"The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button" is one of my favourite movies. The movie only spends three hours to outline Benjamin's normal but extraordinary life. There are several profound sentences in this movie and they are all insightful and philosophical. He, Benjamin was borned in a splendid way but he spend his life as one of the most inconsiderable one in the world. He sacrificed his perfect and brilliant life to his family therefore he had to forsake and suffer from another miserable life.

Some people are born to sit by a river.

Some get struck by lightning.

Some have an ear for music.

Some are artists.

Some swim.

Some know buttons.

Some know Shakespeare.

Some are mothers.

And some people... dance.

= China Would Suffer from the Birth Control policy =

The policy of Birth Control is a significant and conspicuous characteristic of China. As the basic policy of a nation, the Birth Control policy helps China get rid of the inflation of the huge population. The positive effect in society is an undiniable truth. Nevertheless, the Chinese government should abrogate the Birth Control policy because the drawbacks and conflicts are becoming more and more striking and prominent. Firstly, the Birth Control will lead the community to an aging society. This will create hard tasks in the social welfare system. The largest area of expenditure in many countries is now health care, whose cost is likely to increase dramaticlly as the population ages. This would present the government with hard choices between higher taxes, including a possible reweighing of taxes earnings to consumption, and a reduced government role in providing health care. Especially, when China’s health care system is not well-developed. The loss of labour and skilled workers will also be a momentous problem because of the heavy taxes. That will lead to the recession of the economy and delay the rate of development. Therefore, the aging population will lead to the great degenerations to many aspects of society. Moreover, the stable family form “4-2-1” is motivated by the Birth Control policy which means 4 senior citizens, 2 middle age people and 1 child. Two people have to assume the responsibilities of taking care of 5 people that might impose too many burdens to the middle-ager. The children now are all the “Only Child” in the family and they are over-spoiled. That will cause the crusty behavours and terrible personality like becoming selfish, arrogant, solitary and impolite. The major reason for this is because they’re the most precious thing in their parent’s eyes and there are no same age people in their families. Consequently, they don’t know how to get along with the others. This will lead to the lack of sensibilities of the whole nation. Last but not the least, the basic policy is established because of the conditions or the main conflicts of the country. The major problem now in China is not the number of population anymore. The more considerable difficulty is how civilized the citizens are of a state. Take Japan as an example; the density of the population is 338 people per square kilometre while the density of China is 150 people per square kilometre which means that the density of Japan is twice to that of China. How could Japan be such a developed country, it’s because of the education. For that reason, there is some way more efficient and effective for the Chinese government to deal with this predicament. In a word, once a certain limit is reached, a change in the opposite direction is inevitable. The policy of Birth Control has already met it’s accomplishments. The government should play a role of leading but not controlling. The policy also deprives the right of giving birth to new lives. On that account, we can not attribute all the fault to the population and the Chinese government needs to bring an end to this awkward situation and stop the tendency of an aging society.
