Family Planning Policy Should Be Abolished
复旦考博英语资料7-补充参考文章
Family planning in ChinaTwo little, too lateChina has replaced its “one-child policy” with a two-child one. It should stop dictating family size altogetherFOR more than 35 years, the Chinese Communist Party has governed the world’s most-populous nation by means of a thinly disguised threat: the country could become rich only if most couples limited themselves to having no more than one child. If they disobeyed, women were forced to undergo abortions; parents were subject to fines equivalent to several years’ income and sometimes dismissed from their jobs; in the countryside, the homes of poor peasants who could not afford the penalties were occasionally stripped of anything of value and then knocked down. The “one-child policy”, as the benighted approach to the country’s development was known, became synonymous with some of the most brutal aspects of the party’s rule. The bitter irony is that China’s problem today is too few babies, not too many.On October 29th the party belatedly decided to switch to a two-child policy. It had already been allowing this for some couples—for example, if one of the parents was an only child. Easing up a bit more, it reasoned, would help slow the country’s rapid ageing. More children would (eventually) mean more people to look after the elderly—a looming problem in a country with only a rudimentary welfare system. Once again,however, the party has miscalculated. In 1979, when it introduced the one-child policy, it believed that coercion was the only way to ensure that population growth did not become unsustainable. The party has since claimed that the policy has helped prevent 400m births.In fact, there is little evidence to ba ck this claim. China’s birth rate had been falling rapidly since the early 1970s with the help of little more than education campaigns. The birth rate continued to fall under the new policy, but other countries have seen similar declines without resorting to cruelty and oppression. Their experience suggests that the more important factors behind China’s lower birth rate were rising female participation in the workforce, improvements in education, later marriages and the rapidly increasing cost of education and housing. The main effect of the one-child policy was to foster egregious human-rights abuses against the minority who ignored it.By that measure, the new policy is also misguided. Some couples may feel encouraged to have two children, but it is unlikely that the overall birth rate—now well below the level needed to keep the population from falling—will climb by much. This is clear from the lukewarm response to previous changes allowing couples to have two children in certain circumstances. A generation has grown up indoctrinated in the belief that China has “too many people”. Except for the very rich, most prefer to use their family’s resources (increasingly stretched by the demands of theelderly) to give one child the best opportunities.A bitter pillBizarrely, the party still believes that coercion remains necessary. Those who have had two children in violation of the previous policy will still have to pay off their fines. It is likely that those who have three children will be punished. There is no evidence that lifting these controls would result in a crippling population surge. So the party’s insistence on maintaining them appears mostly a way of demonstrating power and saving face—as well as the jobs of the 1m-strong army of family-planning officials, who thrive on issuing fines.The party would struggle to admit that the world’s biggest attempt at demographic engineering has failed. But that is what it must do by lifting the remaining restrictions. Not for the sake of boosting the birth rate—it may well be too late for that. Rather because, after forcing so many Chinese to suffer to such little effect, a disastrous policy deserves to be abolished.Last Act in the MideastPatrick BazDespite the Libyan intervention, the era of Western meddling in theregion is coming to an end.Ever since Britain and France set out to dismember the Ottoman Empire nearly a century ago, the West has been engaged in an incoherent, haphazard, episodic, but more or less relentless effort to impose its will on the Middle East. Methods have varied. Sometimes the “infidels” have employed overt force. At other times they have relied on covert means, worked through proxies, or recruited local puppets.The purposes offered to justify Western exertions have likewise varied. With empire falling into disfavor, the pursuit of imperial aims has required conceptual creativity. Since 1945 resistance to communist subversion, a professed antipathy for brutal dictators, support for international law, and an enthusiasm for spreading freedom have all been pressed into service (albeit selectively) to legitimize outside intervention. Today’s “responsibility to protect” extends this tradition, offering the latest high-minded raison d’être for encroaching on the sovereignty of Middle Eastern states whenever the locals behave in ways that raise Western ire.Underlying this great variety of methods and professed motivation, two things have remained constant across the decades. The first is an assumption: that Arabs, Persians, Afghans, and the like are incapable of managing their own affairs, leaving the West with no choice but