Actually, I should say that I might not understand the question very well. But I think it is asking that, according to the information, why we can still be optimistic about the population problem in the future? Am I right?
Well, in my own opinion, this expression is not true and I don’t think that this problem can be solved so soon. Because there are so many countries in the world that their people do not aware of the family planning or this kind of stuff and they are still superstitious. It takes so more than that we think, in order to inform those people and after that convince them to accept the fact. Do not conceder Canada, US or Europe. So I do not feel optimistic.
But according to the information, we saw in the video that in India and Kenya, after applying the family planning and informing people, the average of children per woman is decreased to 3-4. Or in China, Japan and US we are not facing this problem any more. So that makes some people to be optimistic about the future.

Sound reasoning. Certainly, the problem in places like Africa is very difficult and optimism about economic prosepcts is needed before optimism about family planning can make progress. I think the interesting question is what the threshhold is after which the prevailing thoughts do start to shift. Just some food for thought!

Hi Ayrin,
Nice reflection on the topic. Perhaps people don't understand the whole idea of overpopulation is because the way the data has been presented. As we saw in the mid-term, overpopulation and population density need to be defined in clearer language. Maybe if that would happen, people would send more aid and take the problem more seriously.
