Most people agree that the family planning programme is desirable for the good of the family and society. But individuals and religious groups differ sharply on the methods of birth control that they consider moral and acceptable.

Couples that practice birth control do so for various reasons. They may want to limit or space their children, or to have no children at all. Young couples often postpone having children so that both partners can work full time. Other couples space their children so they can give each as much attention as possible. Some women are advised by their doctors to avoid pregnancy for health reasons. In many countries with rapidly growing populations, the government encourages couples to limit the number of their families.

Even though birth control has gained in acceptance, opposition to the practice is continuous. Some people fear that birth control encourages sexual activity outside marriage or that government might impose birth control. Some religious groups oppose birth control on moral grounds.

Some religious groups teach that artificial methods of birth control are immoral because they separate the purposes of intercourse in marriage—conjugal love and the procreation of children. Although they oppose all artificial birth control, they consider natural family planning to be acceptable.

Indonesia’s Biggest Cinematic Achievement

I believe there’s a huge responsibility in adapting the number \(1\) best selling novel. The book was certainly popular and everybody worships this work of Andrea Hirata.

Laskar Pelangi is no doubt one of the best Indonesian movies. The movie contains social and educational issues and strongly declares that everyone needs education.

I can’t stop saying that Laskar Pelangi is a marvelous picture. Even the author was amazed and stated that the movie is better than his original writing.
