In “Abortion Bind and Gender Imbalances,” Delivery (2008), writes Gender imbalance is “most instances discriminates against female fetuses and produces socially adverse gender imbalances”. The number of boys is much higher than that of girls. According to “Abortion bind and gender imbalances”(2008), the sex ratios are very common in India, which have a high of 127 boys for 100 girls. After that, the average age of India is 29 years old, which means India has a lot of process for growing labor force by Hanada. Moreover, many social problems will cause by gender imbalance. HIV and AIDS affect health of young people by Hanada. There are not enough work places for so many young people in India. No enough girls are big problem for young boys, because there are not enough girls for them by Hanada. Therefore, that large numbers of bachelors affects the safety of society. Gender bias problem that we face right now, the women cannot have same rights of education by Hanada. “ At the macroeconomic level, female education is a key source of support for long-term economic growth” (Korea Herald, 2008). That means education for female in India is very important for gender balance. If women get knowledge, they will independent in economic. Therefore, they will have more powerful to protect their rights. Gender imbalance likes global worming; it is a big problem that we should deal with. Why should men have better care when they are born? Women have 50% of responsible to build this world. Women can work as good as men. Sometimes women do something more brightness than men. So from research I want to find some ways to help change gender imbalance and help women get their rights.
According to recent statistics the gender imbalance is very common in India. There are 127 boys for 100 girls and among Christians a low of 104 in India (The Korea Herald, 2008). From the number, we cannot find if it is very big problem for us. But India is one of the countries that have the biggest population in this world. What should India government do to solve this problem? How can the India government handle some problems that are caused by gender imbalance, such as unemployment, or too many vagrants? Gender imbalance causes social, economic and health problems. We should try to change some people’s opinion that boys are better than girls. We should avoid of gender narrowing that decrease the GDP of country. We should pay more attention on HIV and AID.
The primary reason that gender imbalance will cause social problems is that more and more people want boys than girls; they use ultrasound machines or some medicines to choose the sex of their children. Especially in some LDCS, India people want to continue the family name and bloodline, earn money, and be took care of them when they retired (Abortion Bind And Gender Imbalances, 2008). Therefore, girls take the second class. From technologic girls also continue the bloodline; the reason that people prefer boys is that boys have stronger body to grow rice. Long time ago, agriculture was first business. The world has changed a lot. We should forget this traditional opinion. Women have same rights for education and working. The India government gives some rebate and tax back to encourage families to have girls, but also encourage families give girls better education by Korea. Without economic independent is reason that women can’t win their rights in her family. They should obey what their husband said. The family violence is also cause by this case. If India government wants to change gender imbalance, they should give to girls same rights for high education. “ The more educated women are, the more likely they are to invest in the health and education of their families.” (The Korea Herald, 2008 ).
Moreover, there are the economic problems are caused by gender imbalance. The best example is India and China has one-third population in this world, but their GDP cannot march with Japan and U.S. My point is the population is not most important resources right now. The agriculture industry has gone. Technical is the most important resources. However, in LDCS, people use their hands to grow rice and 10 people should spend 1 day to finish their job. In MDS, one person spends 1hours to finish whole job with machine. The technology improves work efficiency a lot. So India government should give their citizen more changes for studying new knowledge. “ In 2007, Grant Thornoton International surveyed 7,200 privately held businesses in 32 countries, representing 81 percent of global GDP, to gauge gender gaps for top-level executives. Japan came in last.” (Korea Herald). From this research, we know that because the educating women in Japan are much higher than other 31 countries. Girl has as powerful as boy, there are many successful businesswomen in the world, such as the chairwoman of Sanyo Electric Co. Women in east Africa contribute about 50% of GDP, so when they lack economic emancipation and opportunities, countries are losing 2% of GDP because of this imbalance. (East African Business Week, 2007). So we should let people know women can also create more value as men. The India government should give women more chance to run their own business. The India government should give women more opportunities to find their jobs.
Third, the gender imbalance causes too many boys become bachelors. If we have too many boys do not have girls, what will their do? They will try to find some women who have get married or young girls. The percentage of crimes will increase faster. Furthermore, “Half of HIV or AIDS affects young people, in India” (Handa, 2007). It’s clearly that HIV and AIDS is the first killer for young people. I think most people do not watch out for it. Maybe they think it is far from them. The government should let young people watch some videos or give some speech, which helps them know how important it is. HIV and AIDS does not just happen around young people, it’s a social problem. India parents should limit their children’s going to clubs or some dangerous place alone. Some entertainment places should limit young children from coming in. Because of gender imbalance, the girls in India can’t get same care as boys. We can’t chose our sex when we are born, so parents should take care of their babies in equal way. If girls live in family without love, it’s very harmful to their heart. They become very depressing and sad. They will think the whole world give up them. Many children will choose suicide. I think that spirit care are more important than physical part.
