Advantages And Disadvantages Of Population Essay "Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed"– Mahatm Gandhi. The general argument goes a little like this, too many people means too much consumption happening, too much pollution and this threatens the capacity of a natural resource the earth is providing to human nature. Population and what is the problem with population? More people, people versus resources perspective. Social perspective versus social relations. We, as human beings are living at the best time. We may be living in a strange, most difficult moment with all the wars happening around. At first stage, we started with war and Dark Ages and plagues and taboos, but then, recent centuries have increased the population number in the 150 years. ...show more content... This leads to pollution and depletion. Therefore, we as humans are consuming too much of what the earth is providing either water, electricity, air, agriculture and we are having too many children. Hence, the solution is to create and spread more awareness about the overpopulation that is happening. Emphasize more on birth control regulations and transfer modern technologies to regions that have large number of productivity such as India and Egypt in order to slow population growth . Also, to develop or transfer new appropriate and efficient technologies to decrease energy consumption, increase the use of recycling, and increase agricultural productivity. For example by encouraging farmers to plant more, we need to focus on stimulating sustainable development. Here are a few points that would help in solving these Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

The Human Population Essay The Human Population By some, the human population is viewed as an environmental problem. There are also those who do not view it as a problem. In my opinion the human population is not yet, but is soon becoming a large problem. This is because very soon we will run out of room and resources for the amount of people who will be living on this planet. Because the world 's population is increasing at a rate between one and two percent, we expect it to double within the next 35 to 70 years. At this rate it will be impossible to support every living being on earth . In fact, many people starve to death each day. Although this happens in America, this starvation most often occurs in third world countries. This is because these countries are ...show more content... Even selecting the people I though should be killed would be impossible for me. I believe many people would also have this problem. Even if some one could be found who was comfortable selecting and killing people, who is to say that this person is correct. I don't believe that any human has the right to decide who should die in a situation like this. Well then, how should we go about solving this problem? Are acts of Mother Nature such as AIDS, earthquakes, etc. our world's way of dealing with this problem? Is this not natural selection? Although the starvation of these third world peoples is a horrible thing, I believe that changing it is not necessarily the answer. We now know that we need to do something about the rapid growth of our population. Are the growth and death rates, the poverty and starvation in the countries, our earth's way of doing that? Or even if it is not, is it not an answer? Do we really need to worry about the conditions in these countries? We need to slow down he growth of the population and that is exactly what is happening. Although it sounds like a horrible thing to say, the world is in danger and needs help. The world however is doing fine right now. It is within the next 70 years that we will begin to see and feel the actual consequences of having a population too large for the earth to support. In my opinion it is a very good idea to start working on this problem now, because when it becomes a reality, it may be too Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

The Population Problem Essay The Population Problem Two hundred years ago, Thomas Malthus, in An Essay on the Principle of Population, reached the conclusion that the number of people in the world will increase exponentially, while the ability to feed these people will only increase arithmetically (21). Current evidence shows that this theory may not be far from the truth. For example, between 1950 and 1984, the total amount of grain produced more than doubled, much more than the increase in population in those 34 years. More recently though, these statistics have become reversed. From 1950 to 1984, the amount of grain increased at 3 percent annually. Yet, from 1984 to 1993, grain production had grown at barely 1 percent per year, a decrease in grain production per ...show more content... More people means more waste, more pollution, and more development. With this taken into consideration, it seems that Hardin's teachings should no longer fall on deaf ears. When discussing the issue of population, it is important to note that it is one of the most controversial issues facing the world today. Population growth , like many other environmental issues, has two sides. One side will claim that the population explosion is only a myth, while the other side will argue that the population explosion is reality. Because of this, statistics concerning this subject vary widely. But, in order to persuade, it is necessary to take one side or the other. Thus, statistics may be questioned as to their validity, even though the statistics come from credible sources. Lifeboat Ethics The United States is the most populous country in the world, behind only China and India. Unlike China and India though, the United States is the fastest growing industrialized nation. The United States' population expands so quickly because of the imbalance between migration and immigration, and births and deaths. For example, in 1992, 4.1 million babies were born. Weighing this statistic against the number of deaths and the number of people who entered and left the country, the result was that the United States obtained 2.8 million more people than it had gotten rid of (Douglis 12). Population increases place great strain on the American society and more particularly it Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

