SLC-S29/W3-“Thinking and Ideas!| Seeing Problems Differently!””

Hello my friends,

Seeing Problems Differently!””

Identify an everyday problem in your community or country and suggest some steps to solve it.

My country is a country with a huge population; according to the 2026 estimates, the population has reached 1.45 billion. Therefore, this increasing population growth and the resulting increase in poverty and unemployment have become everyday problems in my country.

There are many ways to prevent this, but until the public itself becomes aware, there will be no solution. In my opinion, for the bright future of our country and for the well-being of our families, we ourselves must cooperate in controlling the population.

One of the many ways to do this is to create government regulations to increase the age of marriage in society and to strictly enforce them. Family planning methods such as condoms, female contraceptives, and male/female sterilization should be promoted to control family size, or strict laws should be enacted for this purpose.

Some religious and social groups in our society do not want to follow any rules or regulations, and they continue to increase the number of children in their families. In my opinion, the government should enact a two-child policy to control the growing population and should impose financial penalties or curtail the rights of families who have more than two children.

Why do you think this problem still exists despite so many people noticing it?

As I mentioned above, some ignorant and stubborn people in our country, or rather in all countries, are responsible for exacerbating the problems of their own country instead of paying attention to them. Similarly, a large section of society in my country does not want to follow any rules or regulations of the country.

They believe that if they continue to increase the population in this way, they will rule or dominate the world. However, on the contrary, by increasing the population in this way, their own families are struggling with poverty, unemployment, and problems related to housing, food, and education.

But due to ignorance, stubbornness, and illiteracy, they are slowly making their lives miserable. In your opinion,

what is the most misunderstood aspect of this problem?

In my opinion, this problem is the root cause of economic inequality, poverty, unemployment, and rising crime rates across the country, including an increase in crimes against women, growing inequality, and an increase in violent tendencies and intolerance in society.

This problem will continue to worsen until the government enacts strict laws to address it. However, I also believe that if some large social service organizations step forward and educate people with such tendencies, we might see some positive change.

If you could change one mindset related to this issue, what would it be?

I don't have any authority, but if people would listen to me, I would explain to them that a small family is always happier and more prosperous because there is no shortage of resources.

In large families, children often lack basic necessities like adequate living space, education, and food. Therefore, I would simply advise them to focus on improving their present circumstances and not fantasize about a distant future. If they change this mindset, it will benefit them personally, as well as society and the country as a whole.

I myself kept my family small and had only one son. My home has all the necessary comforts and amenities.
