world’s densest populations has become one of the hallmarks of Asian economic success. In the middle of the 20th century, the future for Hong Kong seemed dismal. Food and clean water were in short supply, jobless rates were high, and its growing population seemed unstoppable. However, rather than imposing population control measures on its citizens, the Hong Kong government realized that population equals potential. By providing the right conditions access to education, health care, food and water, and a realization that the best investment to be made was in its people Hong Kong created one of the most robust and thriving economies in the world today. The mid-1950’s demographic situation of Hong Kong is comparable to the Philippines today.

As a result, roads were left unfinished and irrigation systems never built, and the poor conditions of seaports and airports crippled one of the nation’s best natural industries, agriculture. Most hurt by this environment were small-scale family farmers. In the provinces where they lived, schools were never built, hospitals and health-care facilities were poorly constructed and the means to access them were limited. Filipino lawmakers have tried to argue that population control will solve the nation’s poverty problems, but countless statistics and studies have proven that this just isn’t so. It is improved working conditions, quality schools, skilled birth attendants, and health-care facilities that will solve a number of the nation’s problems
Chapter six examines the anti-Chinese sentiment with the emerging class antagonism and turmoil between white capitalists and workers. The unwelcomed arrival of Chinese immigrants brought along their own social organizations such as the huiguan, fongs, and tongs. These types of social organizations secured areas of employment and housing for Chinese immigrants in California. This social structure that was unknown to Anglos led them to also categorize Chinese on the same level as Indians by depicting them as lustful heathens whom were out to taint innocent white women. These images were also perpetuated onto Chinese women, thus, also sexualizing them as all prostitutes.
Section 1: Identification and Evaluation of Sources This investigation will examine the research question: “To what extent did the Chinese Exclusion Acts and the Geary Act impact the conceptions of society on Chinese immigrants?”. The Chinese Exclusion Act and the continuation of it (Geary Acts), caused Chinese immigrants to have their reputations tarnished and led to the demise of societal views of Chinese immigrants in the United States. A document from Congress and signed by President Chester A. Arthur, that outlines the Chinese Exclusion Act, “Chinese Exclusion Acts (1882)”.
South Korea’s population did drop from 1979 to 2008 but it wasn’t as effective and didn’t help the poverty line. Not only did China’s One Child Policy help with so many things, it also greatly helped reduce
The horrific murder of Vincent Chin suggests that people are ignorant to the fact that numerous ethnic groups exist within the same “race.” They view all Asian Americans as the same race despite there being different ethnic groups, such as Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese. As a result, anti-Japanese sentiment meant discrimination towards all Asian Americans in general because to Whites, they all “looked the same.” Chin was in a club celebrating his upcoming wedding before he was savagely attacked by two white men who accused him of “stealing” their jobs. At this time, due the influx of Japanese immigrants as a result of the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act, many Whites lost their jobs, especially in the automobile industry.
Mao Zedong, one of the most influential leaders in Chinese history, once said that, “Of all the things in the world, people are the most precious.” One of the biggest problems that he faced was the growing population of China. At first, he discouraged birth control, but when the growth rate was growing astronomically, Mao introduced “Late, Long and Few.” When even this was not slowing down the population growth, China implemented a one-child policy. It allowed for the Chinese population to have one child, and was far more harmful than beneficial to China.
The one child policy was established in China in the 1980s because the population was too big to fuel many people were dieing from starvation. The one child policy is a law that prevents families from having more than one child. Some Chinese people are in favor of the one child policy (OCP) because their lives were made easier. Other people felt it was not fair to have their rights taken away. However the OCP was a good idea because of many reasons like how it improves population, the economy, and the environment.
During the ten years period the Anglo majority varied from 60.7% to 53.1. The term Anglos includes such nations as Jews, Irish and Poles. At the same time the number of Hispanic increased from 25.5% to 32%. Coupled with this, the percentage of Asian Americans and African Americans increased as well (Lineberry et al. 670). Furthemore,
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 one-child policy helps children in China have a much better life. China’s population was the largest in the world and a very poor country at the same time. Still, the chairman called for people to have even more children. His advisors were against this decision. Finally, in 1980, the one-child policy was placed upon China (BE).
According to Abraham Lincoln: “No man is good enough to govern another man without that other’s consent. When the white man governs himself, that is self-government but when he governs himself and also governs another man, that is more than self-government- that is despotism.” (Doc. A) He was referring to the white man’s tendency to treat people with different skin colors as inferiors, which certainly happened in the Philippines.
During the 1900’s there was a lot of racism going on in the United States. Japanese, Asian, Koreans, Chinese, and Filipino were discriminated because they were outsiders in American society. Japanese and other ethnic people who applied for a citizenship their application were denied and weren’t allowed to get their citizenship because they were not considered white. For example, the case of “Ozawa V. United States” (124) in this case shows how Ozawa claimed he is
The human population is on the rise around the world, Hawaii being no exception. Even though Hawaii is a small island, overpopulation was caused by many people who are militaries, tourists, and immigrants. Actually, in 2011 Hawaii’s population density was 214 people per square mile. Also, on Oahu, where the majority of Hawaii residents live, the population density was 1,468 people per square mile. Therefore, Hawaii ranked 13th population density in the U.S. Hawaii’s overpopulation problem leads to the cost of living is high, increasing homelessness and the traffic congestion.
