Birth Rate Control Project, Research Paper Example

Population control method; using modern technology (electronics)

Introduction

 The use of contraceptives has been the major way in control of birth rates in the modern world. However, it has been identified that they (contraceptives) have side effects on the users. The less expensive and more effective method for population regulation have been a question to most researchers. All the methods are found to have defective in one way or the other even the newly invented. The paper explains a new method that can be used in birth rate control. It works not only in reducing but can be employed in increasing as well (Dola, 1999).

Abstract

Whether contraceptives are detriment or a benefit to the humans has been debated often. Although contraceptives serve to make lives easy but, they too have negative effects. Though the aspect of population control has been the major concern but the reverse should also be given consideration. Most scientists have not given ‘effects of contraceptives’ the magnitude it deserves. For this and other reasons, the project is aimed at providing better and less expensive method for population control.

From this research we agree that the method is not 100% effective. It has both advantages and disadvantages. It has been in the recent past that the people who are exposed to electronics are prone to numerous cell diseases (especially the reproductive cells) (Cola, 2001). Poor electronics disposal can also discharge detrimental, non-biodegradable substances. It is believed that due to this, there has been a decrease in birth rates in developed countries. The aim of this experimental research is to determine the effect of electronics on the normal functioning of the human being. It is aimed at achieving the relation that exists between the fertility and electronic use. The future researchers are therefore encouraged to give it more consideration. They should invent the methods that the side effects can be reduced.

Literature Review

Though there has been increase in technology but the problems that are associated with it have also increased. On the other hand, the advantages are also numerous. As electronic mechanisms are becoming more complicated, the extent of effects on users is greatly increasing. The effects include both merits and demerits (Dola, 1999). The substances that are emitted taking have been used to treat disease like cancer (gamma rays). With this in mind, more uses can still be invented.

The effects are as a result of the electrons emitted when they are being used or when disposed. The substances emitted include the rays and particles (gamma rays, alpha particles example). The other can be the effects of materials that result from their corrosion as time progresses (decomposition). A technique of protecting electronics so that they do not corrode excessively should be put in place to lessen this effect. This is because it will not change their performance but their efficiency will be increased. The negative effects they have on the human cell will hence be reduced. The electricians should give high protection degrees to these machines to minimize the negative effects due to harmful substances (Cola, 2001).

Steps that have been in place to aid in the reduction of the emitted electrons and corrosion might not be the most successful. This is due to the rapid increment of cell disease in the recent past. This is as per the study that was conducted by ADR in 2001 and 2008 in America and Canada where the use of electronics are at the peak. The same result has been confirmed by ARC in 2009 and 2010. It is due to the negative effects of electronic emissions on the reproductive cells that the project has been developed. The side effects are (in this project) harmonized to aid in birth rate control.
As a result, fresh techniques should to be developed to curb the problem. In a nut shell, there is great to reduce harmful electronic corrosion and electron emission. The less harmful emissions can be used in other fields like population control (Cola, 2001).

Hypothesis

The human fertility and birth rate are dependent on the rate of use of electronics. The rate of birth apart from depending on other factors too is determined on the rate of use of electronics. They are indirectly related. The effects (of electronic use) are most common in males than females (Efuon, 2006). It is predicted that when more electronics are developed and are used, the rate of giving birth would reduce.

Research methodology

Based on the hypothesis, numerous methods of collecting data were used in the research. The data was collected throughout and in almost all the regions in America to ensure that no data was left out (Population Size of 600 was used). The wide area also ensured that the whole area was captured. The interviewers were sampled randomly and from different regions. The use of more than one method to enhanced the validity of the research study. All the principles that could give good data were used. In cases where the respondent was not ready to answer other methods were used. This involved asking other questions that are related to the intended question. The questions like rate of birth, number of children, when electronic was bought and such likes were employed in difficult cases. The questions are directly related to frequency of sex and hence can be substituted. All the study aspects and the research objectives could be looked at using the several methods. The more-than-one-method also ensured that no data was left un-captured (Cola, 2001).

This research would therefore deploy the use of questionnaires (Through E-mail & In person), interviews and documents and secondary sources as they would substantially help in achieving the research objectives. The questionnaires were used in Hospitals. The interview would take a lot of time. However, interview was most appropriate as the validity and truth of the information provided by the respondents would be determined. Interviewers’ identities were revealed. This could further explain the relation between the area and fertility hence the connection amid electronic use and fertility. Various organization hospitals were also sampled to provide the required information. The secondary forms of data collection included data from the past records of Medical center Hospital, Ferystar and Horizons were collected. The data from these hospitals included the past records on the distribution of contraceptives on the rates of birth (Cola, 2001).

The data captured through interview related, the rate of credit use, and frequency of sex. Both qualitative (interview) and quantitative methods of data analysis were used. The quantitative was used in hospitals while the qualitative in the field (interviewers). The data that was obtained was then analyzed thoroughly as the scope of the topic- effects of electron use on fertility. Through the interview, people were collected randomly and question regarding, credit use, and frequency of sex were collected (Efuon, 2006).

