In the article "China vows to halt growing gender ratio imbalance", they touch on the fact that the Chinese authorities said they are going to lock down on fetus gender testing and sex-selective abortions. They also say that they are going to do more to help the equality laws of men and women. The Chinese government is also saying that they’re going to give out cash incentives to girl only families. I'm going to sum up some of the things that they plan to do about sex-selective abortions, what they are planning to do far as equality laws, and why I think that they should give out the cash incentives to the girl only families.
First, the Chinese government should say that if anybody that conducts an illegal sex-selective abortion will be seriously punished. A document from the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party and the State Council says that there will be more protection of baby girls for if anyone was to abandon, injure, or hurt their mothers they will be punished. The Government is also putting more of a watch on the hospital and clinics that use ultra-sound machines and that give out abortion medicines.
Secondly, in 2000 China launched a "care for girls" campaign to help promote the equality between men and women. Getting the girls to do some of the things men can do i believe is a good start in helping decrease imbalance they are facing. As for the economy they need the women to step up and learn more of the things that guys have been doing that they have not been able to do. I really think that changing their laws will be a good step in their fight of population imbalance.
Thirdly, the Chinese government has giving out cash incentives for girl only families. Families that don't have any guy at all will really need these because if the girls have not been taught to be able to do what a guy can do, it will be hard to make any kind of money working. This money I believe can help pay the bills or help in any schooling or job training they will need to get by.
In all, I have spoke on my views of what China plans to do about sex-selective abortions, what China plans to do about its equality laws, and why I think they should give out the cash incentives. I believe that if China keeps their mind on their female population for a while they may put some kind of decrease in their countries imbalanced.

Summary Response #2
In the article "China's surplus of sons: A geopolitical time bomb," they speak on the criticism that China has been getting on the fact that they have more men than women. The fact that they use the ultrasound machine to determine if they will keep the boy or kill the girl seed is being stressed that people change their One Child policy. They also stress the fact that they will have more sex related crimes committed in due time, and that the younger males that are growing up will not have any women to mate with. I'm going to give my insight on what I think about the way they use the ultrasound to discriminate on the gender of a child, and why I think they should change their One Child policy laws, and what I think would happen if the males do not have any females to mate with.
First off, in China they force a One Child policy, which means families can only have one child, and this forced a lot of parents to abort the females until they have a boy. By using the ultrasound they can determine if they want to have the girl or not; if it is a boy it's a definite go, but now it's starting to hurt their society. In the article it says that, "Worldwide, there are already 100 million girls missing due to sex-selective abortion," and they believe that 50 million of these girls are from China. The ultrasound was allowing people to have choices, and to know what they have not to be forced into things they and their family do not agree to. Families there feel that the boy can make more money for the families, so they feel that the women have no value, which indeed they do. How could you have boys if women doesn’t have them? Or while the man works, as they feel he should be the main money provider, who is going to take care of the household. I believe that if they don't do something about how much abortion a person can have, their population is going to decrease and their economy will slow down.
Secondly, the article spoke on the China's One Child policy, because it's starting to become a factor in their future. If you take a person's right to have as many children as they want you take away their right to say how many boys or girls they want. I believe that any life shouldn’t be taken especially if it hasn’t had the chance to live or even know what death means. If they don't do something fast about the population of women in their country, they will have no women to mate with in the future. They need to take action on their One Child policy to take some of the stress of what to do with their pregnancies, which is eliminating some of their females from even making it to birth.
Finally, I believe that if that all the families in China continue to abort the females, then the males will not have anyone to mate with. You almost can say that they're headed for extinction because if you don't have a partner to mate with, then your breed can no longer exist, and that is why there's two of everything, from humans to animals. Also, if the men in China don't have anyone to mate with then they might not want to stay there anymore and may migrate to new countries. Also, in the article they believe that more sex crimes will be committed, or that men will become more abusive to women in the future. I also have a belief that you would think more of their man would turn out to be gay.
In conclusion, I have given you my insight on what I think about the way they use the ultrasound to discriminate on the gender of a child, why I think China should change their One Child policy, and what I think would happen if the males do not have any more females to mate with. I believe that China has a lot to look at if they want a good future for their youth, economy, and population.

Practice Summary response
This article was focused on Asian society, and its community based on the fact that there is more man than women. The gender imbalance that is appearing is major a threat to their stability because researchers say that more men will leave the country to find women to mate with, or it will lead to an increase in prostitution, or other violent crimes against women. It also quotes on that by 2050, "the number of men would outweigh that of women by 33 million in India, and by 25 million in China" even if the current imbalance is declined. Seeking on the fact that in their country due to economic reasons the male is needed over the female, so most of the women that have several girls choose to abort their progenies until they have a boy. A French demographer by the name of Christopher Guilmoto believes that if you change their society views on the way they look at women, and improve the gender equality laws, this will help improve their community. They also are requesting that the younger women be included in the rituals and ceremonies that are rationally required of the younger males.
The views of women in their countries really need to be looked at and have some kind of action taken upon them. Giving women the right to more opportunities to do what a guy can do will be a good start in helping the rights of their women. I know you need more men to build but you also need more women to mate with, make families with, and to do the things that guys can't do.
I learned a lot from this article; I can't believe the percentage of males there are over females. I also believe that their society is in for a major disaster if they don't do something quickly about the women population in their countries. The fact they abort after having so many girls is ludicrous to me, because I see that the more women you have the more chances of pregnancy, which brings the more chances of boys or girls. I'm not a big fan of abortion because it is like stopping the life circle, and what ever the gender the child is it should be given the love and respect life has to bring.
In conclusion, the article talks about how the major male population percentage there is over that of the females, and if there is nothing done about it their countries will be over male populated. If the gender equality laws don't change quickly, not only will the men leave the country but the women will also. I also think if they involve the younger females into what the younger boys are doing they will be more in touch with themselves to do some of the things they may have not been able to. If women are not here to reproduce who's going to do it? So in all if they don't get more women in their countries they will have more sex related crimes, and will lose a lot of the men they need due to the fact they have no women to mate with.
