for the purpose of sex determination. Similar actions were taken in some other states by social activists. Soon the issue was brought into national focus, and it eventually culminated with the central government’s bill i.e.the Pre Natal Diagnostic Technique (PNDT) Act of 1994. The Act was supposed to prohibit the use of STDs (including ultra sonogram) which were used for determining the sex of the fetus. It further prohibited the advertising of such technologies for detection of sex. It had provision
Korean sex ratio • In 2007, Korean announce to restore equal birth total for boy and girl. • Monica Das Gupta was sent to Korean for research about Korean balance sex ratio. o In 2009, she reports that it’s because the economic development and new gender-sensitive policies is what weaken sexist value. o The increase in urbanization and education o Asian giant country such as China and India have more progressive gender policies in place than Korean. Because of this Korean’s policy can be changed
premise- Sex Selection does not harm the child or the family. Savulescu’s second premise- Sex Selection impacts society in a beneficial way. Savulescu’s conclusion- Parents benefit from sex selection. Question 3: What are the reasons that Savulescu gives for believing each of his premises? One argument supporting premise 1 is built around Kant’s Dictum “never to use a person as a means, but to treat him or her as end”1. Many parents do in fact have desires related to their children that with sex selection
The commercial I’m looking at is #LikeAGirl by Always. Why has the phrase “Like A Girl” has been used as an insult? This commercial focuses on how a girl’s confidence goes down when they hit puberty. The commercial accomplished their message, they made a good point that girls are already insecure from many things and the phrase “Like A Girl” should not be one of it. The commercial “#LikeAGirl” starts their commercial by asking a group of kids to do some actions they are being told. The kids vary
frequent appearances on MTV, and can often be found on magazine covers and in photo spreads. Spears is especially popular among pre-teen girls, who buy her records, singing and dancing along to the lyrics. These lyrics often deal with love, lust, and sex-topics some consider too mature for the young girls targeted by Spears' marketing. Young women today are maturing at increasingly earlier ages, and the sexual messages in Spears' songs may simply be satisfying an existing demand for these types of
Can you imagine spending your childhood without the one you love the most? Many grow up without their parental figures. In my case, my father was the apple of my eyes, and having him away for five years was heartbreaking. However, the day he left definitely changed my life and helped me grow up. It all began on December 15, 2012, the day a small piece of my heart was taken with no remorse. I remember as if it was yesterday, sitting down in the calm and quiet living room when all of a sudden the
Scout is one of the central character’s in Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird. Scout is a girl who slowly changes through the course of the book. Throughout the book, Lee describes the character of Scout as being tomboyish, innocent, and aggressive. Throughout the book, readers are able to see Scout as being a tomboyish, little girl. For example, Aunt Alexandra does not approve of the way that Scout has been dressing. “Aunt Alexandra was fanatical on the subjects of my attire… She said I wasn’t
to unpredictable population changes. The need for a male heir and the One Child Policy has caused china’s gender ratio to be imbalanced. Reason being men are usually the main income-earners because they are more employable and earn higher wages for the same work. Since male babies have a greater income potential, they are less likely to be killed. The average male to female sex ratio was 118:100 in 2010. In rural areas if their first-born is a daughter or suffers from a physical or mental illness
Mingliang argues that, “China, through the one-child policy, has instituted the most aggressive, comprehensive population policy in the world” (1). This policy limits all families in the Republic of China to have only one child, regardless of the sex: however, within this policy there are some exceptions. It is possible to have two children only if the first child is born with a disability, if parents work in a high risk job, if the couple lives in villages, or if the family is a non- Han, otherwise
disturbance in the proper ratio of androgen and estrogen levels. The normal ratio of the two hormones in plasma is approximately 100:1. "The etiology of gynecomastia in patients with a known documented cause appears to be related to increased estrogen stimulation, decreased testosterone levels, or some alteration of the estrogens and androgen so that the androgen-estrogen ratio is decreased"(Williams 373). From this information it was discovered that there is also a lower ratio of weaker adrenal androgens
Gender consists of the behaviors, and attitudes in which a group considers proper for each sex. Within China, the male children grow up to take over the land, or home and take care of their parents. They also are the ones that bring in the family, and carry on the family’s last name. When the Chinese government introduced the one-child policy
Female Infanticide Female infanticide is the intentional killing of unborn or newborn female infants and fetuses through the use of sex-selective abortions. It it is most commonly practiced in third world countries and many Asian countries such as China and India. Many impoverished families in many rural areas in Asian countries often terminate a pregnancy or kill a newborn girl in an effort to save the girl form a life of poverty. If this was the reason they kill their children, then why don't
use and repetition of ratios and proportions as my major theme in chemistry. Throughout this sequence of instruction, my goal was for the students to seamlessly tie mathematics into the science curriculum. I wanted students to recognize the interconnectedness of the two subjects by emphasizing the association of ratios throughout chemistry and to realize the importance of ratios in real life. Ratios are found in all aspects of life and I wanted to open their eyes to this. Ratios are use in discounts
not all of the policies, that were in place during that time period. I believe the war was not justified for a number of reasons. The ratio of dead to wounded was higher than it was in the civil war which is considered one of the saddest wars in this country’s history. In the civil war, the ratio was one wounded to five killed, where as in the Philippine War, the ratio was one wounded to twelve killed. America instead of trying to peacefully resolve the situation, decided that force was a more potent

shown in Figure 2, after the dilation. My two monkeys are similar because the ratio of their lengths compared to that of the areas fits the Proportional Perimeters and Areas Theorem. Also, their corresponding angles are congruent and their corresponding lengths are proportional, proving that they are similar by definition. I can create a dilation by multiplying each coordinate with the scale factor of ½, so that the ratio of the images is 1 to 2. For example, my original monkey’s tail tip is at point
the ones that do not enable us to calculate all the unknowns by the three equations of equilibrium. 2: Hooke’s Law, Poisson’s Ratio and Modulus of rigidity. Hooke’s law, Poisson’s ratio and shear modulus (modulus of rigidity) all share a common bond. They are considered to be individually the same for a specific material. hooke’s law is formulated as F=kx; Poisson’s ratio is formulated as = (lateral strain / axial strain) and shear modulus is formulated as G= E/(2(1+" " )). 3: polar moment of inertia
Determining the Ratio of Circumference to Diameter of a Circle In determining the ratio of the circumference to the diameter I began by measuring the diameter of one of the si objects which contained circles, then using a string, I wrapped the string around the circle and compared the length of the string, which measured the circumference, to a meter stick. With this method I measured all of the six circles. After I had this data, I went back and rechecked the circumference with a tape measure

at the individual ratios seen in exhibit 1 and comparing it to the industry average shown in exhibit 2 gives a sense of where this company stands. Current ratio and quick ratio are really low and have been decreasing. For 1995, the current ratio is 1.15:1, which is less than the industry average of 1.60:1, however to give a better sense of where this stands in the industry, as seen in exhibit 3, it is actually less than the average of the bottom 25% of the industry. The quick ratio is 0.61 is less
