When I taught a global studies course (which I’ll be doing again next semester for the first time in three years) without fail on the first day that I introduced China to the class, one or more of the students would make a reference to the “one child policy.” That would in turn lead to all kinds of conversations about the politics and culture of modern China. Snag Learning hosts a nice National Geographic film titled China’s Lost Girls that examines some of the political and cultural ramifications of China’s “one child policy.” Watch the film and find discussion questions for it here.