Population Growth Essay Population Growth Population Growth is becoming a huge issue in our country and world today. The reason that it has become such a pressing issue is that our growing population needs a growing economy and has growing needs. As our population grows, the needs of the population become bigger. Very large population becomes a problem when there isn't enough space to live, and not enough food and supplies to live off of. We can predict population size in the future by examining the recent past. This can give us good ideas about what we will have to do to accommodate all of the people in the US and the world, or start to put restrictions on babies being born like our fellow country China. In this activity we were given the ...show more content... The errors in the linear model were random, but not off by much each different year. The population wasn't off by more than 2,000 people at most in one year. Using the linear model we made some predictions like what will the population being the year 2000? By putting the equation into the calculator and going into the table, we predicted that in the year 2000 the population would be 2.76 billion. Another prediction that was made was what will the population be when I retire. Most people retire when they are about sixty– five, so that would be in the year 2045. The population in 2045 is predicted to be 3.8 billion according to the linear model. The population will double from the current population in the year 2114. The population will then be 5.52 billion. One thing that I am concerned about is how high the population will be when my children are growing up. I plan to have children when I am about 27 so when my child is about 20, the year will be 2027 and the population will be 3.4 billion. Next we did the same procedure for the world population . In this case, the exponential model fit the data more efficiently. The equation was 2,552,666,405 = 1.018,677,273^x, r = .998328246. The world population for the year 2000 is will be 6.44 billion. Upon retiring the world population will be 1.5 trillion people. Comparing the two models the exponential model makes sense because the population is growing at such a rapid rate.

Why The Human Population Grow So Fast Shelby Coats–Lamberth 7/18/15 Chapter 34 Human Growth and Population The human growth population has been doubling for several years. During the seventeenth century it when scientists really seen a major increase and now it is tripling in shorter amount of time. The human growth population has been the most abundant and the longest growing out of all the animal kingdoms. Some of the reasons why the population of humans have grown so fast is because of the mechanical inventions and realizing how important medical attention is. According to Meder & Windelspecht (2014) the human population was approximately five billion people in the 1650's, and by the 1850's is doubled again. Now today we are estimated to have approximately seven billion people Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

Essay on World Population World Population Works Cited Not Included Population causes a heated debate among many people. The world's population has exceeded 6.5 billion and continues to increase about another 76 million each year. The three most populated countries are China, India, and the United States. Scientists have become worried that the population will double within the next 50 years, exceeding 12 billion people. With scarce natural resources and the strain that a doubling in population will cause on food availability, people become more wary about population control. What is population control? Population Control is the practice of limiting population increase, usually by reducing the birth rate (www.wikipedia.org). The first country to adopt a ...show more content... Samuel states in his article, "The Development of India's Policy of Population Control": "This policy has not yet received the attention merited by its importance for India's development." China leads India in population by about 2 million people, putting China at the top of the list with 1.3 billion people, roughly 20 per cent of the world's population (www.wikipedia.org). What has China done in the effort to slow the ever growing population? In 1979, China introduced a policy limiting one child per family. This was unprecedented. In 1986, the limit increased to two children per family, as long as the family was non–Han. (Han is the ethnic majority in China). Some rural Han families were also allowed to have two children, as long as the firstborn child was a female. The goal in doing this was to limit the population to below 1.37 billion by the year 2010. Some families refused to adhere to the family limitation policies. For example, they sabotaged government mandated contraceptives and paid doctors to claim to have performed abortions. It has been 28 years since the policy was set, and there have been some gender fluctuation within the Chinese population. At first, the Chinese families only wanted male children in order to carry on the family name and honor. Many families with daughters born wanted abortions or simply killed the females after birth. In 1995, 1,166 male children were born for every Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

Population And Its Effects On The World In the world there are lots of different organisms. The number of organisms in a group can be referred to as the organism's population. When the term population is thrown around, the human race comes to mind. But what is the human population? Where is it most dense? Is it good or bad? Let us learn. Population is defined as the number of inhabitants in a particular area. Currently on the face of the earth there are approximately 7.2 billion people alive at this very moment and as of 2013, 36 million of these people live in Canada. The top 10 countries by population are: China with 1.4 billion people, India with 1.3 billion people, the United Sates with 322 million, Indonesia with 253 million, Brazil with 200 million, Pakistan with 185 million, Nigeria with 178 million, Bangladesh with 158 million, Russia with 142.5 million and Japan with 127 million people. As can be seen a lot of people live in Asia. To be specific, 61% of the world's population lives in Asia but why is this the case? There are many reasons as to why there are so many people in Asia. One reason is Asia's agricultural development. Asian culture thrived in the past because they mastered growing a high amount of food in small areas. They grow such copious amounts of rice, and copious amounts of other food types of food that they can support copious amounts of people. Another reason for high Asian populations is the lack of cultural social safety net. In many of these countries, there is not unemployment Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

