Population solutions..group 4.
Ideas on population control? Well I have a few. Some I strongly believe could work and well others, not as much. Well I do believe that one idea that most people are talking about, educating more people, could work but yet in a way that could do no good. I mean it could actually help, that is only if most people listen. We can't just expect people to do what we say or in other words there are a lot of people who rebel against that kind of stuff. I also think that killing people and stuff like that is a little too harsh for the situation right now. Although in the future, it could unfortunately come down to that, which is actually really cruel and sad. But right now I truly do think major action does need to be taken with the population. I think that using a law similar to China's (one child per couple) could work but I mean look at China's population now, it is one of the world’s highest populations. I think the governments could be a little harsher about food and birth rate. On the other hand, I do not think that all of the nations should combine into one big government. First of all, that could cause more problems with controversy and disagreement. Secondly, the government could also take over and I find that a little scary. One of the solutions I agree with the most is adoption. There are so many kids out there without homes that we could help and at the same time be slowing down population growth. I think this is a very good idea! Even though I think a lot of these things could help, they all have their disadvantages. I do think right now that educating people and passing a law about slowing birth rate could possibly be our best option. Also the adoption solution I think could also work for the better. I would really like to hear anyone else’s ideas and concerns about future growth population. So if you have any…post them.

Population control is very helpful in many situations. However, population control can also be very restraining or limiting to certain countries. On a different note, sometimes restraining and limiting the population severely is what is needed in a country in order to keep its population controlled. An example of a country in dire need of limited population growth is China, the major beginning to the one-child policy. This population problem in China and a few Asian countries is being fixed by making the law that each couple may only have one child. To some, that may be ridiculous or interference on their personal life, however, it was made for the good of the country and the world. The government may become stricter and make limits and changes in people’s lifestyle, but one thing that they need to understand is that all of those changes have a purpose, to help the country and its people. China is just one example of a country with an overly high population trying to be controlled, however, there are many more and with different problems. Another problem a lot of countries have is a low food supply because either it has hit its carrying capacity or the industry is very scarce. In the country of Iceland, population control is not necessary because they have a very low population. However, the industry (outside of fish) is very low, almost non existent. You may think this may be a problem to the country, but the population is low enough that little industry is okay to have. Iceland and China are two countries that basically have opposite, but just as important, problems. China needs population control and Iceland does not; People in China may dislike their population being limited and controlled, but Iceland may not like having a very small industry and population. As you can see, there are many different problems that may have the same affect or importance to a country. I strongly agree that population control is has been a huge success in China and would have the same affect on other countries. I think the one-child policy is a very successful way to control the population! Even if countries don’t have the problem of having a huge population, they still have problems that need solved with just as much thought and concern. If those problems aren’t fixed they can lead to much larger problems that do require population control. In the future if more countries hit too high of a population then I strongly suggest the problem being fixed with population control. I am a firm believer in population control because if we can’t begin to fix the problems we have created in our world, than we will never be able to survive in the future.
Please think about what I wrote and reply if you have any things to add or any concerns.

Ooops...this was supposed to be attachted to the other, but this goes with it.........I think that your(Tawnee) post was very good and explained your examples extremely well. I think it was good because I really liked the way that you believed so strongly in what she wrote and had a lot of facts and examples to back them all up (China and its policies). A more specific example of something you wrote that I found very well done was, “I think the governments could be a little harsher about food and birth rate. On the other hand, I do not think that all of the nations should combine into one big government.” I really like that because you put two competing facts about the population, but put why each was important in a way that is easy to understand. However, I think that you could have spoken more generally on population control and its effects on a country. For example, you could have talked more in comparison to more countries, aside from China. I have one question, why would government find it scary to combine into one big nation? Also, I don’t quite agree with you on something you posted; I think that maybe combining the government into one big nation would be a positive thing. I think this because if one of the goals for controlling population is making the world overall healthier than bringing the nations together could just as easily result in something positive if everyone worked together for the same goal.