to act in loco parentis, setting rules and enforcing discipline. The second is aconviction: that somehow, some way, the deft application of Western power will eventually fix whatever ails the region.At first Britain served as principal enforcer. Roughly since the Suez crisis of 1956, the lead role has fallen to the United States. During the Eisenhower and Kennedy eras, Americans hesitated to become too deeply involved in places that seemingly offered little but grief. Over the course of the 1960s and 1970s—not so incidentally, decades when the U.S. became highly dependent on imported oil—that ambivalence diminished. With the promulgation of the Carter doctrine in 1980, it disappeared altogether and the American instinct for activism kicked into high gear.The results? As with the British, so with the Americans: an endless series of plots, alarms, excursions, and interventions ensued. Indeed, to combine first British and then American efforts to pacify the Middle East into a single seamless narrative is to describe an epic march to folly. Despite stupendous Western expenditures—the United States spent trillions trying to decide the fate of Iraq alone—the region as a whole has remained unpacified, untamed, unstable, and unpredictable. And now the ongoing Arab uprising has demonstrated that the people of the Middle East have an organic capacity to engineer change themselves,demolishing the patronizing notion that they (and by extension their neighbors) need outside oversight, guidance, or protection.Yet thanks to Muammar Gaddafi’s heavy-handed attempt to crush those seeking his ouster, the United States and its allies are now elbowing their way back onstage. To supplement the Carter doctrine (and smooth off the Bush doctrine’s rough edges), we now have the Obama doctrine, elaborated by the president in last week’s speech to the nation, which treats the plight of civilians caught in the path of war as a renewed argument for lobbing Western bombs and missiles, if not launching full-fledged invasions.Will our bombs be enough to topple Gaddafi? Are recent defections of high-level Libyan officials a sign of the government’s imminent collapse? Or will the U.S. and its allies eventually have to send in ground troops to amplify the work of the covert operatives who have already been providing support to the rebels for weeks? As important as these questions seem to us now, the answers will not change the underlying dynamic of the situation. Gaddafi’s fall (assuming it occurs) will close a chapter in Libyan history but won’t open a new chapter in the history of the Middle East. Libya is an outl ier. It won’t be and can’t be a bellwether. Apart from enabling policymakers in Washington, London, and Paris to reclaim a sense of self-importance, Western intervention in Libya willhave little effect on the drama now unfolding in the Middle East. Pundits can talk of the United States shaping history. The truth is that history is shaping itself, while we are left to bear witness.The result is that for the moment serious policy—as opposed to gestures—has become an impossibility. That leaves Americans in a thoroughly un-American position: they must be patient, waiting on events to ripen. In due course the dust will settle.At that time, prudence will dictate that the West make what it can of the outcome, offering support and assistance to Arab governments that share our interests and values and withholding them from those that do not. The big story is this: the century-long battle to control the Middle East is ending. We lost. They won. No amount of high-tech ordnance can alter the outcome.U.S. presidential candidates shouldn’t put globalization inretreatBy Robert J. SamuelsonJeffrey Immelt, the chief executive of General Electric (2015 revenue: $117 billion), gave an interesting speech the other day that illuminates some pressing questions about the future of globalization. This involves politics as much as economics. It should be no surprise that the three remaining major presidential candidates (Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump) are no fans of globalization.Most people consider globalization an economic phenomenon, signifying the spread of technology, the growth of trade, and the threats to U.S. workers and firms from many sources — low wages, manipulated exchange rates, government subsidies and pure competitive advantage. It is all of these things but also much more. If there was an organizing principle to U.S. foreign policy after the Cold War, it was globalization.The general idea was that, as countries traded with each other, their populations would become richer —in poor countries, middle classes would emerge —and nations’ interests would become intertwined. The threat of major wars would recede, because middle-class societies prefer commerce to conflict. The new world order would have tensions and feuds, but they would be manageable precisely because they occurred in a context of shared interests.With hindsight, we know that this vision was simplistic and flawed. Expectations were unrealistic. Three defects stand out.First, globalization overestimated its capacity to suppress ethnic, religious and nationalistic strife. For proof, see the Middle East ablaze.Second, it optimistically presumed strong and steady economic growth. Markets were assumed to be self-correcting, so slumps and stock declines — while inevitable — would be short and mild. The devastating 2008-2009 financial crisis and Great Recession punctured this premise.Finally, the economic benefits of more trade and open financial markets were considered so obvious that globalization would enjoy strong political support. Not so. It represents a loss of national sovereignty. Countries accept this when the rewards —prosperity and rising living standards —seem high. When gains fade, the bargain becomes less tenable.Enter GE’s Immelt. “Globalization is being attacked as never before,” he told MBA graduates of New York University’s Stern School of Business. “This is not just true for the U.S., but everywhere.” At another point, he said: “We are having a raucous [U.S.] presidential election, one where every candidate is protectionist.”So GE must defend its interests. “Wi th globalization, it is time for a bold pivot,” Immelt said. “We will localize production.” To the extent possible, production will occur where the company makes sales. With 420 factories worldwide, he said, GE has “tremendous flexibility” in locating prod uction. For the United States: “We will produce for the U.S. in the U.S., but our exports may decline.”Superficially, this seems reasonable. We produce where we consume; so do other countries. In fact, it’s a formula for U.S. economic stagnation, because most of GE’s growth is happening in foreign markets. When Immelt joined GE in 1982, 80 percent of the company’s sales occurred in the United States. Now, 70 percent originate elsewhere. If othermultinationals copy GE (which seems plausible), there will be a slow-motion shrinkage of their U.S. operations.Similarly, policies backed by the presidential candidates, including opposition to the Trans-Pacific Partnership, may backfire. The candidates falsely promise to strengthen the economy by “de-globalizing.”In practice, just the opposite may be true. Consider Trump’s proposed45 percent tariff on Chinese imports. No one should think this would stimulate much added production to the United States.“U.S. companies would not start producing more apparel and footwear in the United States, nor would they start assembling consumer electronics domestically,” writes economist Douglas Irwin of D artmouth College in a forthcoming issue of Foreign Affairs. “Instead, production would shift from China to other low-wage developing countries in Asia, such as Vietnam.” Meanwhile, China would almost certainly retaliate against U.S. exports. The big loser would be the United States.There would also be broader political repercussions. “Trump’s ‘America First’ policies would reinforce the drift away from U.S. global leadership—in ways that would benefit China,” my Post colleague David Ignatius recently wrote. Clinton’s and Sanders’s trade policies merit a similar verdict.Just because globalization is flawed doesn’t mean that its nationalist substitute is superior. Creeping protectionism reduces the efficienciescreated by large international markets. This would limit the possibility of lowering prices of traded goods and services. It would also foster more trade conflicts as countries aided local firms with more subsidies and protectionism.For all its shortcomings, globalization has contributed to a huge reduction in worldwide poverty over the past quarter-century. We ought to be more realistic about its limits and should police its vulnerabilities—particularly the danger of financial breakdowns. But as an organizing principle for U.S. foreign policy, we shouldn’t abandon it until we have something better. We don’t.What does post-truth mean for a philosopher?Sean Coughlan"Post-truth" has come to describe a type of campaigning that has turned the political world upside down.Fuelled by emotive arguments rather than fact-checks, it was a phrase that tried to capture the gut-instinct, anti-establishment politics that swept Donald Trump and Brexit supporters to victory.Oxford Dictionaries made it the word of the year, defining it as where "objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief".But what does this new world mean for academics and scientists whosewhole purpose is trying to establish objective facts?AC Grayling, public thinker, master of the New College of the Humanities, and Remain campaigner, views the post-truth world with undisguised horror.The philosopher, awarded a CBE in the New Year Honours, warns of the "corruption of intellectual integrity" and damage to "the whole fabric of democracy".But where does he think the post-truth world has come from?"The world changed after 2008," says Prof Grayling - politics since the financial crash has been shaped by a "toxic" growth in income inequality. As well as the gap between rich and poor, he says a deep sense of grievance has grown among middle-income families, who have faced a long stagnation in earnings.With a groundswell of economic resentment, he says, it is not difficult to "inflame" emotions over issues such as immigration and to cast doubt on mainstream politicians.Another key ingredient in the post-truth culture, says Prof Grayling, has been the rise of social media.It's not the soundbite any more, but the "i-bite", he says, where strong opinion can shout down evidence."The whole post-truth phenomenon is about, 'My opinion is worth more than the facts.' It's about how I feel about things."It's terribly narcissistic. It's