According to B. Kontominas, in “Gender imbalance a threat to stability”, sex trade and violence against women happened because of the gender imbalance; in Asia it is not being addressed. In a presentation, they worried that the men are more likely to be violent forward women; it might affect stable marriage systems and make social instability. In Asia, there are more men than women. In most of Asia, they want sons more than daughters. It makes sexual the quality. When people have the ultrasound, it is easier for them to abort. Dr. Guilmoto said to change people’s attitudes and make a law can help reduce sex selection. Also, Dr. Purnima Mane said, we should change the value of women now.

In Asia, most people want a son. However, it is not something humans can decide. People may bear a lot of children before they bear a son. They never think about the result. It will be hard for humans to live, most children might be able to go to school, and it can pollute the environment.

First, if the population increased, it will be hard for humans to live. The human living areas will be smaller. For example, humans live in places that have limits. If people are stubborn about bearing babies, we might have insufficient living areas. Also, it can bring about food war, because of the high population. If the population goes up, people need more food than before. For example, they have six children and parents. Total is eight people in that family. It means they should have enough food for eight people to eat. They should have a lot of money, because they could buy enough food to eat. It is hard for a poor family.

Second, if the population increases, most children might be able to go to school. In most of the less developed countries, people want to bear a boy. They think the boy can do everything. When they bear a boy, they might feel self-conceit. People can bear many babies, but for a poor family, the child might be able to go to school, because they do not have enough money to pay study cost. For example, in a poor family, they may have 5 children. They should go to school, but their family does not have enough money to pay. Their parents decide to just make one child go to school. It is unfair for the other children. They also have the right to go to school. If they do not go to school, they cannot learn knowledge.

Finally, if we have many people, it might pollute the environment. Too many people can make environmental pollution. For example, in less developed countries most people throw trash in public places. They think throwing trash it does not matter, because other people also do this. Why do they think like this? Because they has a low cultural level. If the low cultural level people still bear babies, it might make cultural level lower and lower. So, it makes them not think anything about making environmental pollution.

In conclusion, the population increased day by day. It might a serious problem. If we do not find solution, this problem might be bigger. If population increased, it will be hard for humans to live, children might be able to go to school, and people may pollute the environment. People should not just want to bear a boy. Boy or girls both are important for parents.