Before I got on here I was expecting to write pretty much what Tawnee and Danica explained. Although I never really thought about the adoption solutions like that. I really agree with all of those statements except for one. I think that the government of one nation could work. I do see where your coming from on how they could take over but I think that if the right people were elected for this council that it could really have an impact on the population. I think that they could make a law like they said and only have one or two kids per family. I also think that the government would make the people aware of the damages that could be caused by population growth before making any changes to the laws. ۫۫I am going to be doing more research on all of the previous topics. I would like to hear what the rest of my group comes up with. So post them anytime! Thanks!
Some action should be taken right away. My first idea is for congress to pass a bill to limit the number of births a family can have. This isn't a particularly strong method because there is no way of ensuring that people will follow, but there are many who will. Another is to alert the areas of the world that are unaware of how bad we are making the earth. It may not go over well with many parts of the world but it needs to be done.
One of my strongest beliefs is educating the people on overpopulaton. Alert the people who are going to be starting families soon and show them what will become of the planet if we keep doing what we are doing. Also, educate them on birth control, such as the practices of sexual abstinence, contraception, and steralization. I don't believe that abortion or infanticide would be a good means of birth control.
Overpopulation is a serious threat to the planet and all of us living on it. These are just some ways that the population can be regulated and kept at a resonable level.
I agree that something needs to be done about the world population. I think that if the world united into one government and the right people were elected into office then that solution could work, but on the contrary to Lucas I don't think women should be given a drug to keep them from having children. I think women should be allowed to make the decision themselves but I also think that we need to give them facts and evidence that shows them that they should only have one or two children. With this said i also believe that the one child per family law does not work. Children are put up for adoption and even killed because of this law in China, the population of China hasn't really slowed down either, people are still having babies and the population is continuing to grow. I agree with Adam and do not think abortion is the way to go, I disagree with it entirely and it goes against what I believe. To be honest I don't know what could be done to control the population because frankly, no one will listen, people are too stubborn and most of the world hates the United States. The only thing that I think can be done at this time is to warn people about overpopulation and hope that they get the message, understand, and try to do something about it. I also think that the United States needs to try to get back on some country's good sides so that maybe they will listen when a time like this comes that something needs to be done.