been empowered by the fact that you can publish your opinion. You used to need a pot of paint and a balaclava to publish your opinion, if you couldn't get a publisher."But all you need now is an iPhone. Everyone can publish their opinion - and if you disagree with me, it's an attack on me and not my ideas. "The fact that you can muscle your way on to the front row and be noticed becomes a kind of celebrity.""Fake news" on social media became part of the post-election debate in the US - and Prof Grayling warns of an online culture that can't distinguish between fact and fiction."Put the words 'did the' into Google and one of the first things you see is, 'Did the Holocaust happen?' and the links will take you to claims that it didn't," he says.This process is "corrosive of our public conversation and our democracy" and he warns of a culture where a few claims on Twitter can have the same credibility as a library full of research.Appropriately for a philosopher, he identifies post-modernism and relativism as the intellectual roots "lurking in the background" of post-truth."Everything is relative. Stories are being made up all the time - there is no such thing as the truth. You can see how that has filtered its way indirectly into post-truth."He says this has unintentionally "opened the door" to a type of politics untroubled by evidence.But hasn't this always been part of the battle of ideas?Prof Grayling tells the story of Adlai Stevenson, the unsuccessful liberal contender in the 1952 US presidential election, who was told: "Mr Stevenson, every thinking person in America is going to vote for you. And he said: 'Great, but I need a majority.'"But the philosopher argues that there has been a significant shift beyond the boundaries of election spinning and into something fundamentally different.He places his argument into a historical perspective, saying the international landscape is more like the volatile, intolerant era before World War Two."There are some really uncomfortable parallels with the 1930s," he says. "These guys have realised you don't need facts, you just lie."。
英语六级高分作文—对计划生育的看法(Idea of Family Planning )
对计划生育的看法(Idea of Family Planning )not until i became a high-schooler did i begin to know the importance of family planning. it hap merely because his large yet impoverished family could no longer afford his large yet impoverished family could no longer afford his schooling. though a little sad over what had happened to my friend, i was thus awakened to the importance of family planning. even how, i am still a zealous champion of this program. as i see it, family planning can do us a world of good. first of all, it can reduce the expenditure and at the same time increase the happiness of the family. through family planning, instead of spending most of their time making money to keep a large family going, the parents, less troubled by economic problems, can devote themselves to the care and upbringing of their children and prepare them for their future careers. moreover, the harmonious atmosphere created by family planning will make family members feel secure and thrice blessed. second, family planning can help children become more mature, both mentally and physically. once the children growing up in a small family begin to receive education, they will know how to better behave themselves and do well in school. finally, stronger and more prosperous. there is no denying the fact that the population problem is getting more and more serious in taiwan where the population this state of affairs continues without anyremedial measures to fight it, some day the fruit of our economic growth will all be lost as a result of the ever-rising birth rate.。
英语作文二孩政策
英语作文二孩政策The two-child policy has been implemented in China for several years now. It has brought about significant changes in family planning and demographics in the country. Many families have chosen to have a second child, while others have decided to stick with just one child. This policy has sparked debates and discussions among the public.Some people believe that the two-child policy is a positive step towards giving families more freedom and flexibility in planning their future. It allows couples to have more children if they wish to do so, without facing any penalties or restrictions. This has been especially beneficial for couples who have always wanted a larger family but were limited by the previous one-child policy.On the other hand, some critics argue that the two-child policy may not be enough to address the demographic challenges facing China. The country's population is aging rapidly, and there are concerns about a shrinking workforceand a growing elderly population. Some experts believe that the government should consider further relaxing the restrictions on family size to encourage more births and address these issues.Overall, the two-child policy has had both positive and negative impacts on Chinese society. It has given families more freedom in deciding how many children to have, but it has also raised concerns about the future demographic trends in the country. It will be interesting to see how the policy evolves in the coming years and what effects it will have on China's population and economy.。

计划生育的英语作文Title: The Significance of Family Planning。
