How can we get by population control policies?

Do you live in a big crowded city? Do you ever feel uncomfortable about it? Do you like to travel in some small islands because there was have so many people in there and its make you feel relaxative? If your answer is yes, you should feel happy about it. Because even though you live in a crowded place, you still can find some place to relax your mind and pressure. Unfortunately, your descendants could not enjoy it anymore, if human population continues to increase. We should do something to prevent the tragedy from happening. How can we prevent it from happening? The population control policies are a good decision. There are some good reasons.

First, population control policies can save our environment. Population control policies can save a lot of natural resource. So, if population could be decreased, we would not need so much wood for paper, gasoline for cars, fuel for energy, and land for humans to live. The forests can be saved and some endangered animals can safely stay in their habitat. In addition, global warming can be controlled. If we can save energy for cars, air conditioners, heaters, and lights. It can decrease the amount of carbon dioxide, so the temperature can descend and desertification can be go into remission. Humans are the only group who overuses natural resources, breaks ecological systems, and pollutes our environment. If population continues to increase, the environmental problems will become more and more serious, and the result is human will be disrupted by ourselves, just like the movie “The day after tomorrow”.

Second, population control is good for our society. Students can get more of higher quality education. For example, when class members are from 50 students become 25, students can get more attention from the teachers and resources form the school than before. And if every family just has one to two children, parents can pay more attention to take care and teach their children. For example, when they watch violent news and TV programs, the parents can tell their children what is wrong about the violent behaviors and also teach them the correct ways to deal with bad situation. By the way, the crime rate will decrease because children know the correct ways to deal with problems. Population control policies is a good way stabilize our society. If everyone can grow up by love, get enough education, find a good job, and do not need to worry about their life, our society will become safer because no one needs to fight for their life.

The last reason for population control policies is health. The medical resources can be used better. When you see a doctor, how long you can talk with her or him? The doctors are always busy because they have too many patients. As the result, every patient just can get 5 to 10 minutes per time. The same about nursing services, if one nurse has to take care about 15 patients, the services will worst than one nurse who just needs take care about 7 patients. Population control policies have the other way to influence your health, it is through on food. People need food to live but farmers are difficult to produce huge amount foods for humans by traditional way. So, scientists found a way to produce food bigger and quickly, that is genetically-modified foods. But recently more and more people worry about genetically-modified foods because scientists use different genes to change the food. If people have allergy for the genes which the scientists used to produce genetically-modified foods, they will also have allergy for that kind of genetically-modified foods. Until now, we still could not know how the genetically-modified foods will influence our health and earth because the genetically-modified foods are new technologic products. Genetically-modified foods are produce by the amount that humans need, but if we do not need so much food, we do not need genetically-modified foods and their useless either. Health is an important thing that everyone needs to take seriously. Beautiful life is built by good healthy condition. Population control policies can offer a good environment for your physical condition.

Opponents of population control policies say that single child will miss some social skills and they may have trouble working with others. However, this criticism is untrue because when a family just has one to two children, the children can have higher quality of life. Trying to imagine a situation, there have two families they have the came income and house space, one of them has five children and the other just has two, which family can get better quality of life. The answer is easy to see, the family which has two children can has better life. Those children not only do not need to share the space and food with so many siblings but also can get more love, attention, care, and resources of mental support and education opportunity. The parents also can get high quality life because they just need to focus on two children and after those children grow up, they can have their personal life again. Children of smaller families are not the same meaning with lower social skills, children also can learn a lot of social skills from communicating with their parents, relatives, friends, and teachers. Population control policies are good methods to raise human’s life quality.

In conclusion, population control policies are very important to protect our life and environment. Do you ever think about what will happen when human population keeps growing and the natural resources are exhausted? Your grandchildren or grand-grandchildren may not have gasoline for cars, wood for paper, land for life, and even farms for foods. Population control policies might not the only way to protect this, but population control policies are the most powerful way to do that. If we can execute Population control policies, even though our family members will become smaller, they can get higher quality life.