In conclusion, these days, gender imbalance is not just problem that India government should face. It's a problem that stands in the front of us, like global warming. All of people should have responsibility for this. We should look at women and men in equal way. We should forget so stupid traditional opinion. Government should encourage people use new technology to develop their business. We should put our eyes on gender imbalance. India government has give families money to encourage them have girls. We should know that it is not solve the problem yet. The India government should give girls more chance for education. It will help them win their own rights. The India parents should know that girl is also their child. They should give them more care. Especially for their spirit.

Abortion Bind And Gender Imbalances
In (2008) article entitled “Abortion Bind And Gender Imbalances,” Yale global points out that government gives women right to legal induced abortion, but it is used for sex-selective abortion, which causes gender imbalance. First of all he states that sex ratio changes a lot because many couples use ultrasounds to choose the sex of their children in India and China. The number of boys is much higher than that of girls. Next, he claims that the government uses a policy to limit sex- selective abortions, but it is reason of cultural beliefs. Third, he points out that the gender imbalances will make a lot of men become bachelors. The more bachelors they have, the more crime will happen. In the end, he points out that the sex- selective abortion also causes gender bias, which means people use new technology to choose boys.
It’s clear that sex- selective abortion is very common in India and China, which breaks crude birth discipline and causes gender imbalance. However, the couples who got higher education also would like to use ultrasound to choose their babies. Also the gender imbalance affects Americans. Furthermore, Many Chinese and Indian immigrant communities contribute to local economic development, but also bring some older tradition like problem for sons to continue the family name and bloodline.
First, the India and Chinese governments should let their people know that gender imbalance is a big problem right now; every person should have responsibility. The government can use media to promulgate that information. People should know if they have too many boys their sons will become bachelors in the future, which is very close to their life. Parents should know there are not enough resources for their children so the less children they have, the more survival opportunity their babies will get. The government should have a better social welfare, which will help their people accept their advice.
Second, the people who got higher education accept new things more easily. The government should limit of how many children each couple can have. Also, government should forbid hospital use of ultrasounds to help parents’ choose the sex of their babies. The people who are higher educated should know gender can not stand the achievement people have. The most important thing is whether this person tries his/her best to do something. Although some companies give different treatment to men and women, it will change in the future. There is no difference between men and women.
Third, there is a number of India and Chinese immigrants who are staying in the U.S. The groups of them become bigger and bigger; I believe that one day the number of the Indian and Chinese immigrant communities will be equal to the number of local people in U.S. Furthermore, the American government should take some actions to avoid away from gender imbalance, because India and Chinese immigrants want boys. Government should limit hospitals from helping people abort and do ultrasounds. Also, the U.S. should give people some good advice to forget some bad and older tradition.
In conclusion, the sex-selection is very bad for gender balance. Government and society should work together to change people’s mind about the old culture. Every person should have the responsible to their country and their children’s future.

India must meet new demographic challenge
In Hanada’s (2007) article, “India must meet new demographic challenge”, he points out that India has 1 billion people, so there was an interview for talking about population in India. These are three stages that will affect population growth changing; death and birth rates, good medical breakthrough and investment in health and education: economic and social development; the empowerment of women; and acceptance and availability of contraceptives. Second, he points out the reason why family planning didn’t success was that there were some cultural roots and gender selection. Third, he points out that age structure is more important than the size of the population. Also India is a new country; large population causes social problems, such as health systems and security. However more training and education and being careful of HIV or AIDS are most important for young people.
I agree with the reasons that population growth is changing. People should change the root which causes gender imbalance. Although age structure in India is very low, people should send their children to school. Therefore, India just has a large number of young people, but they do not have knowledge; their economy cannot develop. HIV and AIDS is a big killer for young people, so the government and society should work together far away from them.
First of all, people should change the root, which causes gender imbalance. Some roots are not right, which we should forget. For example, the idea that boy is better than a girl, or that near relative marriage is better. Men and women are the same; they can do the same job, play the same sports and work together. Government has a social security right now so parents do not need to be cared of their children. However, it always happens in some LDC’s because they need more hands to grow corn. The government should give some preferential treatment to encourage poor people to develop their local economy.