Family planning, a crucial aspect of social policy, refers to the deliberate control of the number and spacing of children in a family through the use of contraception or other methods. This practice holds immense importance globally, contributing to individual well-being, societal development, and environmental sustainability.Firstly, family planning plays a pivotal role in promoting the health and well-being of individuals, particularly women and children. By enabling women to space their pregnancies and avoid unintended pregnancies, family planning services reduce maternal and infant mortality rates. Access to contraception empowers women to make informed choices about their reproductive health, leading to healthier pregnancies and childbirth experiences. Furthermore, family planning services often encompass reproductive health education, which fosters awarenessabout sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and encourages responsible sexual behavior, thereby safeguardingindividuals' overall health.Secondly, family planning is integral to socioeconomic development. By controlling population growth, family planning programs alleviate the strain on limited resources, including food, water, and shelter. This, in turn, promotes economic stability and facilitates poverty reduction efforts. Moreover, when individuals have the ability toplan their families, they are more likely to pursue education and career opportunities, contributing to human capital development and productivity enhancement within communities. Consequently, family planning empowers individuals to break the cycle of poverty and achieve economic self-sufficiency, thereby fostering sustainable development.Additionally, family planning plays a crucial role in environmental conservation. Rapid population growth exacerbates environmental degradation, including deforestation, habitat loss, and depletion of naturalresources. By curbing population growth through effective family planning initiatives, societies can mitigate the strain on ecosystems and promote ecological sustainability. Furthermore, family planning programs often integrate strategies for sustainable development, such as promoting renewable energy sources and advocating for environmentally friendly practices. By addressing population pressures, family planning contributes to the preservation of biodiversity and the protection of fragile ecosystems for future generations.In conclusion, family planning is a multifaceted intervention with far-reaching implications for individual well-being, socioeconomic development, and environmental sustainability. By providing individuals with the means to control their fertility, family planning programs empower them to make informed choices about their reproductive health, pursue educational and economic opportunities, and contribute to environmental conservation efforts. As such, investing in comprehensive family planning services is not only a matter of reproductive rights but also a strategicimperative for building healthier, more prosperous, and environmentally sustainable societies.。

计划生育利弊(英文版)
1，具体数字说明老龄化的严重以及对社会经济的影响。
When the one child policy was carried out 30 years ago, it said that after 30 years the intense increasing population would be slow down, and then a new population policy would be needed. Actually, the population was well-controlled during these 30 years. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, the total fertility rate in China was 1.34 in 2005 and 1.44 in 2010, which means we are facing serious baby bust. At the same time, the elderly population surges quickly. It takes most of the developed countries more than 45 years for the proportion of their elderly populations over 65 increasing from 7% to 14%. It took France 130 years, 85 years for Sweden, about 79 years for Australia and the US. Thanks to the Family Planning Policy, it took China only 27 years to complete this process. By 2030, the number of people who are more than 60 years old will up to 0.355 billion. Our process goes too fast that it caused many problems.So we need flexible policy to deal with the birth of the second child.2，独生子女的弊端，需要放宽二胎政策的必要性。
讨论三胎政策英语作文
As a high school student, Ive been observing the recent policy changes in China, particularly the introduction of the threechild policy. This policy, which allows families to have up to three children, has sparked a wide range of discussions and debates, both in my family and among my peers. Heres my take on the subject, blending personal reflections with a broader societal perspective.Growing up in a society that once enforced a strict onechild policy, the shift to a threechild policy seems almost revolutionary. I remember my parents often mentioning the pressure they felt under the onechild policy, how it limited their family size and, in a way, their dreams for a larger family. Now, as the government encourages families to have more children, its as if a new chapter has opened in the book of family planning in China.The threechild policy was introduced as a response to an aging population and a shrinking workforce. Chinas economy has been booming, but the demographic challenges it faces are significant. The policy aims to balance the population structure and ensure a sustainable economic growth. However, the reception of this policy has been mixed. Some families are excited about the prospect of having more children, while others are hesitant due to