ABOUT POPULATION...

The population growth is a real problem actually, and a lot of people don't think about that. In fact, the population is still growing, and in some countries, the governments don't succeed to manage it. In China, for instance, government has instaured the "one child policy", letting to the country to be able to breath !! Because of the big amount of population, some pessimistic people talk about the "over crowded", leading some problems in te world, such as famine.. In Africa too, where the desease of HIV AIDS is a real real problem !! In this continent, the popultation keep growing but the middle age has desappear because of the desease, letting the place for young people and few eldery people saved from the AIDS...

Paradoxally to this growth, some country are decreasing in population, having a old population and few children.. For my country, France, with a population of about 60 million of inhabitants, I don't think that we are really concernered about this problem of population growth, inside the country .. I mean that in my country, they should encourage people to have children instead of preventing them.. This unit was very interesting and especially one idea during the video, which was that nowadays in some of the countries, governments keep focusing on the fact to protect ourself with all the contraception staff (and spend a lot of money for it ), instead of encourage people to have children..
