Thomas More conceived of population control as a way to solve problems caused by overpopulation and low birth rates. He believed population control could help maintain a stable and harmonious number of citizens. Some problems caused by overpopulation include increased pollution, depletion of resources, and global warming, while low birth rates can lead to an aging society and decreased economic growth. Both Plato and More theorized that the state should establish rules to control birth rates, though this raises issues of interfering with personal freedom.

1. SOCIAL RELATIONS

2. THE POPULATION CONTROL
Thomas More conceived the population control in a
particular and important way, because if It is used
correctly and consciously, It can lead to solve a lot
of current problems. In fact we live in a world which
is characterized by overpopulated territories and by
other places, where the development of the
population goes to negative. The rules ,established
by Thomas More, would be useful because the
population might have and express particular
harmony and consistency in the development of the
number of citizens

3. SOCIAL PROBLEMS
In our society there are a lot of problems which are
connected with the number of citizens. The most
important are the overpopulation or the bad birth rate.

4. OVERPOPULATION
The problems connected to the overpopulation are:
 The increase of pollution.
 The depletion of non-renewable resources.
 The excessive waste production.
 The corruption of nature.
 Global warming and melting glaciers.
 The reckless construction of buildings, which
determine inhuman conditions of life.

5. POOR BIRTH RATE
The problems linked to the poor birth rate are:
 The development of an old company which lead to
an economic setback(if it isn’t handled correctly),
because there are a few young people who work
despite a lot of retired.
 The decrease of modernization.
 The development of a static society and of a culture
which tends to not renew.
 The development of a new population policy which
is used to try to increase the number of citizens.

6. BIRTH CONTROL
The birth control is very important, however the rules
that the State would develop, could interfere in the
personal life influencing personal freedom. This is
the risk connected to any political Utopia. In fact
even Plato, who is interested in building a perfect
State, hypothesizes to control the development of
the births. He also anticipate some theories which
were expressed by Thomas More, who was trying
to keep constant the number of citizens in the
society using particular rules.

7. UTOPIA O DISTOPIA?
ESISTE LA “VITA PRIVATA’”AD AMAUROTO?
In utopia abbiamo imparato che non esiste quella
che noi potremmo chiamare “vita privata”.
In utopia, infatti, i cittadini vivono in relazione alla
comunità in cui sono inseriti di cui devono garantire
il miglior funzionamento.
Uno dei motivi per cui possiamo affermare questo è
quanto Moro riferisce a proposito del controllo delle
nascite!
Quali sono i pro e i contro del controllo delle nascite?
Quanti miliardi di abitanti siamo oggi sulla terra?
Questi dati in che modo sono allarmanti?