Next, although India has a low age structure, it is like a double-edged sword. It is easier for young people to do stupid things. Government should give young people something to do, give them good education and teach them some useful skill. If they have something to do, they will not have enough time to break rules. I think education can change people’s behavior and teach them how to contribute to their country. Furthermore, technology can make economy grow faster and faster, which makes a country more powerful.
Finally, it’s clearly that HIV and AIDS is the first killer for young people. I think most people do not watch out for it. Maybe they think it is far from them. The government should let young people watch some videos or give some speech, which helps them know how important it is. HIV and AIDS does not just happen around young people, it’s a social problem. I think parents should limit their children’s going to clubs or some dangerous place alone. Some entertainment places should limit young children from coming in.
In conclusion, we should change our roots and forget some bad cultures. Government should give young people some chance to work or have opportunity for studying. Government should forbid young people from going to some entertainment places and society should give them a good environment.

Gender imbalance a threat to stability
In Kontominas’s (2007) article entitled “ Gender imbalance a threat to stability,” he points out that Asian women are at risk because of the gender imbalance. First of all she states that sex trafficking and violence are around women because the number of adult women are outweighed by that of men. Next, she claims that people in China, India, Nepal and Vietnam prefer a son to a girl so they use sex selection to chose which baby they want. Sex selection causes gender imbalance, so it should be prohibited. Third, he points out that just closer regulation of foetal-scanning services does not work very well. People should change their minds to increase the value of women and protect women’s rights.
First, sex trafficking and violence against are very common in Asia countries. I think government should use laws to protect women’s rights. By the way, people need to know laws and know how to use laws to strengthen their rights. The people in Asia cannot take education for each person so they don’t know laws either. Furthermore, the best way is improve people’s quality of behaviors, people should know how to treat people very kindly and respect others’ rights. Therefore, the violence will be reduced and women will feel safety in their normal life.
Second, sex selection is technology that is used in bad way. The baby is innocent; parents cannot decide whether they want it or not. 10 years ago, most Chinese people thought son was better because more boys meant more hands can help. Furthermore, some people think children can take care of them when they are old. I think the reason is low education and poorly. If people have enough food to eat, they will not care whether is a girl or son. The government should develop their economy and widespread education.
Finally, closing regulation of foetal-scanning services does not work very well. Protect women’ rights requires to changing people’s value of women. Men and women are equal; men cannot use violence because they are stronger than women. Government should use media to improve social moral standards. For example, if people see a guy is hitting a woman, they should prevent it. Women also can build organizations to protect their rights by themselves. People should know women are most important for society; they have the same value as men do.
In conclusion, if people get high education and have improved social moral standards, sex trafficking and violence against women will disappeared one day. In fact, the gender imbalance is in Asia because people are very poor and most cannot feed themselves. Government should use laws and media to change civic behaviors.

Travel
The oil price becomes higher and higher because resources are very poor. Oil is the first energy right now, so it limits business developing. This is a big problem that is close to us. We drive our car to go to work, go to school and go shopping. We cannot live without cars. Also a car needs to drink oil every day. On the other hand, if the oil price gets much higher, we should pay more money for feeding our car. For example, our income is $500 per month; my car needs 30 gallon per month. The oil price is $4 per gallon, so my oil fee is $120 per month. If the oil price gets higher by $1, I should pay $30 more. It’s a big deal for me. I will think that I should sell my car and buy a bicycle. People same as me may go out by bus or on foot. Driving car is very convenient and fast, so our living steps will become more slow. I will leave my house much earlier; it means I lose 20 minutes for sleeping. It’s also a big problem for me, because I should hold many bags in my hands.

Video game
According to "f," WILLIAN (2000), " In 1974 Atari employees Bob Brown and Harold Lee propose a home version of 'pong’, able to be hooked up to any tv set. In 1975 they cut a deal to sell the system under the Sears tele-games label. The order was for 150,000 units. Bushnell has nowhere near the facilities to produce that many in the time sears wants them, so he taps a venture capitalist for a $10 million line-of-credit to expand."(p. 7). Since 1949, people have designed video games. In the beginning, video games were very simple, but they needed a big machine. Nobody wanted to play them. In 1971, Nolan Bushnell was developed, but it did not sell well. In 1974 Kee games designed 'tank', which was the most successful and popular game in the world. After that, video games became more and more popular. In those days, more and more people are playing video games, and there were some problems came out. Video games are very bad for people's health. We should stop playing the violent video games because it will abet people in crime. We should stop playing video games too much, especially for children; heavy video game use by kids will slow brain development. We should stop playing games because it’s like drugs; more and more people are addicted to video games right now.
