by Avishek My topic would be about the over population about china, China is over populated, recent studies show that china contains 20% of the worlds population. The world has Billions of people, and china has 20% of that. That little country has that many people. That might seem good, but its bad. If there is a good thing, it is that you will never be lonely there will be people with you all the time if your lonely. the bad thing is the lack of your space, so you can visit but there wont be much space to live, there will be but since there will be a lot of space taken the space you receive wont be amazing, there is also a lack of resources, which means you wither need less people or more resources, its easier for less people, but they wont kill them, so they passed a law stating that every family may only have one child, and if they have another than that child would be killed because of lack pf space and the the lack of resources. Also for some reason boys were favored more so if a family had a girl and then they had a boy then they would kill the girl or the boy. That is a bad thing and many people don't like that but they still follow the rules. That is all the information i know but i still want to know more.
 * Part I--What I already know about my topic **

//I wonder why people want to live in china if there are so many people there and because of the law that was passed. Maybe it was because they might not like any other place or they don't want to leave, or they have a family member who wants to stay and they cant leave them. I also wonder why is every// I didn't yet choose a book about China's Overpopulation, well i did but i can't purchase it as the store doesn't have it when i checked and the one the library has is checked out but i requested it so when its back ill go check it out then. Though i did get 3 internet web bookmarks. I have one with graphs on over population. I chose this one because it show's why China is overpopulated, it has reasons, it show's real numbers, and it has graphs to show information and to prove these points, so when I am doing the I search it is easier to make a point when you have real proof and answers, such as numbers to prove your point rather than just a sentence saying this is X or this is blah. So far I have 4 sources on this, they are: [|One Child Policy,] [|Population Control,][|China's Concern upon Over-Population][|China One Child Policy]. The first one is from Wikipedia and gives the overall view on this and a lot of information upon this subject, but i don't know if it can be fully trusted.Wikipedia does this for most of the things because there are a lot of people who know about this subject so I can get information such as when the law was placed, opinions about it, such as in there it states that the law was placed because there was an overpopulation of people within China, and because there was a lack of space. This shows that there are more Females than there are Male's in China in a certain age group. For Females the main age group is 80+ while for Male's the main age group is 60-64. I have learned many things that i have been wondering about before. I'll start with my questions that were answered. People want to live in china because a lot of them were born there and had family on China while others such as tourists and people who moved there like it there because they are fascinated by the culture and heritage that surrounds the place along with the stories, and legends. A lot of things are made in china because in China it is easier and cheaper to produce because there are a lot of workers as well as the fact that the wages did not need to be as high as they were to be in America or any other country. The law was passed because of the major increase in population, which resulted in food running out within the country as well as money, so many people died of starvation. There are still a lot of people in china, even if it is a big country, one country can not be expected to hold 20% of the worlds population. That is why the officials passed a law saying that you can only have 2 children, so starvation is less likely to come again. A lot of people do not like this as i have learned, but they have learned to live with it as it is an essential to life. The delicate system manages to hold everything up as it is and if it was to be change no one knows what the effects would be. Even those who disagree with the law still live with it, because it is the law and they were raised this way when growing up, and they do not want to change their ways.
