A family planning policy has been included as a component of China’s basic national policies. Many people consider it necessary to adopt it. For one thing, implementing family planning has become an urgent task in China’s society, a society that is suffering from too large a population. For another, practicing family planning often enables one to foster his offspring’s outstanding qualities, which gives him an ounce of advantage over those from large families. This has great appeal for almost all young parents. All these point to the indispensability of such a policy.
   Some people, however, take a different view. They regard the policy as being unnecessary. In reality, they argue, family planning does not effectively control the population growth; in some regions, violation of the family planning policy is to some extent out of control. Furthermore, according to Chinese tradition, it is a happy thing to have a large family anyway.
   As far as I am concerned, I am completely in favor of the policy because it enables our country’s population to increase at a low rate, which benefits both the nation and individuals. So I support family planning, and certainly it will do me a lot of good.
