* Monday, September 13, 2004 * To Control Population
The rapid rise in world population is creating problems for all countries on earth because there aren't enough resources. Both developed and developing countries should take united action on deal with the population explosion. Otherwise, there will be more people fighting for less land and fewer resources, and the future will bring poverty, misery and war to us all. The total population in the world has exceeded 6 billion. Population increase in developing countries has wiped out the material benefits that they have achieved. Statistics show that where the population rate is high, people's living standards are low. This means that people's living conditions cannot be improved unless there is a reduction in the increased rate of population. With fewer children in a family, parents spend less time on household chores and concentrate more on their own careers, and their children enjoy better material and educational opportunities than in bigger families. Overpopulation creates a shortage of food, schools, teachers, hospitals and doctors. Overpopulation causes problems in housing and employment, especially in big cities. Whether to have children or not is a private matter and nobody should interfere with it. If the policy of one child for a couple is still in practice in 100 years, people then will have little idea of kinship ties, for most of them will have no brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts or cousins. With the government's family planning policy in operation, we now have a generation of "only child" families: most of the children are arrogant, self-centered and spoilt. Children in big families have more enjoyment because they can play with their brothers and sisters. |
