Population (post discussion)

The video and articles we've read within these two days impressed me a lot. I have never had oppotunities to learn about such a global topic in an intensive manner like this. I understood that the situation regarding population quite differs in each part of the world. Especially, the life of women in subSaharan African states looks so helpless, trapped in a vicious cycle. Why do they have to endure such a condition? What are the statesmen in those countries doing?

I think people are unhappiness with their life because of different country situation. Some countries are not rich; this only does not mean money. Some countries are lack goods for trade, such oil, coal or golden. So they are low trade with other countries. In addition, rain is not average in anywhere. So some counties do not have enough irrigation systems for growing crops. People are sharing limit goods, food and water. So one more children can not get more new food and water to share, they share form something always had. Sometimes, people do not think too much when they have babies. They just want to more babies to look like stronger (people think more people in the family mean their family are stronger than other family).
