Critics fear that China's ability to control the Mekong's flow gives it leverage over downstream nations who rely on China's goodwill.

The quality of parenting can be more essential than the quantity of time spent with the child. For instance, a parent can spend an entire afternoon with his or her child, yet the parent may be engaging in a different activity and not demonstrating enough interest towards the child. Parenting styles are the representation of how parents respond to and make demands on their children.

Several feminist legal scholars have criticized Halley's work, and particularly her call to "take a break from feminism". In her book Reshaping the Work-Family Debate, Joan Williams writes that this call is "not a play date that women subjected to domestic violence, rape, impoverishment upon divorce, sex discrimination at work, and other subjects at the center of feminism would care to attend". Williams argues that Halley's work is focused more on an assimilation-desire to resemble men, than on women's issues. She also hints that there is a connection between what she terms as Halley's "celebration of masculinity" and her position at Harvard, writing that "it is intriguing that Harvard has chosen a gender theorist who makes a name for herself by telling women not to make demands on men".

A couple of years before, Marcus had identified different roots underlying the band's merger of music and politics, arguing that they "have absorbed from reggae and the Rastas the idea of a culture that will make demands on those in power which no government could ever satisfy; a culture that will be exclusive, almost separatist, yet also messianic, apocalyptic and stoic, and that will ignore or smash any contradiction inherent in such a complexity of stances." Critic Sean Campbell has discussed how Lydon's Irish Catholic heritage both facilitated his entrée into London's reggae scene and complicated his position for the ethnically English working class—the background his bandmates had in common.Campbell, Sean, "Sounding Out the Margins", pp. 127–130. Johnny Rotten on stage in Paradiso, Amsterdam, January 1977 Critic Bill Wyman acknowledges that Lydon's "fierce intelligence and astonishing onstage charisma" were important catalysts, but ultimately finds the band's real meaning lies in McLaren's provocative media manipulations.

For him the "Islamic message" to which Muslims are expected to bear witness is not primarily the particularist, socially conservative code of traditionalist jurists, but a commitment to universalism and the welfare of non-Muslims; it is also an injunction not merely to make demands on un-Islamic societies but to express solidarity with them.Ramadan, Tariq – To Be a European Muslim – Publisher: Islamic Foundation p. 150 Ramadan has voiced his opposition to all forms of capital punishment but believes the Muslim world should remove such laws from within, without any Western pressure, as such would only further alienate Muslims, and instead bolster the position of those who support hudud punishments: "Muslim populations are convincing themselves of the Islamic character of these practices through a rejection of the west, on the basis of a simplistic reasoning that stipulates that 'the less western, the more Islamic'".We must not accept this repression The Muslim conscience demands a halt to stonings and executions – The Guardian – Tariq Ramadan 30 March 2005 He has condemned suicide bombing and violence as a tactic.