Global Environmental Issues Of The World There are more than 7 billion people on Earth and counting presently, and roughly one in eight of us does not have enough to eat. The question "how many people the Earth can contain and sustain" is a long–standing one that becomes more intense as the world 's population–and our use of natural resources–keeps booming(1). It should be noted that there are 7 continents (Asia, Africa, South America, North America, Europe, Australia and Antarctica) and 196 countries without including sub–nations and unoccupied islands in the world. This is not shocking to people as the world dynamics cannot be completely studied as population trends change from time to time due periodic occurrences. Population debates like this are why, in 2011, National Geographic published a series called "7 Billion" on world population , its trends, implications, and future. After years of examining global environmental issues such as climate change, energy, food supply, and freshwater, we thought the time was ripe for a deep discussion of people and how we are related to all these other issues– issues that are getting increased attention today, amid the new population projections(1). Recent researches show that the world population took billions of years to reach 7 billion and between 200 years rapidly increased 5 percent and increased to 7.4 billion(2).(2) In a famous 1798 essay, the Reverend Thomas Malthus proposed that human population would grow more rapidly than our ability to grow food, and that Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

Essay on Population Growth and Standard of Living Population Growth and Standard of Living Recently, the human population on this planet surpassed an amazing milestone. In the year 2000 it hit 6 billion, and without a sign of slowing down, continue to increase at an unprecedented pace. After taking nearly 3 million years to reach our first 1 billion, it has taken us only 11 years to raise our population the most recent billion (from 5 to 6). This rate of growth can be graphically interpreted as a J–shape pattern. If the past is any indication of the future, this means that while our rate of growth is high right now (a net increase of almost 87 million annually), it will continue increase to no end. But is there a limit to how big the population on Earth can truly be? While many agree ...show more content... We also are currently having trouble supplying adequate housing, health care, education, and many other components of a reasonable standard of living. "If we cannot provide these amenities now for 6 billion people in the world, can we expect to provide them for 8 to 10 billion in the 21st century." (Southwick, 161) On the opposite end of the argument lie optimistic ecologists like Julian Simon. Simon believes that there is no population crisis and no environmental crisis that is due to the rapid growth of humans. He believes, in what many scientists call, a "tech fix". "He asserts that population growth, economic growth, and a resource rich–world coupled with modern technology will produce greater prosperity and better health for increasing numbers of people." (Soutwick, 160) Simon's theory has come true before. For example, when the growth of our human population started to slow during the time of the nomad, humans realized agriculture could support more people, and thus, the Agricultural Revolution took place. In addition, "advances in agricultural and industrial technology have effectively increased the size of the globe over the last two centuries, in terms of the maximum population which it will support." (Dolan, 58) That is to say, a tech fix for 8 billion people down the road might not be as easy, but there are plenty of brilliant minds currently in the world who could ultimately figure out a solution to the problems that an increase in population Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

Advantages And Disadvantages Of Population Growth 0n 11 June every year, international community celebrates the world population day, which was declared by the UN in 1981, to raise awareness about global population issues. The number of people living in a specific territory, whether citizens or not, are considered as the population of that country, and the size of the global population is growing rapidly. Working together, the world can face the challenges posed by growing population and make the world better place for people. The growth of world population is unprecedented. In 1810, the world population was estimated as 1 billion, and it became 7 billion in 2010, about 1.2 present growth in 50 years, but analysts believe that population will become more than 9 billion by the year 2050. ...show more content... When countries cannot feed the rapidly expanding population, it leads to malnutrition and spread of diseases. Moreover, overpopulation creates problem of unemployment, high rate of crimes and rapid spread of diseases. Nevertheless, some countries consider a larger population as a strength and national power as it creates big market and increases domestic demand, facilitating the growth of domestic industry.

Human population growth has exploded in recent years and the impact to the environment is what I am going to describe in this paper. I am going to explain the issues population has caused as well as the biblical principles for environmental stewardship. Next I will describe important factors that contribute to the issues that population growth brings to the environment. I will then describe the effect population has on people and the environment. Finally, I will explain a long term strategy with cost and benefit issues and the required support needed to make it a successful solution. After reading this paper you should be able to understand better overpopulation effects on the environment and how we can make it better and practice biblical principles of stewardship. The world population steadily grew until it dropped during the Bubonic plague between 1000 and 1500 A.D. After 1600 the population exploded and reached 1 billion by 1800 and reached 3 billion by 1960. Currently we are at 7 billion and with this rapid growth comes a significant impact on the world environment because our resources trying to keep up with the growth. To explain how growth is an issue we have consumed more resources in the last 50 years on earth than the entire history of the world before us. The current state of the world has over 7 billion people that need food, water, shelter, and hopefully nurtured and educated. These same people consume earth's resources and produce waste in the process. As Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

