3. What are their credentials? This was just a student that did similar research on the topic.
4. What does your source say about your topic? It was 1979 when Xiaoping first introduced the One-Child Policy to his nation. China's population had more than tripled since 1900 and the government was feeling constant pressure to bring down the numbers. However, there were problems with the idea of a One-Child Policy and China's government knew well of these problems. According to Chinese tradition, there must be a male child in order for the family to continue. Sometimes a family has four girls before a boy is finally given birth to. This was soon to change under Xiaoping's new policy that was enforced nationwide beginning in 1981.
5. Do you believe your source? Yes. I believe this source.
6. Why or why not? I believe it because the person writing this doesn't have any opinion of their own that he is trying to get across, he is just investigating the laws about it just like me.