I don't mean for this to be an insult, but I am noticing that all of the posts look very similar to each other. Anyway, I agree that education of overpopulation is the easist and most effective way to take action at this time. As for the future, to keep down the levels of births, a drug could be developed that could limit the number of births that women could give.
I'm sorry Lucas but, that wasn't a good idea at all. Who's to say this drug injected into women won't give them an allergic reaction and have them die from it? If you want a real change to happen you have to inform people of it, not secretly inject women with a drug. Why can't it be injected into men instead of women or maybe both? It can't just be a one person job to make a baby. There are more peaceful solutions to solving this problem.
I think that coming together as a global community could possibly be the best way to control population growth and over population. I agree with Tawney about the adoption idea. It would make a family's life so much easier to adopt their child that they know might not be able to live a happy and healthy life. Would you rather keep your child knowing that it will live unhappy, unhealthy, or in poverty? I know I would want the best for mine. Also, many people in many countries are beginning to use abortion as a way to get rid of an "accidental pregnancy" but in my opinion, abortion is murder and therefore should not be legal. By coming together as a global community, we can discuss different ideas and come to a midpoint in which most people are satisfied.
[link="http://www.susps.org/overview/numbers.html"]
this link shows the current population growth and immigration rates and how they will increase in the next few years.
I believe we should pass a law or bill saying that each woman is allowed to give birth to two children. If they want to have more, they will have to adopt. If you allow women only to have one child, the majority might have boys. For example, most Chinese familes have boys to pass on the family name. They put the girls up for adoption or abort them which causes an unbalance in the population of females and males.
I don't believe that we should not allow women to have children because it is their choice. I also disagree on sterilizing women with a drug. I am strongly against abortion because it 's wrong to bring a child into this world only to kill them.
On the positive side, I liked the idea of educating and spreading awareness about the population crisis. This will help people understand and be more willing to help. Also by spreading awareness, people will be more likely to make wiser decisions. Educating people on how this affects them, and what they can do to help is important if we plan on lowering the world population growth. It is important for all the countries to work together. We don't have to be one nation. We just have to work together and forget about our differences.
I honestly believe that people should be able to have as many kids as they want, so long as they can prodvide for them. I do however believe that something should be done about the worlds population or else the future generations will be doomed. I liked Tawnee's idea about the adoption, but there simply isn't enough orphans to make a large difference. You see there are many orphans throughout the world but not enough to give all the people that want a child one. And even if they did adopt a child who is to say that they will not have one themselves.
I don't think the idea of ONE government controlling the hole world will work. For starters there are to many political issues between countries such as the United States and Korea, Pakistan, and Venezuala. Second of all it would be to hard for one government to keep control of all the countries of the world unless the declared marshall law. And even then it would still be hard. Last there would be to many cultural clashes with all the countries banding together and also one single country might try to take over the world government which could lead to NUCLEAR WARFARE.
I think that there will never be one total solution to world population control. But it will take many different solutions such as adoption, child laws (China's one child law), an increase in sanitation and states of living and much more to solve our problem of world population control.
If you have any questions or comments please post them and I will try to get back to you.
Austin Weaver
۫.I fully agree with Amy. Luke not to be rude but I think making a drug like that would be crueler than just going around killing people. I think that that law would never pass anyway because I know that I would even be one of the people that would stand against it. I also strongly agree with Austin’s idea about the government as I said before. He makes a lot of good points in his statement and I really like what he is saying. So far I think that our group is doing well, but I think we should come up with more ideas and solutions. I mean there has to be more solutions than what we have posted. So if you have anymore..post them..please!
Tawnee... I dont believe in abortion because it is murder. When mothers get pregnant they have a living person inside of them, and then they kill it. I believe that is totally wrong and should be against the law. I think your comment about killing people is slightly off the wall too... who would we kill??? Are you just going to pick a nation or race that you don't like and start killing them? I don't mean this in a rude way but seriously... it just doesn't make sense to kill people to lower the population. Please get back to me if you have any more questions.
I think that controling populations is very important to get undercontrol. I think that food should be equally spread out to all people. This would solve two problems, obesity and starvation. In places like the United States you see obesity as a major promblem, but places such as Africa are faced with starvation. To stop this problem I think all people should get healthy food to help them live better and longer. I agree with Tawnee about adoption, it is a good solution to population control. I think killing people to control a population is a horrible solution and should never be used or even thought about. An idea for population solutions is that for countries that are having a big problem with over population they could send some of the population to a place not highly populated to spread people. As for the population control in China and only having one child i disagree. Yes it does help control the population but you should be able to decide how many children you want, and if you have more than one child you should not have to give your own child away if you would want to keep it.
I agree with Tawnee about abortion isn't necesarily a bad thing. If that childs mom is like ten years old what kind of life would that kid have? I think killing is completly wrong, but in this case you are saving this kid from a bad life if it is not wanted.

ATTENTION!!!! Guys I am so so so sorry. I meant to put adoption, not abortion in those last paragraphs!! I am so sorry for the misunderstanding! I want you all to ignore those paragraphs i wrote if you read them but I am going to delete them! But I would still like to know if Tyler and Adam like the adoption idea? thanks..and sorry!

I disagree with the idea of abortion. Why kill a child if you could put it up for adoption, so that another family could adopt it and raise it properly.
Megan... i would like to point some more things out on abortion. I believe that abortion is murder and is totally wrong. A girl gets pregnant and has a living person inside of them, and then they kill it. Where do we draw the line? When is it murder or not? And I understand that sometimes ten year old girls get pregnant, but that is what adoption agencies were made for. You yourself said that you think killing is completely wrong, so what do you think abortion is? I have one final question, Would it bother us more if they used Guns?

i'm pro-choice, thats my opinion. in some cases it is safer to abort a child than have a child. abortion has many misconceptions that people dont even consider. there are many reason's why people want abortions, not just because they don't want the baby, in most cases this isn't true at all. most people abort the baby if there is a possibility of complications or risk of the mother harming herself as well as the child. another main reason for abortion is if the mother was raped. also, if the fetus is dead before you're ready to give birth, why go through all that pain if you know at 2 months through your pregnancy that the baby is dead.