the financial and social implications.From a personal standpoint, I see both the opportunities and the challenges that this policy presents. On one hand, having siblings can be a wonderful experience. It can teach you about sharing, caring, and companionship. Ive seen this in my friends who come from larger familiesthey often have a strong support system and a sense of belongingthat comes from their siblings.On the other hand, the cost of raising a child in todays society is not insignificant. Education, healthcare, and living expenses can be a heavy burden on families. My parents have shared their concerns about the financial strain of raising more than one child. This is a common sentiment among many families who are weighing the benefits against the potential economic hardship.Moreover, the policy also brings up discussions about gender equality and womens rights. Traditionally, women have borne the brunt of childrearing responsibilities, often at the expense of their careers and personal development. The threechild policy could potentially exacerbate this issue if not accompanied by supportive measures such as affordable childcare and flexible work arrangements.In school, weve been taught about the importance of a balanced ecosystem, and I believe the same principle applies to society. A balanced population is crucial for the health of our nation. However, its also important that the policy is implemented in a way that respects individual choices and supports families in their decisions.The government has been making efforts to alleviate some of the concerns, such as offering tax breaks and subsidies for families with multiple children. Yet, theres still a long way to go in terms of creating a supportive environment for families to thrive.In conclusion, the threechild policy is a significant shift in Chinas family planning approach. It reflects the changing needs and challenges of the country. As a high school student, Im intrigued by the discussions it generates and the potential it has to shape the future of our society. Whether or not families choose to have more children, its clear that this policy is a step towards addressing the demographic issues at hand, and its up to all of us to ensure that its a step in the right direction.。

Family Planning Policy Should Be Abolished
In the 1970s, with the development of the population of China, China began to
implement a nationwide family planning policy—called the "one-child policy", which
makes couples can only have one child. This policy is intended to adjust and control
the growth of the population of China to make population growth in accordance with
the development of society and economy. Although this policy is beneficial to our
country in the past time, at present this policy may do harm to the society, so I
strongly argue that the family planning policy should be abolished.
First and foremost, family planning policy violates the humanitarian rights. As
we all know, the right of delivering children is the basic human right that has been
bestowed by nature since we are created; however, this barbaric policy deprives of our
right of fertility for so many years. In 1980s and 1990s, ten thousands of babies were
killed when they were still in their mother’s stomach. They are lives as us. Is it fair for
them? Imagine that whether you will support this policy if you were killed before
delivery? The reason why we give up some of our freedom is to ensure our right, as
Thomas Hobbes says. Government doesn’t have the right to control our children’s
number.
Secondly, family planning policy has negative effects on our society from the
economic development and sex balance. On the one hand, one-child policy may
decrease the number of labor and change labor’s age structure. In recent years,
people’s age has increased, but the growth of population has decreased, which causes
the decline of labor’s number and productivity, furthermore impede the development
of economy. On the other hand, because one-child policy could only have one child,
more families will choose the boy considering the traditional elements, which causes
the imbalance between men and women. As is often the case, more men can’t find
their spouses and have no choice but to be a bachelor. All in all, family planning
policy has produced numerous social problems.
Lastly, family planning policy has negative effects on family, for example the
empty nest phenomenon and the problem of growth of the only one child in the family.
On the one hand, one-child policy makes one couple could only have one child. When
their child grows up and has his or her family, it's difficult for them to take good care
of their four old parents and their children thoroughly by the power of only one
couple. The parents feel lonely in their old age and the child can’t receive the best
recognition from their young parents. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of the
one-child family, one-child policy also leads to some serious problems in the
education and growth of the only child, such as the loneliness, selfishness and
oddness. In a word, family planning policy does harm to the existence of family.
Above all, the family planning policy is not suitable for the present situation of
China, and it has many negative effects not only for the society but also for the family,
so one-child policy should be abandoned.
