Decrease Population

[Isaac_Ramirez]

The birth rate is already decreasing. It has been for many decades. This is greatly tied to wealth. As a country becomes more wealthy, the birth rate tends to decrease. In the past, it was more important to people to have more children. Not that long ago, the majority of society was involved in farming. Now it is just a small percent of the population. When people had old traditional farms it required a lot of work, so people would have more children to have more free labor. This is still the case in some places, but it's happening less an less as technology relieves farm workers around the world.

I think big families are also a product of tradition, not only desire for free labour. Religious people are more likely to have more children. Smaller families are more characteristic for urban population and the Western society.

The population is a collection of individuals from one species used and living in a particular area. an example of a collection of coconut trees in the garden and a number of ants that live in the hole.

There are 7.8 billion people in the world today --- and if we think that the statistical data shows too much population of the world, then we would most likely to think that it must be reduced. Well, personally, I think that we could not and should not forcefully decrease those numbers. However, I believe that we can raise an awareness to do almost the same as the other. Hence, it must start within a family. Natural birth control for me is the moset approprite way of decreasing the population growth. This birth control method is a cheap, practical, and 'less immoral' and 'less condemnable' one. And by using this kind of bith control method, we will give the involved persons free to choose and to make a decision whole-heartedly.

What should people's awareness be raised about? What should they know? What should be implied that would be good? That they have no kids? Or that they should have fewer children? Why? What do you mean by natural birth control? Just choosing not to have more children?

[SkyFlakes]

It may seem that the increase of population in our world is inevitable but we can still do something or it I believe. I'm pro-life but we should als consider our environment. We don't want a world full of people that we can move due to it. I think laws about awareness about birth control could consider. Also laws about having specific number of child can be consider. This I think what we can do for now. At least we are not into a point that we would kill just to control population growth.

The current population growth rate is a big problem. Therefore, the population growth rate should be controlled to prevent many future problems. There is a big responsibility for a government. The government needs to improve the healthcare system. Family planning methods should be introduced and the public should be made aware of this.

What do you think is the best way to decrease population?

Nuclear war.

What? Nuclear war? I think it is not a solution to the problem, but it adds a problem to many parties, it is good to give rules to all countries and governments to socialize to the family in order to be limited by the number of children, such as a maximum of one family has two children or one child only.

[jossiel]

The food that we eat today mostly are containing chemicals that give us some diseases that are showing the signs later on.

I don't really think we should do something about it because it's a function of the Nature to control the population. All we've got to do is just smile and wave

Pollution, global warming, famine, deforestation, etc.

We may not notice it but we're heading there, sadly.

Nuclear war, chemtrails, junkfood.

What a ridiculous idea! Seems pretty counterproductive. Maybe people are concerned that we are doing too much damage to the planet because we have too may people. Imagine how much damage a nuclear war would do to the planet! Once the war started, it would just escalate. This would lead to more destruction. War would probably distract people from any efforts that were being made before to take better care of the environment. During a war, some may take advantage of the turmoil and exploit even more resources while nobody is paying attention. Sure, you might have less people, but you'd have so many more problems.

The current population growth rate is a big problem. Therefore, the population growth rate should be controlled to prevent many problems in the future. It is not just the responsibility of a government that needs to be joined by the whole community. Family planning methods should be widely available for everyone to know

What do you think is the best way to decrease population?

1. Provide universal access to safe and effective contraceptive options for both sexes.
2. Offer age-appropriate sexuality education for all students.
3. Adjust to an aging population instead of boosting childbearing through government incentives and programs.

All the point goes to sex education. I agree that Government should take big part for managing of boost childbearing. At some places, contraceptive options was being adopted with success result, while at others place they still need more participation of both parent and younger to takes the spot.

What do you think is the best way to decrease population?

I’d rather not consider inhumane ways to control or curb population growth. Maybe instead of focusing concerns and efforts on controlling it, what if we search for a solution that would be able to accommodate the uncontrollable growth of population? There are a lot of research now being conducted with regards to technologies focusing on space colonization or even the digitization of human consciousness via virtual and augmented realities. That would seem more feasible and humane, don't you think?

[Earl Ragnaar]

Well There are so many different ways through which you can reduce the papulation of the country or the even the world like family planning. But on the second thoughts why it should be reduced?
Having huge and extensive populace has a major issue additionally for a nation. First thing is destitution. Overpopulated nations likewise the poor nation. In any case, not all overpopulated nations are poor, there are some that is rich in light of the fact that their kin are persevering and can create cash for their family. Having such strategies like one kid or two isn't the best solution for such issues. Diminishing populace isn't simply the best arrangement yet we should train ourselves for the betterment of our own life and our country.

[HI KITTY]

What do you think is the best way to decrease population?

There's a way to decrease the population by the following:
1. Provide the universal access to safe and effective contraceptive options for both sexes.
2. Conduct a sex education  for all secondary and tertiary schools, especially girls.
3. Destroy completely all gender bias from law, economic opportunity, health, and culture, and
4. Provide age-appropriate sexuality education for all students.

Really? A whole strange lot on here. So many people seem to be in support of war. I had to actually pinch myself to be sure I wasn't dreaming. Wars don't reduce population only. They also reduce infrastructure and resources. What does this imply? It means we are always back to square one or even worse. I have a question of mine. Why is human population we need to reduce. Why not increase our productivity?

[Jarvis Edge]

Actually demography experts are not that worried about population increase. They claim that we will never see the 12 billionth person in the world. Over 90% of the world economies have increased last year, slowly but pretty surely the standard of living of the people around the world is getting better. This is a long process but eventually even what we call third world countries will metamorph in societies that resemble western such. This decreases birth rates, there are number of examples to back that up. Overpopulation is not that big of an issue, it will decrease over time.

Thank you for this positive perspective. I had read some of the literature before about overpopulation being a myth. I even read that we may have underpopulation problems. I never heard about never seeing the 12 billionth person though. I agree that the world is definitely getting "richer". Things are getting cheaper to produce overall. More people are able to afford conveniences that didn't even exist just a century ago. I also have a very optimistic view about the future of our world!

Wars actually cause an increase in the population. Check the population charts of countries such as Russia and Germany which suffered the most from WW2. There was a sudden spike immediately after the war was over. War is never the solution for anything.
