GROUP DISCUSSION
“Family planning should be made compulsory in India”
1. India, which is already facing the problem of overpopulation, will be vastly benefited, as family planning will help tremendously to curb the population growth. With lesser population to look after, the standards of living will improve. Thus the future generation will be well educated and well nourished.
2. Also, the larger the population, the greater is the pressure on the country’s environment, disturbing its natural life cycle. Population reduced by family planning will help to sustain the environment.
3. Financial resources can be diverted to other spheres of national progress, rather than being used up in coping with the ills of spiraling population growth.
1. Implementation of family planning will encourage unethical practices like abortion that are quite unacceptable in India, majority of whose population is orthodox and superstitious. Child being considered a gift of God, implementation of family planning will face not only hurdles but also a lot of resistance.
2. Premature death of the single child of a family will cease its lineage. Parents will be at a complete loss, both financially and emotionally in their old age.
3. Scientists have proved that marriages in very close relations lead to birth of unhealthy or abnormal children. Traditional in-caste marriages will be restricted to a few single children after a couple of generations of compulsory family planning, thus, leading to the birth of many an abnormal child, due to genetic inbreeding.
4. Compulsory family planning will give rise to more nuclear families. The future generation will drift away from their ancestors, losing the traditional Indian family bonding and security of a joint family.
“Government should fund elections. ”
1. The root cause of corruption in our polity is the nature of elections that periodically take place. Elections are costly affairs requiring huge sums of money to contest. Political parties

    If people where to think about consequences then there would be enough room, food and opportunity for everyone in the world. Many Christians, who are keen to reduce the suffering and distress which will result from overpopulation, will agree that they have a duty to plan their families, think about others and set an example rather than openly promote contraception. They may not however use artificial forms of contraception themselves and would not commend them to others since some are considered to break a moral law.…

    The Population Bomb a theory developed by Paul Ehrlich in the 1960’s predicted that in less than two decades the overpopulation of the world would not be able to sustain itself leading to mass starvation and deaths. To achieve a more balanced carrying capacity he argued that population control at the family level would be necessary for society to continue to function. This type of thinking led to the implementation of population control programs, such as female sterilization that was forced upon women in undeveloped countries. Its 2016 and Ehrlich’s prediction did not come true still, continued global population growth along with increasing global climate change has once again ignited the debate on advocacy for population control.…

    According to the author, there are two main reasons why sexual disparity is widespread. First of all, the marked cultural preference for sons are significant, although not in all traditional societies. In some 'old-fashioned' societies, where the girl is deemed to join her husband’s family on marriage and lost to her parents, parents prefer to have male children, to guarantee care in their older years. The sexual disparities also tend to rise with income and education. It seems to be the case, in parts of India, that richer, and well educated families, tend to have smaller families. However, they feel more pressured to bear a son to whom the family name and wealth can be carried on through. Secondly, the spread of fetal-imaging technology and significant drop of ultrasound scan cost encourage the use of sex selection abortions. Although this type of abortion is lawfully banned, it is almost impossible to prove that an abortion has been carried out for reasons of sex selection. Therefore, there is no effective regulations to stop this behaviour.…

    Currently, in the UK, the family is a fairly unregulated sphere of life, compared with different societies such as China. Laws and social policies in Britain today tend to encourage or discourage certain types of families, rather than actively enforcing them like China’s one child policy. Government agencies and institutions only seem to take an active role on policing areas of family life when things are perceived to have gone wrong, such as regulating the fair distribution of assets following the breakdown of a marriage.…

    If follows that if the cost of living and the cost of having children limits family size, then government policies towards taxation and family welfare are also significant influences on how many children a couple will have. Such government policies generally include family planning programmes, financial incentives to control/increase family size, and the provision of health care facilities. Governments can adopt one of three attitudes or sets of policies with respect to their population: a pr-natal view, by which an increase in fertility is promoted, an anti-natal view, by which a decrease in fertility is promoted or a neutral view which is indifferent about population growth or decline.…

    With the industrial revolution came advances in agriculture and industry that provided a way for individual families to be able to afford more children. Increases in our knowledge about nutrition and medicine helped us to have more healthy babies. When women take care of their bodies better, they are more fertile and therefore can have more children. With cures for fatal diseases including antibiotics and vaccines, these children are also able to live longer. There has been an increase in fertility due to a number of factors including a reduction in the average age at which menarche occurs and an increase in the number of menstrual cycles a woman has in her lifetime. The human populations in different regions grew or declined in response to birth, death, migration, and disease. It is estimated that the world population will be at or above 9 billion people. We must really begin to take control of how many people live on this earth. If we’re not careful, earth’s resources will be will be gone. People as a whole must put forth our best effort in trying to maintain balance between us and earth.…