In "Computer and video game history," Mary Bellis states, "In 1952, Douglas wrote his PhD degree at the University of Ambridge on human computer interaction. Douglas created the first graphical computer game- a version of Tic- Tac - Toe" (para. 1). Willian Higinbotham designed the first video game in 1958 that was called "Tennis for Two," in 1962, Steve Russell created Spaceward, which was the first game played on computer. In 1967, Ralph Bear designed Chase, which was the first video game played on television. In 1971, Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney wrote the first arcade game. In 1972, they started to design Atari computers. In 1975, Atari re-released Pong, which came out in people's life. In 1976, Channel F was created and it was one of the first games that used electronic systems. In 1980, Atari designed "Asteroids" and "Lunar Lander," which were the first two video games that were published in the Copyright office.
First, we shouldn’t play the violent video games. In "Game over for China's net addicts" the author states,” ‘the effects are the same,’ Tao said. 'Some addicts drop out of school, some mug people for money, steal and sell their families' things to keep playing games. Some end up killing themselves because they feel life has no point’. Addiction to the Internet is blamed for most juvenile crime in China, a number of suicides, and deaths from exhaustion by players unable to tear themselves away from marathon game sessions"(2007, para. 18). Video games encourage people to break the law and try what they play in violent games. They think they can get money from people who are not stronger than them. In the games, players can kill different people who have low level or bad equipment. In the game, there are no rules. People just look at who is at high level or strong. In "Violent video games cited as bad gifts for kids" the author states (2004) "publish standards for marketing video games that encourage or reward players for performing acts of violence and brutality, and that depict images demeaning to women and minorities; place M-rated games in a location separate from other games in stores; post signage describing the video games ratings systems; and evaluate and report on their enforcement and compliance programs of policies to prevent minors from purchasing violent video games…"(Para. 8). It mean the violent video games can affect your life habits, You will use same feeling to think about people and tings that happen in your life. You will use same way to solve that problem too. The violent video games are like minors, it let juvenile crimes easy to happen in normal life. Especially for young people, they do not have good personal control ability. They are easy to accept some new things, but they cannot separate bad and good things. It is easy try to break laws because of an impulse.
Second, we should stop playing video games because heavy video game use by kids will slow brain development. In "Heavy Video Game Use by Kids May slow Brain Development" the author states, “Is a task such as the Kraepelin test a fair comparison? I believe that it is more than fair. Adding single digit numbers is a very mundane task that does not sound like it would require much of the brain. If video games use even less of the brain than the simple task of adding single digit numbers, then imagine how much less of the brain that they use than more complex activities such as socially interacting with peers. Frontal lobe development is necessary for learning to control behavior, as well as for developing memory, emotion and learning.” It means when children play video games; they just use their eyes to look at changing in TV screen and listen to songs. They don’t need to use their brain to think, remember or have emotion. Most of time brain doesn’t work or just works in a small area. . If you don’t let your brain be active, your behavior will be affected by what you play. In “Heavy Video Game Use by Kids May slow Brain Development” the author states “He appears convinced that children who play computer and video games excessively will not develop their frontal lobes and may be more prone to act more violently as they grow up. His research findings bolster earlier findings that violent video games contribute to violent behavior.” (2001, papa. 5). Many video games have violent now, if children play too much of those games, their behavior will become violent and irascible. They will not have a mellow attitude to solve problems, only violence. It is the most important time to stop playing computer games.
Third, we should stop playing games because it is like drug, more and more people are addicted to video games right now. "At the end of 2006, China had 137 million Internet users, an increase of 23.4 percent from the previous year. Of users under 18, an estimated 13 percent -- or 2.3 million -- are Internet addicts, according to a 2006 study by the China National Children's Centre."(2007, Para. 13) More and more young people are addicted to Internet games in China right now. A number of juvenile crimes are also caused by Internet games. Some violent games affect people’s minds and become a real killer. Internet games are like alcoholism and drugs. Most young people lose their dream and want to kill themselves. The online games are like alcoholism and drugs. They give people a virtual place to do what they want. They will kill other players and not need go to jail. They come to love to play this game all day. If they don’t have money to pay for the game, they will steal things to sell or rob people. A number of juvenile crimes are also caused by Internet games so we should help them and keep them away from games. If people play a lot of violent games, they want to try it in real life. Maybe they will kill people just for their cyber swords or virtual money. They become crazy and adapt to breaking the law, especially if they don’t have enough money to play games. In "Game over for China's net addicts" (2007), the author states "With education perceived by many parents as the only means of advancement in an ultra-competitive society of 1.3 billion people, some lock their children up to study and ask teachers to assign them extra homework.” (para. 27) That means the parental pressure is also useful to help children break Internet addiction. The children live in society so family, school and government should get together to help children break video addiction.
