The individual

Even, the overpopulation or the underpopulation can be a problem. People want
privacy, so they decide to live alone in a house, or they want a big family, but they
can’t live their lives in small flats, both are problems. One of my acquaintances said
that the number of your children is inversely proportional to your living standards. I
see the point in her words, because when you have a child, you may give everything he
or she could need, but if you have two children, you split your money into two, and
now you can’t afford every need of your family. Even the ancient Greek people knew
these disadvantages, that’s why they didn’t have so many children.
And in the not so wealthy families, they try to help each other and to find the other’s
company, so they start to move closer to each other. This may be the beginning of a
slum. And even if you were born into a place like this, you can try to do your best, to
learn and work as hard as you can, as long as they see your address on your papers.
You won’t get the best jobs, because the employers would give the jobs for somebody
else who may be less clever and intelligent, but can show a better living environment. I
am conscious of this problem, because I live in Kőszárhegy and when I apply for a job
employers prefer somebody else who is resident.
Even in China, the overpopulations has a very important role in the Chinese families’
lives. They are supposed to have only one child, because the Chinese society grows
bigger and bigger each minute, until not just the government, but the Earth can’t
provide enough things for their needs. That’s why the families with one child can get
supplies and different aids and bill reductions. Parents with two children are supposed
to pay everything and they don’t get anything from the government. In families with
more children, from the third kid they can’t even go to school and get educated. This is
how the government tries to stop or at least reduce a bit the Chinese overpopulation
problems.
All in all, people should solve the social, integration and acceptance problems, before
starting with the individual’s problems.
