The questionnaire consists questions regarding relationships and children. I distribute them to the class and my roommates. It was not that surprising that the results were evenly distributed among the answers as people have different experiences that shape on how they think about relationships. Most of us in class are not married yet so the topic of children is still not that inclined in their lives.
In the topic of birth and children, I asked my parents, my parent’s friend, and my friend’s parents. Most of them are in their 40’s or 50’s now. They prefer to have two children as it is the perfect family image. Three children are sometimes hard for those in the middle class family as it is financially an extra head to feed. My grandparents had eleven siblings and it was hard to eat.
For the people getting married, they have ideas of having children. People who lived in Singapore, China, and Korea wants a child but no more than one as it is hard for them to take care with their busy lives. Couples are encouraged to have children but most of them decline and focus on their careers. According to BBC news, “Singapore is facing the challenge of an aging population and low birth rates, so its government is actively encouraging young citizens to get on with starting a family.”

Sal Khan, the founder of Khan Academy believed that intelligence is not fixed rather build up. It is not our blood, but we can make them like us. They would have a bigger appreciation towards us as they feel that someone is willing to take care of them and provide them in their lives. There is also an option to try to have the baby through other people’s uterus of their uterus is not strong enough to conceive the baby, like embryo transfer. The baby would still have the genes from the partners just how they deliver the baby is different.
As adults, we need to be prepared to take care of our family, so if we are financially lacking, we have to work hard to have sufficient wealth. Not just for our family, also for us to have a good life. It is important for us to be able to stand on our own feet before having extra responsibilities. A lot of people think too much of themselves, on their happiness forgetting that we are here to populate the

    so I will have to balance those two things in the future. Another logical reason a man or woman would not want to have a child is because they believe the world could overpopulate or is too dangerous to bring a child into. I do not believe that the world will overpopulate and run out of resources for a very long time, but others are entitled to their…

    My economics teacher once told me a revised version of an old cliche. “Money doesn’t buy happiness, but it can provide security, which can help protect your happiness.” This is true, to a large extent. Happiness in life stems from one’s relationships with people and experiences, something that wealth will not provide. That said, having enough in the bank to not have to worry and stress about paying bills and basic expenses will go a long way in terms of reducing anxiety and allowing time to find a true source of happiness.…

    Personally, I know my parents were not sure if they wanted to have children and after I was born they decided to have a second child just to keep me company. Though I love my brother I do not think having a sibling was crucial in my upbringing and we live in a special time where you cannot have multiple children based solely on the belief that “two is better than one”. Because our population demands so many resources parents should consider that having one child could help the planet and future…

    Rapid population growth has been a major problem for China. To cope with this problem, China’s government started the “One-Child Policy” in 1979 with an aim to prevent an overpopulation disaster and to put an end to this problem.

    Contrary to the popular belief that money can’t buy happiness, money does in fact contribute to happiness. First, researchers have found that wealthier nations reported overall higher life satisfaction than poorer nations. Psychologists Ed Diener and Robert Biswas-Diener present evidence showing that “the correlation between income and happiness is .82,” revealing that the two are obviously linked (163). Also, money undeniably allows people to satisfy their basic needs, which is imperative to attaining happiness. Although we often take our security for granted, living with a lack of money would adversely affect our current lives.…

    New immigrants to Canada are much more likely to have babies than their native-born counterparts. Immigrant women who have spent five years in Canada “have almost twice as many children of pre-school age (as) the average Canadian-born woman,” according to an extensive study by two noted economists. The University of Waterloo’s Ana Ferrer and Princeton University’s Alicia Adsera pored over two decades of Statistics Canada census data to reach their conclusion. There are major birthrate differences depending on newcomers’ country of origin: The women who have the highest birthrates tend to be from Africa, Pakistan and India.…

    First and foremost, people can’t control whether or not they are born into a wealthy family. If you have money, great. If you don’t, that’s okay. The moral is that we are all human beings. Objects like money shouldn’t determine if we have a good future or a bad one.…

    I had never been more scared coming into a college class. Horror stories about English 250 had filled my ears and consumed my brain. They would say, "professors never give a grade higher than a C." Or, "prepare yourself for failure. " I wasn 't sure if I was ready for this stress, and contemplated waiting another semester just to put this class off. Not only did I decide to believe everyone, I also knew my English background wasn 't strong, so I mentally prepared myself for a horrendous semester.…

    Last week in the discussion, I felt blown away by the different point of views on different situations with money. This discussion genuinely opened my eyes since I never looked at the world in a dissecting, and realistic way especially towards money. For myself, my values are to make sure that my health, my needs, and family needs are all being taken care of everyday. However, when I was asked what would I take a $30,000 job and be satisfied, or a $60,000 job and be miserable.…
