Three Rural Issues
First of all, eliminating the “Three Rural Issues” phenomenon s laborious. “Three Rural Issues” indicates the social problems of Chinese rural area, agriculture and peasant caused by the wealth gap, loss in rural population, etc. Agricultural issue, due to the opening of market, small peasant economy is not able to compete with other big agricultural countries. Large amount of peasant finds jobs in cities, lead to low productivity in agriculture.
Rural Area issue, due to diminished productivity, lack of infrastructure and exploitation, and high taxation by local governments and corporations, peasants in rural areas are extremely poor.
Peasant issue, a lot of peasants are unemployed and do not have access to social

Over born child or child born out of marriage is not allowed to enter household registration, which has led to black household (without Hukou). Citizens without Hukou face difficulty in employment, education and medical care, etc. Migrant population (people who do not live in their registered place) cannot enjoy various welfare benefits and adequate opportunities for studies and employment offered there. Many residents who live in the banlieue of the city or village within the city cannot engaged in agriculture even though they hold agricultural Hukou. Meanwhile, many residents from rural areas who work in city cannot get a non-rural hukou. This is a deep-rooted and fundamental problem among Chinese people. Actually the Chinese government is in a dilemma. If the government allow free flow of people, many of them will choose to go to cities, which may also cause other problems. If the government keeps implement household registration system, the descendant of peasants will also be peasants or cannot be a registered citizen in cities, which also causes perpetual impoverishment. Therefore, this is a quite thorny
Could it be because the state is focusing on how much they are exporting and overlooks the deeper problem of hunger within their state? Christina Dreier lives in Mitchell County, Iowa, and is faced with the despair of not having enough food to feed her two growing children. Her plight is so extreme that she must make her three- year- old son go without breakfast, in hopes that he will eat the free breakfast provided by the school so that there will be enough food to feed their family for lunch. Sometimes there’s not even enough food for her to give her kids a snack that is healthy.
The population is slowly decreasing from the country mainly because of this policy. This sudden decrease is mainly affecting the farmers of China who mostly rely on their children to do the farm work. The population plummet really took a toll on the parent farmers and their children. The parents abused that one child and forced that child to do all of the farm work. (Document B).
Founding Farmers, located in Tysons Virginia, is a country like restaurant that serves all American food. It is located very close to the Tysons corner Mall and Tysons 2 mall. Because Founding Farmers is so close to these heavily commercialized places, you will always find it to be packed. Although it always has customers to be served, I find this restaurant to be one of the best out there. It is a great place to go after work with friends, with your family, or even just alone!
Imagine your are an elderly couple and has a son/daughter that passed away due to illness,or in a disaster and with the One child policy what would you do? Well the One Child Policy was made to prevent more increase in population the policy was made in 1970 by the chinese governors to help balance the population. The One Child Policy was a bad idea for China for these three reasons Challenge for women,Neglection of the elder,and The policy was just not necessary. One reason that one child policy was a bad idea because it was challenging for women.[Anthropologist Vanessa] Fang argues that this generation of urban singleton girls have been empowered to challenge some of the gender norms that have been long dominated by the chinese life [Document D].Nonetheless an,April [2009] study published in British Medical Journal found china still has 32 million more boys than girls under the age 20.[Document E].
The Civil War had already ended when agriculture began to develop, bringing about changes across the country, particularly in the West. American agriculture began in rural regions that were urbanized, resulting in a surge of people in the fields and cities where employment and hard labor were supplied manually. It has grown significantly as a result of advanced economic and social changes towards its industrialization for expansion. It increased production among the families of farmers, who served through hard and difficult situations. Throughout the period of 1865-1900, American agriculture changed rural inhabited areas, expanding prospects for migration and urbanization, industrialization growth with advanced machinery, and evolved farming
The Farmers' Grange was an important American movement in the late 19th century, according to Charles Postel's book. As mentioned on page 15 of the book, “this… group invented a new kind of association for America’s farmers (Postel 15). The Farmers' Grange was initially founded as a fraternal organization with the primary goal of enhancing the social and economic well-being of farmers and their families, but it quickly evolved into a potent political force. Fighting against railroad monopoly practices that set transportation and shipping costs in rural regions was one of the objectives of the Farmers' Grange. These high rates put farmers at a disadvantage, reducing their profitability and making it challenging for them to compete with bigger
The American Civil War: Industry vs. Agriculture The American Civil War was caused by a disagreement between the North and South on slavery due to the North’s advance in industrialization, while the South was still clinging to an agrarian based culture. The types of events that led up to the American Civil War were driven by the differing opinions of the North and the South. These events included speeches and protests, and also taking sides based on the level of industrialization. Northerners were more comfortable with the abolishment of slavery because they were more advanced in industry while the southerners relied on agriculture. The Emancipation Proclamation was a key event, in the proclamation
The Industrial Revolution was a drastic time for anyone who was living during it. It was a hard time for those who had to live during it, or work through it. The Industrial Revolution was from the eighteenth to nineteenth century, and it started in England. The horrific living conditions were unbearable, and inhuman. Then, there was substandard working conditions, the rates of workers dying were unfortunately high.
According to a survey done on the internet of 7,000 Chinese only children, from ages 15-25, 58 percent felt lonely and described themselves as being selfish (Doc F). This policy had big impacts and interfered on the only child and it’s future. It’s understandable the population problems China had and why they did what they feel they had to do. This was something that was their fault from the beginning, so it was their problem to fix.
So, it is quite easy to see that the pattern of population dynamics or the makeup of populations based on age and size in China. Most young adults can be found in cities working to earn money for their young children and parents in suburbs and countrysides. Meanwhile, their
The Iowa Farm Bureau mission is to create a vibrant future of agriculture, along with farm families, and their communities. My field of study will help support this mission of the Iowa Farm Bureau by defining agriculture’s brand to the masses. I am attending Iowa State University in the fall to major in Ag Communications and minor in marketing and sales. I hope to maintain a 3.5 or higher GPA, join clubs and organizations on and off of campus, and to expose myself to new people and things. In the fall I will also be rushing, and joining a sorority.
These sources of inequality are inherent in China’s hukou system which restricts rural migrants from privileges enjoyed by urban residents in terms of social security such as retirement benefits, schooling, and housing (Joseph, 2014, p. 260-261). The addition to income from a university education compared to that of primary schooling has increased dramatically from 9% in 1988 to 39% in 1995 to 88% in 2002 (Gustafsson, Li and Sicular, 2008, p. 25). This means that levels of educational attainment highly influenced the income earning prospects and is a significant factor of income inequality in China. Indeed, gap in education contributes as much as 11% to China’s Gini coefficient (Gan 2013, p. 18). The exclusivity of access to education inherent in the hukou system therefore significantly contributes to the rising levels of inequality in

Because of these issues, society should develop better strategies to help these people in need to eliminate the growing poverty level through the world. These strategies could include
Social Problems in Societies Social problems are issues which are considered to affect majority if not all members of a society either directly or indirectly. Whenever people come to live together in a social setting, conflict arises from their differences in opinions regarding political issues, religion, ethnic issues, cultural practices and other health and hygiene issues. In such a situation, we can say a society inevitably develops social problems. The various social issues present today vary from society to society, and as such, we cannot say that all societies face similar social issues.
