly unwelcoming culture, they will be much more likely than boys their age to face all sorts of subtle and not so subtle discrimination, from the cradle to the grave: less food, even from earliest babyhood, more neglect, more abuse, and far less respect. They will face educational and job discrimination as well: thus perpetuating the economic cycle of being unable to care adequately for themselves or any others that made them so unwanted in the first place.
Finally, there is another huge looming human rights issue: one that is not frequently raised, but which will inevitably impact all of Chinese society. That is that when these many Chinese boys and few Chinese girls grow up, there will be very few girls for these boys to marry, thereby precipitating a huge societal crisis in China. These boys will then be unable to find wives in order to perpetuate their families, the very reason they were so wanted in the first place.
Women in Maritime Sector THE IMPACT OF PROMOTING WOMEN IN THE MARITIME SECTOR The participation of women in the maritime sector has traditionally been low due to historical, cultural and social factors. Although the percentage of women making up the maritime workforce has increased in recent years as a result of women's liberation movements and globalization, women are still found to be concentrated in housekeeping and hospitality functions in cruise vessels as
China's One Child Policy Historically, it is noted that Mao Zedong, once a China president encouraged population growth which saw the population of China almost double during that period of his leadership. This led to overpopulation and the stretching of the social amenities and most importantly the economy. In order to address this challenge, the one -- child policy was introduced in China. This is a policy which forbids any family
Conclusion China's growth rate has slowed dramatically in the last 30 years under the auspice of the One-Child Policy. In fact, at this point it is believed that growth rate is under 2% and that the population replacement rate is at 2.1%, meaning that if these numbers are accurate and hold up, the population of China could actually decrease at some point in the future. Hence, the One-Child Policy could be seen
The latter type of employees will act as mediators between the foreigner and the host, will point out potential mistakes and will also be more easily accepted by the staff. Undoubtedly, if Chinese who haven't had international experiences are capable of appropriately managing the business, they will be given the chance to hold top management positions after a certain period of intercultural training. 4) Referring to demand and customer relations,
China USA China and the United States are a lot more alike than many people think. However, there are more differences than similarities. To understand these differences can mean better communication. One difference is the schools. In Chinese culture, school is very formal. Students remain quiet, usually wait for the teacher to ask a question, and things are very serious. The teacher is the authority figure. Students must stand up before
Women's Love Love can be a very fickle and silly thing. It can pull the heart in so many directions and can pull one in directions that are against that of family, national tradition or culture and others. The stories of Cuicui in Border Town and are quintessential examples of how matters of the heart can make life and the feelings encountering during the same very hard to decipher, process and
