According to S. Baldauf, in “Study: Selective –sex abortion claims 500,000 girls a year”, in India, there are a lot of women who must abort babies. They use ultrasound to know what sex it is. The prenatal selection and selective abortion is a custom in India. This custom is around all the religious groups. However, most commonly it is around educated women. There are many results; one of those is social repercussions. The sex ratio will be skewed. The female feticide is most common for India’s elite. Some activists say female feticide is wrong in order to criticize Indian society. The use of ultrasound should be to check birth defects, not gender. Bishnoi says the educated women are more likely to decide on babies’ gender. However Ms. Bishnoi says the failure is because of a society, not women. Some of the number of female abortions might be exaggerated.
In most Asian countries, they want to bear boys. If they still have this attitude, the gender imbalance problem might be bigger. We should find solution about this problem. The government should make a law about abortion, schools should teach students about gender ratio’s importance, and parents should have responsibility for their children in their mind.
First, the government should make a law about abortion. For example, most countries do not have laws about abortion. People go to a hospital use ultrasound to check baby’s gender. If gender is not a male, they might abort their baby. It is too cruel. If government makes a law about abortion, people might not be able to do that so easily. For example, in Germany, they have a law about women having abortions. They never cannot do that. They think doing abortion is very cruel. The government should do like Germany to save the babies’ lives.
Second, schools should teach students about gender ratio’s importance. At one time, girls could not go to school to study, but now they can. School’s action is very important for student. They should teach them real. For example, when a teacher teaches students, they need to tell them that now the gender is imbalanced, because many people are just bearing boys. If they do not do like this, the students might think they must bear the boy. Their culture has always thought that just boys are important.
Finally, parents should have responsibility for their children in their minds, whatever the baby’s gender. In more developed countries, people think the gender is not important for them, because in their mind they think the most important thing is that they have a baby, not what gender the baby has. They are happy they have their own children. On the other hand, in less developed countries, people think just a boy can help them, and boys can make them happy. They had this attitude 100 years ago. Now it is 2008; people should change their mind from the past. Whether girl or boy they are your children.
In conclusion, most people think the gender problem is because of culture. It is true, but the other reason is women’s attitude. So, we should discard the wrong attitude. We can do such as government make a law about abortion, schools should teach students about gender ratio’s importance, and parents should have responsibility for their children in their mind. It might be able to solve the problem.

India population
According to T. Sullivan, in “Rising India cannot shake its bias for boys gender imbalance widens in 2nd most populous country”, in India, the gender imbalance has become bigger; we cannot swing their bias. Most people want more boys than girls. They want to be globalized and there is more money and education, but in their deep mind they want to bear boys. Researchers think education and wealth can decrease the desire to choose boys. Also, researchers say that pressure for smaller families is the problem. Numbers of girls are coming back to school. They are growing a middle class and there is increased urbanization. In nearby villages, it is difficult to see girls.
In most of Asia, they want to bear a boy. Why do they have special affection for boys? Because they think a boy can protect them when they are old, a boy can help them do farm work, and boys are smarter than girls.
First, most people think boys can protect them when they are old. All the people will be old. It is a natural phenomenon. When people become old, their children should protect them. It is most people’s thought. However, they do not believe in girls, because they think when girls get married, they might live with their husband; so, she does not have time and energy to protect them. For example, in a poor family, they have 5 daughters and just one son. The son might be very important in their family. When they grow up, the daughters are married. Then they are moving out to live with their husbands’ families. They should do a lot of housework. They do not have time to take care of their parents. Their parents just can believe the son, because when the son gets married, there is a woman moving in to the man’s house. They can live together with their parents.
Second, a boy can help parents do farm work. In a less developed country, they mostly want boys. For example, man’s power is bigger than a woman’s. It is different from physiology. A man can pick up the heavy goods. A woman cannot help their parents with basics. They just do some easy things like cleaning, cooking, and sewing. Parents like sons more than daughters. Also, men have good tenacity. If a man and woman do the same difficult things, women might abandon them early, but men might do that to the end.
Finally, parents think boys are smarter than girls. Most parents do not let their daughters go to school, because they think it just wastes money. They just stay at home and help their parents to do housework. However, they have a right to go to school for study. For example, in India they do not let girls go to school. They think girls are not smart. Also, they think when girls grow up, girls can marry a rich boy. It is enough for girls. If women have a good marriage, their life will be good. In the world, most presidents are men. In some parts, women cannot catch up with men, such as in business or in the diplomatic sense. In government, most diplomatic officials are men. In parents’ minds, they think just boys can rise in the world.
In conclusion, we should change our minds. Not only can boys can do business, but also girls can do it. In Asia, most parents think their daughter just can do housework. They think boys are better than girls. That’s because they think when boys grow up, he can protect them, boy can help them do farm work, and boys are smatter than girls. Girls also can do those things. Now women also have power in society.

population
According to B. Kontominas, in “Gender imbalance a threat to stability”, sex trade and violence against women happened because of the gender imbalance; in Asia it is not being addressed. In a presentation, they worried that the men are more likely to be violent forward women; it might affect stable marriage systems and make social instability. In Asia, there are more men than women. In most of Asia, they want sons more than daughters. It makes sexual the quality. When people have the ultrasound, it is easier for them to abort. Dr. Guilmoto said to change people’s attitudes and make a law can help reduce sex selection. Also, Dr. Purnima Mane said, we should change the value of women now.
In Asia, most people want a son. However, it is not something humans can decide. People may bear a lot of children before they bear a son. They never think about the result. It will be hard for humans to live, most children might be able to go to school, and it can pollute the environment.
First, if the population increased, it will be hard for humans to live. The human living areas will be smaller. For example, humans live in places that have limits. If people are stubborn about bearing babies, we might have insufficient living areas. Also, it can bring about food war, because of the high population. If the population goes up, people need more food than before. For example, they have six children and parents. Total is eight people in that family. It means they should have enough food for eight people to eat. They should have a lot of money, because they could buy enough food to eat. It is hard for a poor family.
Second, if the population increases, most children might be able to go to school. In most of the less developed countries, people want to bear a boy. They think the boy can do everything. When they bear a boy, they might feel self-conceit. People can bear many babies, but for a poor family, the child might be able to go to school, because they do not have enough money to pay study cost. For example, in a poor family, they may have 5 children. They should go to school, but their family does not have enough money to pay. Their parents decide to just make one child go to school. It is unfair for the other children. They also have the right to go to school. If they do not go to school, they cannot learn knowledge.
Finally, if we have many people, it might pollute the environment. Too many people can make environmental pollution. For example, in less developed countries most people throw trash in public places. They think throwing trash it does not matter, because other people also do this. Why do they think like this? Because they has a low cultural level. If the low cultural level people still bear babies, it might make cultural level lower and lower. So, it makes them not think anything about making environmental pollution.
In conclusion, the population increased day by day. It might a serious problem. If we do not find solution, this problem might be bigger. If population increased, it will be hard for humans to live, children might be able to go to school, and people may pollute the environment. People should not just want to bear a boy. Boy or girls both are important for parents.