I strongly agree with everything austin said above. He made some very good points that I would stand beside. If 2 parents have a way to provide for each child in their family, they should be able to have as many as they want. I also agree that adoption would be a great idea except for the fact that not everyone could adopt and I don't think it would resolve our problem. Also, although I think it's wrong, abortion may be what it could come to. The way I see it, it's not murder unless the baby is actually born and it would definitely cut down births in our country and all over the world for that matter. Please give me some feedback. . . .

Tawnee, I completely disagree with your beliefs that you think abortion is OK! I believe that if a woman is pregnant it is her own fault for getting pregnant unless she was forced. She could always have a baby and then put it up for adoption.
I also think that your comment above about a ten year old having a baby is completely IRRELEVANT due to the fact I'm almost positive a ten year old girl couldn't have a baby.
Okay looking over these comments and replies some are good and some are just down right terrible.. I think Tawnee did a good job starting this and you all did a good job voicing your ideas but i don't think your thinking of the world's choices. To start, Lucas' comment can picked apart every which way first it's sexist to make only women to get drugged so that leads to problems than making them get the drug?..... Making them i want you to tell a couple how many children they want than think of all the couples on the earth... nice try. Last one the birth drug is side effects a drug like this is bounded to create infection and sickness. In my opinion it would do more harm than good. Next the abortion topic. hey as much as i hate to say it it needs to be done. It would control the population in developing countries I think since in most of the areas they do nothing but have 8-14 kids. we never know though since most of them die. we need inform the people of the world as well as use abortion but only in the very high birth rate areas. The adoption thing tawnee I think actually is a decent idea. Now on to what comments really made me mad tyler every one hates the US? No It's that we have earned the right of where we are in the worlds economy and they haven't and think about this what race of people are in the far east? Asians. Northern Africa? Africans. South America? People of Spanish desent mostly no has to deal with what we have to here race wise.I hate when they say how bad the US is. If its so bad MOVE. and Megan 10 years old with kids.....not going ot happen try 13-15 at the youngest. thats all i have to say
I agree with some of Ians' comments but not about abortion. I do believe a lot of people hate the U.S. If you live in the U.S. you should be proud to live here because of all the freedoms and liberties you have. As I said before I believe their is no one answer but rather many small pieces that could fit together to make the puzzle

I disagree with you, Zak, because I still consider abortion murder. You're taking away the child's life, and that's what murder is - taking away a life. And technically, the child IS alive, just not in this world (technically speaking). We don't really need abortion if women would make smart decisions and not have the baby if they don't want it. I believe it's their own fault that they're pregnant unless they got pregnant against their own will (rape). Even if they didn't want it, they could always put it up for adoption. Adoption wouldn't solve the problem entirely, but it would definitely help.

Okay guys. Once again I want you to know that I totally agree with most of you in that abortion is wrong. And once again I want you to know that that was all a typo..I didn't mean to cause problems. But right now, after doing much research, I have noticed that without being brutal we don't have many options. I know i have said this a thousand times but I truly believe that right now abortion could be our best option! I mean think about it, if we can at least get people ready for what is going to come, why don't we? I think that was Luke said is one of the most brutal things I have heard. Also, although I think that abortion is completely wrong, I think that we can't force people to have abortions because that's extremley brutal too. I think that right now it is possibly a good thing that they passed the law about abortion. If they hadn't, our population would be much higher.
So far I think we have a lot of good and bad solutions so unless you find anymore good ones, I think we should start to think of one of the best, most possible ideas. Let me know what you think and I also think we are doing really well with the discussions..keep it up!
Sorry, but i don't think that abortions or secretly injecting drugs into women is right, morally and politically. The government can't just sneak in ways to get what the country needs, the people need to be informed on the ideas and have an equal say in what affects their own lives too. I think that a more rational decision would be to make the whole country a part of these major decisions, but also get the job done. That way it's a win-win situation for the government and its people.

