Answer 1

3: Yes I am in favour of spending national tax money on family planning because a lower populated country can use its natural resources. High population countries are a liability for country natural resources.

4: Yes I am infavor of making childhood immunizations required before the child can attend school because after attending school child comes in contact of a larger population and susceptible to various types of disease. By not immunzing we put our younger population at the risk of many deadly diseases.

5: These programs are having minimal effect in young. Not having proper education about std and drugs abuse in school and in family conversations and pressure from friends might be causing resistance to the message for young adults.

6: Middle aged person are not much aware that choices in exercise, diet and tobacco use are significantly affecting their future years because are busy in their life for earnings. They should be made aware in their younger age.

7: In our culture elder people stay with their family. So, they have a better mental health. They are socially very active.
