Bill McKibben in the essay, The Case for Single-Child Families, argues that the human race is overpopulated. He thinks that smaller families are better for the environment and suggests that not all parents are good parents. There are such things as bad parents and their parenting styles aren't always good. McKibben points out that it might be a good idea to start talking about overpopulation and maybe start rethinking opinions about only having a certain amount of children in attempts to prevent overpopulation.…
The view that the modern family has become more children centred can be explained with declining family size and lower infant mortality rates. In topic…
These days children and young people are involved in many issues in society which can/may affect their lives. Religion is all across the UK now and many children who live here have a different type of religion. Religions have different rules to others and this can affect children because of them (rules). For example if a Muslim child is friends with a child who doesn’t have a religion and that child can go out in the street or can sleep out, the child who is Muslim might not be able to do that and that might make them feel isolated and upset. Or children who have come from another country, their parents have a different cultural background to other people which mean the child will be raised differently and have different views, which can cause conflict among other children who have been brought up in the British culture. Personal choice is another thing that could impact a childs life, if a childs parents make a choice to live in a different way e.e same sex…
Having a family is important for most people. It is surely a right to reproduce but there has to be constraint. Some believe that overlarge families are the result of selfishness as is the failure to share and use the world’s resources fairly.…
It is important to take a balanced approach to risk management as most activities children undertake have some element of risk involved in them. However when the activity is well planned and organised, with thought given to risks that may occur, any probability of risks should be minimised. We must ensure that the benefits the activity gives to the child outweigh any risks involved.…
Socioeconomic status and child development talked about the differences of high and low in families.

There are many different family structures in today’s society. The differing types of family structures can be beneficial for children as it is important for children to have families who they can depend on. Here is an image mentioning a few of these:…
I would expand on the points above, and now tackle the second part of the question- reasons for changes in family size. Obviously, this decreasing birth rate would make families much smaller, and often more of a 'bean pole family'. BUT, I'd then try to link in the 'family diversity' topic with changes in family size, such as more immigrants means families can be extended (south asian families), more lone parent families (Afro-Caribbean families) as well as more lone parent families in general due increase in divorce rate, and also because of Cashmores research that the difference between children of lone parent families is very small to a children from a two parent family. I'd then expand on this idea, and include Rezedvous and Philips research. I'd then state the anti thesis of this argument, and state the family size is…
According to Sociology: Concepts and Applications in a Diverse World, “the family provides for the bearing and rearing of children until they can live on their own. The major criticism to that however, is that it could disrupt social equilibrium rather than contribute to it, for example, encouraging large families in a society that is already overpopulated.” (Sullivan, T. (2007) Pgs. 13-17)…
Is there a perfect family size? Prevailing wisdom would probably indicate at least four: a mother, father and two children -- a boy and a girl. But for many, the family is smaller. Our society's tendency is to make assumptions about an individual's personality based on his or her birth order. Throughout the ages, birth order has been implicated as a significant factor in people's personality development. This "birth-order myth" is manifested in such statements as "He's an over-achiever because he's a firstborn," and "Youngest children are spoiled brats." It's difficult not to attribute personality traits to birth order. Birth order is an observable characteristic that all human beings possess and are capable of discussing. Frequently there does appear to be marked differences in individuals of different birth orders.…
