Fitzpatrick, Laura. "World." TIME.com. Time Magazine, 27 July 2009. Web. 12 Dec. 2013. The one-child policy was implemented in order to decrease Chinas population and benefit Chinas economically. This secondary source was very influential to my knowledge because it enhanced my understanding of the one-child policy. I think this is a primary source because its a newspaper article and its includes excerpts of interviews.

Buckley, Chris. "Hurdles Seen for Change to China's One-Child Rule." Asia Pacific. The New York Times, 17 Nov. 2013. Web. 13 Dec. 2013. When Chinas population wasnt increasing as much as they had expected that allowed couples to become eligible to have two children. This first-hand source provided with background knowledge on the recent change in the one child policy. It think this is a primary source because it provides background knowledge from Chinese officials and critics to support the topic. Wetzstein, Cheryl. "Little Change in Practice for Chinas One-child Family Policy."Washington Times. The Washington Times, 24 Nov. 2013. Web. 13 Dec. 2013. Although the new change in the one-child policy may benefit the couples, it still doesnt change the issue of female infanticide and sex-selected abortions. I think this source is primary because information is provided from first-hand viewers of the one-child policy. This source made me more aware of the benefits and consequences of the policy.

Back, Aaron. "ELibrary: Login." ELibrary: Login. Wall Street Journal, 6 Aug. 2013. Web. 12 Dec. 2013. When Chinas working age started to shrink this allowed couples to have an option of having two children. This first-hand resource was very influential to my paper because it broadened my knowledge of why the Chinese government made this slight change in the policy. I think this is a primary source because its a newspaper article and incorporates first-hand interviews.

Vink, Michele. "Historical Newspapers." Historical Newspapers. Wall Street Journal, 30 Nov. 1981. Web. 12 Dec. 2013. With China having too many people and not enough land and food, economically, they were forced to implement this one-child policy. This source provides legitimate interviews to justify their point, making it a primary source. This primary source was very important to my project because it provided me with initial information about my topic.

Erik, John. "Historical Newspapers." Historical Newspapers. New York Times, 3 Jan. 1982. Web. 12 Dec. 2013. The Chinese government was basically forced into implementing the one-child policy in order to control their vast population growth as fast as possibly. This primary resource was essential to my project because it gave me insight history of my topic. This is a primary source because its a historical newspaper article with first-hand interviews.

Once China was once again introduced to birth control, sterilization, and abortion due to technology, China started to mass produce, causing a huge increase in population. This source provided me

with the foundation of the policy and how it all began. I think this source falls into the secondhand category because it interprets and discusses the original material and history of the policy.
