I think that Obama's visit to Cuba was definitely a good idea because it will ease tensions between the two countries. "Thawing" accurately describes this situation as the 20th century really escalated the conflict between these nations, and coming back from those events will take time. His visit to Cuba was a step in the right direction, and will hopefully influence future leaders to work towards resolving the conflict.
ReplyDeleteI think it was a good idea for President Obama to visit Cuba. When the ban was lifted, I heard about it on the news everywhere. After all President Obama was the first President to visit in a long time, almost a century to be exact. Although he visited, I dont think much was done. I saw pictures of the 2 leaders side by side, but that is basically it. Although it didn't seem like they did much, his visit is defiantly is a step in the right direction for a positive future for both the US and Cuba.
ReplyDeleteI think that it is obvious to say that China's population will grow more rapidly now that the one child policy has been lifted. With the policy millions were prevented from being born. I think that it is good that the policy has been lifted. It doesn't seem right for a country to limit their citizens birthing rights. With the previous generations being forced to have one child, I feel that there will be a lot more children in the future.

ReplyDeleteI believe China's population will not grow more rapidly since the removal of the one child policy. China would not have removed this law if they didn't already know that the repercussions would be subtle and safe for their countries population control to stay in tact. It seems unrealistic for the population to drastically change because typically we've seen in history that when laws are added or taken away, it takes a little while for the people to comply with the change. China has probably thoroughly thought through their actions and came to the conclusion that the one child policy was no longer necessary.
