overpopulation + 2 week reflection

Many parts of the world are faced with overpopulation. Countries facing the most problems are Japan, India, and China. Problems may include shortage of food and water, along with inadequate healthcare. China has done the most work to solve its problem. It has created a one child policy, but it is not properly enforced. If i had to come up with a strategy i would give benefits to those with one child or less. This would lead to more and more people having fewer kids, but they would not be forced to do it. This makes them more inclined to receive these benefits. However, no strategy is perfect for the situation.
During the past two weeks, I have not really been learning much in schol, except for ecology in biology, and Iraq in world geo.

Genocide in Darfur+2 week reflection

Darfur is an area plagued by killing. Many groups have been accused of getting involved. These may include the Sudanese government, the Chinese government of the Janjaweed, a militant group. In my opinion, the janjaweed are the people at the most fault. This is because they are the ones actually doing all of the killing. However the Sudanese government can also be considered equally at fault. This is because thwy are hiring the Janjaweed. They are also supplying them with weapons to kill innocent people.
During the last two weeks, I have been learning about southwest asia in geography, and about protists and fungi in biology.
