-Informal explanation-
For school we have been working on a Nation History Project that deals with rights and responsibilities My topic is how China's one child policy affects people in China. I found the the government forces families to kill the babies and pay large fines. After a few decades there are not enough children to take care of the elderly and not enough working adults to increase the economy because of the one child policy. The founder of the policy is Deng Xiaoping and the policy was created to decrease population growth in China. I am interested in this topic because it kills a lot of children and makes girls unwanted in China.
-Formal-
I chose the effects of the one child policy in China. It was created in 1979 by Deng Xiaoping, a Chinese leader, to limit population growth in China. I want to examine how the one child policy forces families to only have one child by using harsh treatments such as fines, undocumented children and forced abortions, and how the policy negatively affects the elderly, economy, and the value of girls in China. More recently China's government has decided to change the one child policy into a two children policy.

Research
2. Research, research, research. Explain your topic, why should we care about it, and what specifically is on your research to-do list this week?
For my national history day project my topic is the effects of the one- child policy in china. The policy was created in 1979 By Deng Xiaoping, a Chinese leader, to limit population growth in China. It specifically affects the Han Chinese that live in rural areas. Those who are not Han Chinese or live in urban areas have exceptions to the policy. Recently however there has been talk on loosening the policy to a two child limit. One should care about the policy because it can led to forced abortion, unrecorded children, large fines, and other severe punishments.
This week I hope to re- evaluate certain sources and revise the author's credibility, source, and the purpose of the article in my bibliography. I will create notecards sources to help plan the steps for the paper. In the notecards I will paraphrase and state the important aspects and quotes of each article, and comment on how I will use the in my research paper.

A World Where Children Can Choose to Go to School
What would happen in a world where it was the child's choice to go to school? Would you go to school?
A world where school is optional would be a disaster. Many adults wouldn't be correctly educated to fill job slots, since the majority of them probably didn't go to school when they were little or dropped out. Highly trained jobs like doctors, dentists, and etc. would be filled with fast food workers. Not many people would be educated so it would be highly unlikely to find people who fit the requirements for sophisticated jobs. Children would be crazy and parents would drag them around town to run errands, because they have nothing better to do. Teachers wouldn't be trained and might not even bother to show up to school due to the lack of kids.
I would go to school, because I think that it would be easier to get a job later if I was fully educated. If I didn't want to go, my parents would probably force me to go anyway. If I went to school, I would put less effort into the work because there would be less competition to beat if the other kids didn't show. If it was easy to be the best, not many people would work hard to achieve higher goals and become smarter. I would most likely be one of the slacking people, because there would not be a big enough reason to overachieve.
