Lesson 1

This week in class we talked about a very interesting topic. We had a discussion on the population of the earth and how having a large family has become something that is looked down on in recent years. It is interesting to think that in the middle ages and for almost the whole history of the world men and women thought of their kids as their legacy, but something over the years has caused us to see children as more of a responsibility. Many of us are very familiar with the baby boom generation as the generation where people just couldn't stop having babies, but babies weren't the only thing that wouldn't stop popping out. Theories of over-population plagued the minds of the American people and ever since children have been looked at very differently. By 2065 the world is projected to to start depopulating. Children are royalty and they are our personal legacies, the way we teach our children shows a whole lot about how we are as people. I feel like we owe it to our children, or in some cases future children, to be the best we can be and to treat them like the sons and daughters of God that we are. If we see our children like the angels of God that they really are a desire to have more kids will more than likely develop in our hearts. I am eternally grateful for my awesome parents who treated me like an angel even though I behaved like a little devil! The family is awesome and we have the wonderful opportunity to make the world a better place one well taught child at a time.