In conclusion, these days, every child plays video games and computer games at home; they take much time playing games. Their life is the game. They do not use their brain as usual, they do not study or do some exercise. They will become sick and slow. Many violent games are very dangerous, which will encourage children to commit crime and change their behavior. Government should use laws to limit violent games and Internet bars. Parents should help their children to pick good video games to play and limit their time. Children should go outside to do some exercise and hang out friends, not play games the whole day. It’s not that video games are bad; some games can also improve your health. In “Computer Games Are Good For Your Health” the author states “ At the same time, WVU monitored health indicators throughout the period, including weight, blood pressure, body mass index, arterial function, fitness levels and attitudes towards exercise.”(2007. Papa. 3) We should balance our time and choose a good video game to play.

In "Computer and video game history," Mary Bellis states, "In 1952, Douglas wrote his PhD degree at the University of Ambridge on human computer interaction. Douglas created the first graphical computer game- a version of Tic- Tac - Toe" (para. 1). Willian Higinbotham designed the first video game in 1958 that was called "Tennis for Two," in 1962, Steve Russell created Spaceward, which was the first game played on computer. In 1967, Ralph Bear designed Chase, which was the first video game played on television. In 1971, Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney wrote the first arcade game. In 1972, they started to design Atari computers. In 1975, Atari re-released Pong, which came out in people's life. In 1976, Channel F was created and it was one of the first games that used electronic systems. In 1980, Atari designed "Asteroids" and "Lunar Lander," which were the first two video games that were published in the Copyright office.
First, we shouldn’t play the violent video games. In "Game over for China's net addicts" the author states,” ‘the effects are the same,’ Tao said. 'Some addicts drop out of school, some mug people for money, steal and sell their families' things to keep playing games. Some end up killing themselves because they feel life has no point’. Addiction to the Internet is blamed for most juvenile crime in China, a number of suicides, and deaths from exhaustion by players unable to tear themselves away from marathon game sessions"(2007, para. 18). Video games encourage people to break the law and try what they play in violent games. They think they can get money from people who are not stronger than them. In the games, players can kill different people who have low level or bad equipment. In the game, there are no rules. People just look at who is at high level or strong. In "Violent video games cited as bad gifts for kids" the author states (2004) "publish standards for marketing video games that encourage or reward players for performing acts of violence and brutality, and that depict images demeaning to women and minorities; place M-rated games in a location separate from other games in stores; post signage describing the video games ratings systems; and evaluate and report on their enforcement and compliance programs of policies to prevent minors from purchasing violent video games…"(Para. 8). It mean the violent video games can affect your life habits, You will use same feeling to think about people and tings that happen in your life. You will use same way to solve that problem too. The violent video games are like minors, it let juvenile crimes easy to happen in normal life. Especially for young people, they do not have good personal control ability. They are easy to accept some new things, but they cannot separate bad and good things. It is easy try to break laws because of an impulse.
Second, we should stop playing video games because heavy video game use by kids will slow brain development. In "Heavy Video Game Use by Kids May slow Brain Development" the author states, “Is a task such as the Kraepelin test a fair comparison? I believe that it is more than fair. Adding single digit numbers is a very mundane task that does not sound like it would require much of the brain. If video games use even less of the brain than the simple task of adding single digit numbers, then imagine how much less of the brain that they use than more complex activities such as socially interacting with peers. Frontal lobe development is necessary for learning to control behavior, as well as for developing memory, emotion and learning.” It means when children play video games; they just use their eyes to look at changing in TV screen and listen to songs. They don’t need to use their brain to think, remember or have emotion. Most of time brain doesn’t work or just works in a small area. . If you don’t let your brain be active, your behavior will be affected by what you play. In “Heavy Video Game Use by Kids May slow Brain Development” the author states “He appears convinced that children who play computer and video games excessively will not develop their frontal lobes and may be more prone to act more violently as they grow up. His research findings bolster earlier findings that violent video games contribute to violent behavior.” (2001, papa. 5). Many video games have violent now, if children play too much of those games, their behavior will become violent and irascible. They will not have a mellow attitude to solve problems, only violence. It is the most important time to stop playing computer games.