I completely agree with Danica about the abortion issue but, now we need to try to compose a list or something of all the options we have that are REALISTIC. We can get off the subject of abortion even though it is an option and start talking about other options!
I completely agree what Austin is saying! I think we need to get off the abortion subject, even though it could be a solution, I think that more reasonable things need to be brought up. I say we make a pool? If your for it. post it and let me know.
Group, I just googled for more solutions and I saw a statement made in 2001 that obviously hasn't come into effect yet.
Okay well it says that if we would stop coming up with cures for diseases it would also incredibly help. I can see this being a slight problem to some families but if you think about it unless it is kids who are young that we are trying to cure. Why not? Think about it..there are over a million people diagnosed with cancer and the number of survivors has gone up because of chemo therapy. If we only gave chemo to the young kids and not the older people it could actually have a huge impact. And not even for just cancer but many of the other popular diseases out there.
So let me know what you think of this idea.
I agree with Tawnee that adoption is a good thing and may help tremendously but as Austin stated earlier there are not enough children for all the families that want to have kids. Also, what is to stop the families who have adopted kids to have children of their own? Adoption might work, or it might not.
Tawnee are you saying that we should let people with diseases die??? Because if you are then you have definitely never been effected by someone who has one, it is a terrible thing to go through not only for the person with the problem but also their family. I think that is an insane idea, would you feel that way if you had cancer? "oh its okay if i die then at least the world population will be controlled, don't give me chemo"??!!
I definitely agree with the adoption idea, if children are born into a poor or underpriviledged family then they could be put up for adoption and adopted by a family that could support them.
And once again I COMPLETELY disagree with the abortion idea.
Dude Ian i'm not saying that everyone hates the US because we're rich, they hate us because of all the stupid things we do. like invading other countries just to show off our muscles and how we could take the world if we wanted to. this has happened in history many many times, a nation gets a little too much power going to its head... it starts thinking its number one... other people get mad.. and they take us out. and it could happen, were you alive on 9/11? they didn't attack us because we were rich, it was because they hate us and their religion teaches them to hate us and kill us so they can go to heaven. And besides the muslims, other nations hate us just because we're getting a little to big for our pants. We think we're tough stuff, which there is no doubt in my mind that we are. I mean, we have the most amazing military in the world, but i think we need to be a little more modest and stop pushing countries around.
I understand where you are coming from Tyler but like seriously. The world needs something and I realize that its hard, but if they are old enough that they are going to die of pretty much old age anyway. It would at least help. And I think that this is just another way or idea. It was just an idea? I'm researching, thinking, and writing. sorry.
Okay I think i've got one, we need to educate people so that they can get jobs. If people are working then they don't have as many children. Populations in poor countries have many children so that the children can support their parents during old age. If people have better jobs and are taught to save money, then they can retire at an old age and not need their children to support them. In response to this, people will have less children, which in turn, will lower the population. If a country cannot afford to build schools to educate its people, well, we're the richest nation in the world. We could help them out.

I agree with Tylers' theory about education. If we can educate more people, they will be able to get better jobs which could bring in more income into their family which would effect the families overall health and state or living.
But the question is, How do we do this? The United States can't just take everything into their own hands. Other wealthy countries must send money, doctors, educators, and contractors. But we could send representatives that are trained in education, and medical to help organize while money and other countries can be banded together to help form a global "help team."

Okay i understand what you're saying. Kind of. but if they are going to die of old age anyway then why not give them a few more years to love life??

