Freedom or Being Ordered???

Today in class my class talked about the "One child policy in China vs the freedom that the "octomom" (mother of 14) had in having as many children she wanted. After our discussion we created headlines in order to describe the discussion we had. I chose to do "Freedom or Being Ordered"? I chose this because I was kind of in the middle for both. My post-it was kept in the middle of the continuem, a bit more to the One Child Policy. I thought that having freedom to choose how many children you want depends on what type of country you live and the level of smartness you have. For example if you live in China then you would probably need the one child policy, since the country would run out of resources if it was over populated, unlike America where there are plenty of recources so the Americans could probably choose to have more than two or three children. Another thing I mentioned was that the level of smartness you have. What I mean is that if you are a person that is smart enough to say "Okay having more children means spendiing more money. Can I afford to have 3 or more children"? This is considering the consequenses for having a lot of children and asking yourself if you would be able to haandle it. Although there should be a balance between having freedom and being ordered having controll will give off better futures for the poeple until the people are able to handle it.
