Today in class (day 44)

Today in class we took notes on a video we took today. It was about China and it's difference compared to the United States. One thing is that is different is that China is only allowed to have 1 kid per family. Sometimes when the family finds out about the child's sex and it is a girl they get an abortion. Boys are more cherished over in China compared to the United States where it is equal. When a family owns a family company they pass it on to the boy, not the girl in the family. That is one of the reasons that having a boy is a bigger deal over in China. It is also becoming a problem though because there are not enough girls to marry the other boys to start a family themselves. Another problem with having one child per family is that if the child dies at a young age, they do not have another child to depend on. Also some of the parents are too old to have another child so then they can't raise a child and are left childless. That is what happened to some family's when an earthquake hit their major city and left kids dead.
