As nations develop, fertility continues to drop. In the developed world this is typically linked to people prioritizing their careers over traditional family views. In developing nations where women tend to have many children at young ages, fertility has also dropped, even though these nations economies aren’t as prosperous in comparison. French demographer Christophe Guilmoto found that people in developing nations like India were “not simply having fewer children” (Hvistendahl), but instead “they were having fewer girls” (Hvistendahl 250). The population is decreasing not because women are having fewer children…
The level of childlessness has doubled in thirty years and the world could be in danger of under population. Some women are childfree by choice, meaning they choose not to have children for a number of different reasons. Many celebrities are childfree, even Dr. Seuss did not have children, which is ironic due to the great deal of children’s books he has written. While reading the selection Childfree by Choice by Kelly J. Welch, I developed the belief that all women should have the option of whether or not they want to have children. While some people believe all women or married couples should bear children, lack of interest, logical thoughts, and unfortunate circumstances are some reasons they would remain childless.…

As time goes on, humans adapt their ideologies to the present era, whether or not others agree. “The Right To One’s Body” by Margaret Sanger, discusses about birth control and female choices to copulate. Women can work, vote and enjoy life, however they cannot choose the number of children nor when they want to mate. World War One brought new opportunities to female to work in factories, however as WWI ends and the new era begins. Female started to change from the victorian values, ankle-length skirts and housewife, to the new women, knee-length skirt, alcohol and other entertainment.…
After watching her own mother die from the weakness that wracked her body after having too many children, Sanger dedicated her life to helping to legalize and distribute birth control. Many women died at this time from having too many babies, where such exertion wrecked their immune and physical systems. The women that were dying were important women in society, they were mothers, grandmothers, wives, all dying from a preventable cause. When asked about how many children a woman should have, Snager replied “Women of the working class, especially wage workers, should not have more than two children at most. The average working man can support no more and and the average working woman can take care of no more in decent fashion.”…
When there is suspicion of abuse with vulnerable adults, there are procedures that have been set up by organisations that work with the multi disciplinary framework to care for the adults. These are the six steps of action: Alert, Referral, Decision Making, Assessment, Review and Monitor and Record. All possible abuse cases must be shared with immediate communication and professional responsibility. There is whistleblowing, ‘Whistleblowing’ is when a worker reports suspected offence at work. Officially this is named ‘making a disclosure in the public interest’.…

FIlipovic also explains the harsh consequences for children who are the product of a forced parenthood. She concludes her article by explaining that normalizing a lifestyle with no kids would be ideal for everyone, including parents and even children. This article lacks scholarly citations such as the first article did.…
It is simply not easy to eliminate healthcare disparities among patients with chronic diseases; it requires unlimited and multidisciplinary effort. Since patients with chronic illnesses have tendency to visit hospitals more often than other patients with non-chronic diseases, improved access to preventive health and updated management system will facilitate early diagnosis and instruction to preventive practices, thus ameliorating the current under sourcing situation. First of all, having adequate resourcing would be the key to remove healthcare disparities. Other than doctors, placing nurse practitioners, physician assistants, specialized registered nurses in chronic diseases or even health advocates will have direct impact in reducing healthcare disparities (Crooke, 268). In contrast to non-chronic illness patients, chronic illness patients perform visits for repetitive and continuous treatment.…

The psychological factors depend on health behaviors, risky behaviors, help-seeking behaviors, and coping mechanisms. The social factors depend on social norms that vary in culture and society within a geographical location.…

According to Stomach, “some female school students and graduates use education to argue for new family models”. Many believe that education is the only way to be independent and have a better future. As a consequence, women do not want to be married and instead focus on their education in order to be able to support themselves financially and not have to depend on a man to provide for them. However, although they do not want to marry they do want to have children. This idea can have an impact in women’s lives as they struggle for independence and social expectations.…
