    A Comparison Between Marjorie Topley and Ziling Ye’s Research on Zishu Nu

    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.…

    Gender Roles: Brazil, the Qing Dynasty and Senegal

    “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…

    China and India’s Youth Demographics and Trends

    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.…

    Population Control In China

    “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,…

    Should the Rest of the World Adopt Chinas One Child Policy?

    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…

    One Child Policy

    The one child policy in 1979 in an attempt to slow the rapidly growing population, initiated by Chinese officials has led to a multitude of uncalculated and sudden catastrophic impingements. These impingements have had, and will continue to have, large scale effects on China’s population. The Chinese government has begun to feel the recoil of their one child policy after the discovery was made that there is an approximant 120 to 100 ratio of males to females in China. This was a crucial discovery for the Chinese officials investigating the other unintended effects of the implantation of the one child policy. The one child policy has been linked to an increase in: human trafficking, birth tourism, social disabilities, crime, and single men.…

    China's One-Child Policy

    China's One-Child Policy

    China’s culture promotes having male children, since they are the ones who will take care of the parents in their old age. Males also are a source of wealth for the family, while females are married off and are of no benefit to their families after they are wed. In the late 1880’s, European missionaries reported that around 1 in every 4 girls in China were killed at birth or soon after by drowning, starvation, or abandonment. Now, ultrasound technology and the ability to determine gender before birth has led to the resurfacing of what is called “female infanticide” in China. Although the practice is illegal, couples will often bribe doctors and technicians to determine the gender of their unborn child, and some choose to abort the baby if it is female. More than half of abortions in China are the result of prenatal sex determination. In the past, girls were seen simply as a burden, and families would just try again for a boy, but with the One-Child policy, there is only one chance at the desired gender. Sex-selective abortions are illegal in China, but they are still carried out. Those who are not aborted may be abandoned at orphanages- again, this practice is illegal, but with the one-child limit, many impoverished families feel that their only source of wealth will be a boy.…
