Something else about the policy of one child

This picture is very old and the words in it means the policy of one child has a lot of advantages. This kind of picture can be seen everywhere in 1980's. The government uses them as an indoctrination.

What are the critical attributes of your current event? 

·           One child policy is one of Chinese basic policies. It related to basic rights in China. This policy has involved the national history in the last three decades.

·           It also shows the citizenship education in China which is obedience in my personal opinion (Maoqi). This policy has been embedded in students' daily life which can be considered as so-called citizenship education. I think this policy command a very strong patriotism.

How would you break the problem/ current event up into informational knowledge and procedural knowledge?

·           Informational knowledge: knowing that there is a policy called one child policy and what the social conflict.

·           Procedural knowledge: knowing how to judge this social problem and what can be done as an individual.

How would you break this concept up to teach us as we read the blog, IN YOUR OWN WORDS, what the concepts within the current event/ issue mean?

·           One child policy really hurts people' s rights indeed. However, when it related to the concept of patriotism, this policy becomes perfectly justifiable. Since children are in elementary schools, songs and aphorisms about one child policy are inculcated into children' minds. Chinese government has tended to equal patriotism and one child policy.

What will you do about service learning: in class in your discussion time, out of class, or in your student's class?

·           I will do about service learning in our discussion time and also out of class. I will ask children go back home and have a talk with their parents so that they can have a basic understanding of this policy. I will also let them search some information about this policy online, which helps them to build up their own opinions. Then in the next day’s discussion time, I would like to give every child several minutes to demonstrate their understanding of what the policy of one child is and present their own point of view. After this, I can give them some news about this policy and let them discuss what they think about them.
