Population Control

For this bi-weekly blog we have to write about how past societies have controled the size of their population. The only country I can think of right off the bat is China. China established a law saying that a couple can only have I belive 1 child. Unfourntaly this has also lead to people killing female children when they wanted a male child. I'm sure small countries like Japan have something similar to, but its not an official law.
This post is harder for me, cause I can't think of anything that wouldn't be humane and impeaching on the rights of people. But If I had to find a way to control the population growth. I would probally make it so that a couple could only have 2 children, anymore would be sent to an adoption agency. This is so that the couple don't have to worry about things like gender. Also 2 children is a nice average amount and could be supported on a nice salary. The adoption is for people who can't have children of their own. To carry it out I would have all couples fill out paper work for each child, that way the government knows how many children everyone has.

Reflection:

These past 2 weeks have been pretty tiring. For one thing the fine arts section of Anderson, which includes the orchestra, band, and choir, all went to Colorado for a music festival. The orchestra won best in class in the 5A catagorey. We also went skiing it was fun, but the worst part was the bus ride there. We probally spent more time in the bus than at the resort. We also got our report cards this weekend. Taks is next week, not looking forward to it though.