I agree with Austin, his idea also goes along with the one government that controls the world population too. If we could organize a group of specialists to take education and medicine to the world we would be good to go. I think another way is to improve life expectancy. If people are living longer then they will have less children. Other countries have awesome medical abilities as well as being extremely high on the educational scale. Germany has the best schools in the entire world. Northern European countries such as Sweden and the Netherlands have amazing medical programs. If we all just banded together with one purpose, to help the world, then soooo much could be accomplished. We could work together to educate the world and improve life expectancy and it would have a HUGE impact on the world's populations.

And besides the muslims, other nations hate us just because we're getting a little to big for our pants. We think we're tough stuff, which there is no doubt in my mind that we are. I mean, we have the most amazing military in the world, but i think we need to be a little more modest and stop pushing countries around.
Tyler, I disagree with you on the certain issues such as we were wrong to go into Iraq and other wars which you did not mention. We have a military hospital in Germany, even though in WWII we were arch enemies, after the war they became our allies. Even though are allies don't agree with some of the choices are countries leaders make I still believe we went into Iraq and Afghanistan because those countries were a threat to the National Security
Austin, I'm not saying that we shouldn't have invaded Afganistan and Iraq. I agree totally with what we did and i think we did the right thing. but in other cases, I think we invaded countries just to throw our weight around and show the world what we could do. So I agree with you that it needed to be done. but i think that in some cases it was unnecessary.
Guys overlooking all this stuff i kinda get the feelin that we have a good group and you have strong ideas and no matter what stick with them don't be change your minds..... our group looks good guys it really does. Now I have to say maybe my last words on this ....... no mater what choices we make we have to realize that there will be down fall in order to control the population there will be death,there will be revolt, famine, suffrage, and human suffering all we can do is deduct the amount of tragedy we have to agree at some point and come together to agree or the world would suffer so argue but we have to come to concussions asap.
I totally agree with Ian. Even though I think we should come to Conclusions asap. Not concussions. haha
I fully agree with Austin and all of his ideas. However i do not agree with the idea of abortion. i know that some families have way too many children and can't take care of them all, but everyone deserves to live. And also, i do not agree with Lucas about making a drug that wouldn't be a good idea at all. I don't think that the government, or even that many people would agree with the idea of that kind of drug. But group, we are doing pretty good. We have a lot of good ideas that just might work. keep posting!!

I don't think the idea of ONE government controlling the hole world will work. For starters there are to many political issues between countries such as the United States and Korea, Pakistan, and Venezuala. Second of all it would be to hard for one government to keep control of all the countries of the world unless the declared marshall law. And even then it would still be hard. Last there would be to many cultural clashes with all the countries banding together and also one single country might try to take over the world government which could lead to NUCLEAR WARFARE.

Austin wrote this and i agree but we, the whole world, have to come together . This is very critical if it does not happen we are in even bigger trouble. We have to have unification somewhere, maybe not government, but some where ....... I personal think we need to start limiting global resources and let the weak die.... I hate saying that but that will limit the population and decrease size possibly..... Tawnee I love the idea of adopting but I think only international adoption like Africans adopt African babies. i just thought of this because than it also goes with the my survival of the fittest idea, let the weak die. If adoption happens in only seprate areas than the amount of area, homes, and families determines who gets adopted and who.... well dies... also with the abortion I think after the first organs ( heart, brains,lungs, etc.) develop it shouldn't me allowed....... and Adam I'm sorry I miss spelled that hahaha we all make mistakes.... keep replying guys...
I see most of you have wanted to come up with conclusions for the ideas we have come up with. I completely think we should at least start out with the adoption solution. I know this might not work for a long period of time but it could at least get us prepared for the harshness of the future. Finish posting tonight guys. We need something we all MOSTLY agree on.Thanks
group! I know we have ALOT of disagreements on here but if not everyone gets on tonight we can't come up with a conclusion.. but anyway I just want you all to know that I am satisfied with all the ideas we have come up with. We came up with good and bad and I think that we have recognized the most possible and the most reasonable Ideas. Good job guys! I think we had a great discussion board!
