Without the one-child policy, the population of China will keep increasing. With a big population stress Chinese families cannot get better living conditions. The increasing population is only not a burden for China; it is also a burden for the world. With the limited natural resources, controlling population is a good way to ease the presses. In other words, one-child policy is another way to reduce the resources.
The U.S. exports jobs to poor countries where products are then manufactured and imported right back. This puts us on the path to becoming a third world country ourselves. Unrestricted outsourcing is pushing China and India up the economic ladder and toward future first world economies. Eventually one of these countries which are reaping the benefits of outsourcing could topple the U.S. from its position as the number one economy and world superpower. Where does the U.S. stand to benefit from making everyone else
Explain why Governments find it difficult to achieve economic objectives simultaneously. The government has difficulty in achieving economic objectives simultaneously because some economic goals conflict with one another. In order to maintain an efficient economy, governments prioritise an array of economic objectives, however, these objectives commonly conflict, consequently restricting a governments ability to simultaneously achieve their set objectives. One conflict between economic objectives is between economic growth or unemployment and inflation. The government wants low unemployment and high economic growth which are generally linear; however this can cause difficulties in maintaining a stable rate of inflation which is another economic objective.
However, there are advantages and disadvantages of international trade in the simulation that cause the world’s economy to fluctuate and leave certain countries astray. One of the advantages to international trade that I found for countries was the monetary gains and having the ability to keep their own markets honest causing the local producers to improve its goods for the reason citizens have more choices available to them. The disadvantages of international trade have to deal with countries of higher power that try to take advantage of smaller countries by swindling their government into unorthodox trading during a crisis within those countries. Another disadvantage is the possibility of local producers becoming weak, causing the unemployment rate to rise because local producers are unable to compete with international
Frank Gagliano/IGEN-231/Paper 2 Poverty’s Influence on Ethnic Conflict October 19th, 2008 Throughout history ethnic conflict has always had adverse effects for a nation or nations. Ethnic conflict has direct implications for a country’s well-being, and plays a significant role in the poverty rate. There are many different aspects on why poverty exists, but if there is in-fighting and cultures are in conflict, it prevents further development until that conflict is resolved. Depending on how long that conflict lasts, it could lead to years of devastation and hardship for countries struggling to pull out of the poverty threshold. Ethnic conflict has lasting effects for a country’s economy.
Rather than reducing social and economic inequality, China’s rapid economic growth magnifies the gap of benefits received by people in different socio-economic groups. As we will see, social and economic inequality are two sides of the same coin and is not solely the product of economic development. In addition to pure market forces, state policies play a significant role in contributing to the high levels of inequality China experiences nowadays. Despite the government’s concern towards inequality, recent interventions are not sufficiently targeted at the main causes of this issue which result in the continuing climb of China’s inequality figure. Nevertheless, contrary to conventional wisdom, the threat of inequality to China’s social and
While this feature can be used to explain incidents and changes that have occurred within society there is still a large gap between the resources available to those who are considered lower class or underclass compared to those with wealth within the United Kingdom and according to The Guardian newspaper inequality has risen faster in Britain than in any other country since 1975. The family would be unable to access the resources that would be available to those in power due to their wealth and social status however due to these factors Conflict Theorists would suggest that they would never gain access to them as the “ruling classes” would continue to oppress the lower classes in order to keep the resources for
Doing this would account for 70% of the funding needed to keep social security going for the years to come, but it comes at a very big cost. I don't believe that “progressive indexing” would necessarily be a good idea, because it would affect so many people. This is meant to take some of the benefits from the workers that make more money and spread this around to help make up for others that may be lacking. The problem that I see is that $20,000 per year is too low, and may end up taking extra benefits from people who are in severe need of it. If “progressive indexing” were to be implemented I would propose raising that minimum to $35,000.
Assignment 2 Environmental Sustainability Practices Introduction This report is to summarize the similarity as well as difference between the environmental sustainability practices in United States and China. Compare and Contrast Practices in China It is no secret that China faces serious environmental challenges. The combination of rapidly growing population and lack of viable communication between states and local communities have produced difficult situations. Many argue, from Malthusians terms that overpopulation is the simple answer to a host of problems. Not only that, the distribution of resources across social classes of the populations would also result in the abandonment of many rural communities and establishment of inefficient and harmful method of resource consumption.
Unemployment and low paying jobs, especially in rural zones, drive people to see the necessity to immigrate to different countries. They immigrate with the hope of finding honest jobs and a higher quality of living for their families. Insecurity also drives people from their countries. Mexico has had a considerable increase in crime rate. Assaults, ransoms, kidnappings, drug trafficking, and organized crime in general are some of the most common in the country.
