World in the balance continued

      Today in class we started off watching the most recent JC TV news on YouTube. They talked about the varsity football team and the international students dorms. The news is very entertaining and helps you learn more about your school community. Then we discussed the video we had started watching during our last class. We were asked what we think the country should do about over population. Some said there should be a limit on how many kids you have but that isn't fair and can't always be controlled. We watched more of the video. It talked about how parents in that part of India would get a sonogram to find out the gender of their child. If the gender wasn't what they wanted, a boy, then they would get an abortion. The women usually disagreed with these decisions but the men overpowered them. Even if they didn't want anymore children their husbands could force them into it, just so they have boys. Boys are wanted so that they can care for their parents when they are old. Also to carry on the family name and legacy.
