High Birth Population

Over the past years, there has been an exceptionally large national increase which has caused several population issues. These issues include: homelessness, deforestation and more fields being used to make space for shops and houses disrupting the biodiversity growth. Problems like this are caused when there is an abnormal increase in the birth rate where more babies are born; this is also known as a ‘baby boom’. This can occur when nations have more children as a whole and events like this normally takes place after an achievement – an example being when we won the World War Two. The country was relieved that the fighting was over so their instantly celebrated which is why more children were born. In the last 50 years alone, the population has doubled showing just how fast the population is actually growing and even though it may seem fortunate that there are less recorded deaths, this makes the Economical

Have you ever wanted a child? For those that are not dealing with pregnancy, this is a very simple question, that can be answered with only a, “Yeah, having one wold be neat in the future,” or, “No thanks, I don’t really like kids,” But what about those that are pregnant? Having this question of whether or not someone truly wants a child or not can be very complicated for those that maybe aren’t financially stable, have been sexually assaulted and the child is a result of that, or maybe, its just that the person isn’t ready. For those that are not equipped for such a task of responsibility, what would they do? There are several possible options that could be done for those that do not want to have children, or for those that are pregnant but

Once a person has a baby that doesn't guarantee that the baby will live. With better technology we have birth control methods and abortions for people who don't have babies. People who do want to have babies have the risk of the baby dying from disease. "Millions of babies have died, a fraction from AIDS, more from malaria, pneumonia, even measles. More millions have been aborted." So people are having less children at higher ages combined with the fact that the baby can die from disease. That can dramatically lower the birth rate and it has because instead of the predicted 12 billion by 2050 only 9 billion is expected by 2050. That's means in a few decades 3 billion

Through the use of personal anecdotes, McKibben argues that adults today should not be pressured to have a large family or create the stigma of an only child being a spoiled brat. He begins his essay with a trip to the doctor's office in which he is thrown an abundance of questions about the circumstances of having more children, for example, “Would more children be in your picture now if your financial circumstances improved significantly?” (119). By the use of these various personal anecdotes, this supports his argument of plausible reasons why adults decide not to have children and why it is better to have a few. Adults in the 21st century are just too busy, are career focused, or are simply not ready to take that route. He emphasizes that

The increased morbidity, mortality, and cost of pregnancy outcome in the United States is strongly correlated with low birth weight infants. The two main reasons for infants being born with low-birth-weight is due to preterm delivery (birth before 37 weeks of pregnancy) and intrauterine growth restriction (Goldenberg & Culhane, 2007). Babies that are born way earlier before their full term have lower birth weight. In the United States, about 1 in 10 babies is born premature and 7 out of 10 of these preterm babies are of low birth weight (March of Dimes, 2014). According to the World Health organization, the global prevalence of neonatal deaths as a result of low birth weight is about 60%-80%. Babies that are born with a low birth weight have

Even though America does not discourage females from getting pregnant since children are the future, it has become a problem. Most Hispanic families get as large as having five children or more. In the past this was acceptable and maybe even encouraged since we had the land, and necessary resources to provide for all of these children. It is not only the fact that these children are dependent on their parents until a certain age, but there were also the land and resources, meaning jobs, given to the parents so that they could provide for all of their children. Those times are behind us because now the resources are becoming scarce. For example, our land is becoming more concrete than grass or sand, instead of being able to enjoy a walk in an open field, we have gotten used to enjoying the big flashy lights from cities that built on top of those fields. The weather is becoming a mystery to everyone since the climate is changing in unpredictable ways by the fact that we are destroying, and changing the environment in all of the parts of the world. We are slowly destroying our ozone layer by having extreme amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This is because all of the cars assembles run on natural fuel. Coming to our situation at hand so many cars are being driven because there are so many humans alive that need transportation. Overpopulation also came with the fact

Another thing that countries could try in order to decrease the overpopulation is increase the focus they put on their women. Developing countries tend to have higher rates in childbirth the ration to parents to kids are higher. The more children that people have the more children that can go to work , bring in money or cook and clean around the household. Women and girls in these countries have little to no education. They have to stay at home and raise their children or help out with brothers and sisters.Women that live in countries like the United States and Canada have low birth rates and tend to wait until they are older to have children if they have any.These women are bought up to go to school and then further their education.After

The author presents concentrated statistical facts from the 2006 U.S census which showed the level of child free individuals was 18.8 percent, double the 1976 U.S census. However, in the past three decades’ women in their low to mid-forties (40-44) that have no children per the 2010 census bureau has doubled to 18.8 percent. Research has also conformed to five categories for different types of childless women they are the following: Hedonist, Emotional, Idealistic, and Practical. She further states that this not just confined to the United States but a global event. For instance, a study of women in Australia showed that 1 out of 5 chose not to have children. The author points out that the child free movement is not solely isolated to women, but men also. For instance, she uses celebrities such as Jay Leno, Dr. Seuss, Steve Martin, and Stockard Channing who all have no children. The author goes on to state that from the research that was conducted that many men feel there is too much to lose being a

In my opinion, this trend reflects a combination of medical advances, technology, and ideals and values of the new “Me generation”; in which, people are choosing career and self-fulfillment before family. Once we have done all we want to do and seen all we want to see; we can begin to consider whether or not we would like to have children.

Since having a baby deprives a mother of a future of value in some cases,

In Johnathan Last’s book What to Expect When No One’s Expecting, he address the growing problem of people who are no longer wanting having children. He believes this is problem because, as the number of births go down, our replacement rate is not matching up. Last discusses how the drop in fertility has been happening for many years in America. In the 1800’s, the average woman was having 7.04 surviving children in her lifetime, now an American woman is only having 1.87 children. Last is trying to convince

Wanting to be a parent and having children one day proves a likely inheritable natural instinct to humans. Growing up, little girls play with baby dolls acting as a mother to their doll “babies.” Seeing babies in pubic makes people want to have one of his or her own baby. Centuries ago, if someone could not conceive or bear a child, he or she had no choice other than to remain childless. Fortunately, in the late 1900’s, scientists discovered a way for people to have children with an individual’s own genetics; however, the biological parent does not need to carry or give birth to the baby. Surrogacy allows a person to transfer an

This is refuted, however, by those who say that having children is our sole purpose, no matter the consequence. The consequences are often the physical status of the mother and environment. It is not an attack on mothers, nor is it an attack upon women who desperately want children, but have no physical means to give that life. I chose this path to lessen my environmental impact. The resources I do not use in rearing a child gives resources to another to be used. My choice resides in my own less-than-savory genetic makeup, and my economic status. I personally find it cruel to give life to an infant that has a high chance to be critically disabled. This also goes along with the volatile world I will transition into later in life. It is not selfish to give this gift of conservation, nor is it harmful to my own wellbeing. In fact, with my phobia of being pregnant and unsteady self-image, a baby could send me into post-partum depression. I will not lose myself in insanity and tear myself apart from depression over wanting a baby. I am self-assured in my deduction of my own personal

The one-child policy is what impacts fertility rates to drop down. China's population is 1.3 billion (WHO).This huge population is a hard reality China has to face even if it has placed population growth under effective control. China's population will continue to grow without a policy bringing pressure on resources and environment. This will lead to greater needs on resources. The huge population that lives in poverty will also increase and live with difficulties.

First and foremost, the high birth rate in India is the main root of the overpopulation. The high fertility rate is due to the impecunious of the country. To counter this, the nations give birth to more children, hoping that there will be more income resources. Besides, the people count upon that the survivability of their children is low and thus they keep producing more children. Moreover, most of