The interview was disadvantageous in some cases as in employed a lot of traveling (to come in contact with interviewer) and the accuracy also was dependent on the interviewer. This (interview) gave a lot of information as the questions were perceived differently by numerous people. It was also very difficult choosing the correct information from the whole reply. In cases the interviewer was fast, the tape recording was used. This was to enhance the fastness of information gathering and recording. This was done without their knowledge as it could raise eyebrow of the reasons and they could suspect that their private information leaked to others. They were further told that the information they provided was only for the purpose of the study and now third party would access it. The other information that did not march the scope of research that the interviewers gave was ignored. The singled out data were suitable, comprehensive, and answered the research questions appropriately. This was as per the Cola, 2001. This as well aided in the reduction of data and resulting with only the significant aspects of the data (Dola, 1999). It eliminated the volumes of information that was null and void. The data was from 100 randomly sampled individuals. This is for each range of credit use like 10-20. All the frequencies of sex were recorded and averaged to form the table.

 Weakness of research

1. The data obtained might not be 100% true as the answers were dependent on the interviewers. However, for accuracy increment large sample of 100 was used in each case.
2. The rate of birth is dependent on other factors as well. This method assumed that the other factors were as the duration of electronic use varied. This could also create error in the final result. It impossible to maintain all the factors constant. To enhance the accuracy, different credit amounts were used (Efuon, 2006).
3. Most of the interviewers were shy of giving detains on matters that are pertaining sex and hence the accuracy of the result can be low. This was the major demerit of interview method as data collection technique (Dola, 1999).

Data collection

The data obtained was reduced and the following table was made. All the aspects of the feedbacks from the hospitals and gotten through interview could not be presented. Some data were not marching the scope of the project and hence ignored. The independent variable was rate of birth while the dependent were time and fertility (Fertility in this case was used to mean the desire for sex). At the start, the fertility is not similar due to other factors like occupation, information and technology (Xola, 2000). We can say that the people, who use approximately 60 and above credit per month have high income, are educated and informed of the advantages of family planning. The fertility could be measured but the frequency of sex. For better results a wide period of three months were taken. All the other factors were assumed to be constant. Time was after every six months. The short interval made it possible to denote the effects properly and to result in making good conclusion. The period was long i.e for 5 year to confirm the results (Dola, 1999). The amount of credit was used to determine the frequency of electronic use as the two are directly related. The more the credit, the more frequent the electronic is used. The respondents were interviewed once every year. They residents were noted at the start of the research. In cases they were not found at the time of interview, another time was chosen. This was to make sure that they are followed and effects noted. The questions could not be answered by none other than the parents.

All the value in the year’s column is the averages of the frequencies of sex in 100 interviewees.

 Data analysis

The connection that exists amid time, electronic rate use and fertility can hence be determined from the table. It is evident from the table that as the rate of electronics use advanced, the fertility rate decreased. This is in all the rangers of credit users. Assuming that all the other factors and conditions were constant and the interviewers had normal perception to sex as before we can conclude that the fertility and electronic use are negatively related. Fertility depends on the use of electronics. The correlation factor cannot be determined even though but fertility depends on electronic use. This is because when the graph illustration time and fertility is drawn the following is obtained. It is not a straight line or a curve.

N/b. the x-axis represents time while the y-axis represents fertility.

It can be assumed from the graph that after some time, the unstable families become stable and hence are able to take care of bigger families. This is why the graph moves upwards after 4 year. The fluctuation in the values could be due to family matters and other changes in the family set up. The other factor can be education (Xola, 2000).

The graph below represents the connection between fertility and credit use. The connection can be assumed (by the look at the shape) to be negatively related. The more the credit used the less fertility. The graph is not straight due to errors in the answers give and the population sampled (Dola, 1999). Even though, line of best fit can be obtained from the graph. (X-axis represents electronic use while y-axis represents credit per month). This is due to the fact that the electronic use and amount are directly proportional and hence each can be substituted for the other. This can further extend to substitution of fertility by the electronic use. We can therefore take the y-axis to be the fertility and the x-axis as the electronic use. This gives easy time in the analysis of the findings.

From the observation we can reject our hypothesis as the perfect relation cannot be identified. The correlation factor is unknown.

Reliability and accuracy

The data collection method can be considered as reliable as a large population was used and the data obtained averaged. The data obtained is valid since it is primary data. The whole data is from the interviewers. Therefore, we believe that the data is true and conclusions correct (Cola, 2001).

Conclusion

The rate of birth control is essential for the planning in any given economy. The less the population the advantageous the country is. The statement is not true for all the countries; there are countries that require more youth people and so the more the birth rate the better. The best example is Japan, where man power is required. This (electronic birth control method) can be the best method in all the condition, either increase or decrease in population. Though the method is not as effective as use of contraceptives but is safer and cheaper. This is the strength of the use of electronic method (Efuon, 2006). The other demerit of the project is that it also depends on the electronic make. There are some electronics that emit more dangerous substances than the others. The method therefore is also dependent on the make of the phone. For countries that would like to use this safe and faster method in population control should take precautions. This is very important. Regardless of the bad side, future improvements can be done to enhance the efficiency of the projects. The merits outweighing the demerits, we highly recommend that this method can work more perfectly than others. The other advantage is that after some time, the effects of the emissions fade away and so the changes are not permanent (Cola, 2001). When a person stops using the electronics more so the phone for a l9ong time, the effects are reversed.
