Wednesday

Today in class we went over the population pyramid again.  Mr. Schick talked to us about China and there population.  He went over how they made a law that each family could only have one child for many years.  Many people obeyed this law because of how close the country was to its government.  It would be abnormal for someone in China to disobey the government or go against them.   Many woman would get pregnant and as soon as possible, fin out the gender of the baby.  If the child was a male, they would keep it.  If the child was a female, they would most of the time get an abortion.  This was because men usually got more attention in China.  It was easier to vet a job, the job would have better pay, and they were more respected.  Some families would choose to keep the child if it was a girl, because they believe that they are equal.
