Population

Accordiong to the video and reading of population, I learn that population growth create huge problems to our society and our live.
Overpopulation make lack of space. For example, people do not have place to live, and we do not have enough space for argriculture. Moreover, lack of food. limited resourse increase requirement pressure. As a result, in some developing countries, food price will be increased~~~Also, overpopulation create environmental problems, such as, loss of species, soil shrink, and polution. More and more new births order more resourses, and when they grow up, they also require more job....
Aging of population is another huge problem. In some rich countries, the growth of new births are almost zero! Few young people can not support huge retirement! Consequently, economy will derease by not enough young people.
In my opinion, I am not optimistic about the future in term of population. This is so complex question. Sometimes, it depends on individuals. We can control one family only can have 1 or 2 children, but we can not limit each family must have at least 1 child....Also, sometimes, we do not have chiose. Lack of education for women make them do not know how to make choise about their children. I think government should limit their law, and increase education. This issue need whole world connect together to against! Unfortunately, it is difficult to do that because developed countries can not really help developing countries, may be because of "country selfish"

I totally agree with you...
Especially for China...the population can not be imaged....do not think so? Now the economy is developing fast in China, so many families do not care how many children they have. they just think about themselves.
Is it selfish?

Are you alright in almost all of yours observations, but from my point of view, we could be more optimistic, in order to find some possible solutions for that important issue.