Essay on The Problems of Over Population The Problems of Over Population There are several problems that affect the world today: war, crime, pollution, and several others. Overpopulation is a serious dilemma that is growing every year, every minute, and every second. It is the root of most, if not all, of the world's problems1. It is the greatest global crisis facing humanity in the twenty–first century . Overpopulation is the major global problem because of several reasons. Most of the problems we have today, such as ocean depletion, food shortages, water shortages, air pollution, water pollution, and global warming are the effects of overpopulation2. The more people there are, the more resources consumed and the more waste created. A child born today in the United States for ...show more content... Mankind is increasing the greenhouse gas levels by burning fossil fuels and deforesting the earth7. As the population increases, atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases rise rapidly which affect the ability of the outgoing energy to pass through the atmosphere, [which] effectively heats the Earth8. Another predicament is the acid rain created by air pollution, which in turn, is created by the increasing population. Acid rain's spread and damage involves weather, soil, and the life cycles of plants and animals on the land9. Air pollution is created from the burning of fossil fuels in cars, trucks, planes, and homes. The smoke and fumes rise into the atmosphere and combine with the moisture in the air to form acid rain10. As it rains, it eats away on things they settle on and contaminates lakes, drinkable water, which affect plants and animals11. Overpopulation also causes conflict. If many people live very closely together, there is a greater chance of conflict, which results in higher crime and even sometimes war12. This is why overpopulation is the major global problem. There are several things that cause this problem to come about. A major cause is the rise of living standards as the world approaches the twenty– first century , which resulted from the industrial revolution. With the help of medicine, better doctors, better housing, and a better way of life than before, the living standards are raised, which increases life Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

1. Describe the world's population growth up until now and the predicted growth towards 2050. The Global human population increases growth amounts to around 75 million annually, or 1.1% per year. The global population has grown from 1 billion in 1800 to 7 billion in 2012. It is expected to keep growing, and estimates have put the total population at 8.4 billion by mid–2030, and 9.6 billion by mid–2050. Many nations with rapid population growth have low standards of living, whereas many nations with low rates of population growth have high standards of living. 2. Explain how diets have changed as the world has become more developed. The world's richest 500 million people produce half the world's carbon dioxide emissions the primary greenhouse gas responsible for climate change whereas the poorest three billion emit just seven percent. The average American one of 312.5 million uses up some 88 kilograms of stuff daily: food, water, plastics, metals and other material goods. Americans consume a full 25 percent of the world's energy despite representing just 5 percent of global population, and the band of industrialized nations combine to waste 222 million metric tons of food per year, according to the U.N.

Thus better health conditions decrease death rates and more food supply can lead to increasing birth rates. Since living conditions (health and ...show more content... Italy reached a stable population much earlier than Nigeria. While the total population for Italy stayed small, Nigeria has approximately 7–9 times more population for each age group. Italy is further in the demographic transition and already had a declining growth rate keeping the population fairly small. In contrast, Nigeria is barely a developing country with a much higher growth rate thus creating a greater ending population. In terms of land and rural area, Nigeria has more land to expand and sustain this population size. 6. Many Western European countries are giving monetary incentives to employees who have multiple children. Why would they do this? How would a baby boom change Italy's demographics? Western European countries are giving monetary incentives to employees with multiple children because their population is decreasing and they want the population to increase. The average birth rate is 1.28 children per woman, not enough children are born to replace their parents. A baby boom would increase the population in Italy, that generation will then have more babies and cause an increase in population. 7. What would Egypt have to do in order to reach a zero growth rate? What kinds of challenges might the Egyptian government face in trying to implement these measures? Egypt would have to decrease their average birth rate to around 1.69 children per woman or increase the age group at which they Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

Globalization and the Effects on Population: A Look at Projections, Theories, and Global Population Practices. "We in the West do not refrain from childbirth because we are concerned about the population explosion or because we feel we cannot afford children, but because we do not like children." Germaine Greer, an Australian feminist writer, may or may not have been entirely serious when she wrote this statement, but the statement is an insightful one nonetheless. Greer hits on three major underlying themes that affect the study of global population trends. The first and often most important concern in population studies is that of a "population explosion." Other important factors including the economic impact on population ...show more content... Population Growth , "Explosion", and the Forces of Globalization By the mid 1950's it was already evident that a large population growth was occurring worldwide. Basic demographic statistics show unprecedented population growth in the twentieth century. "In 1900 global population was 1.7 billion, in 1950 it reached 2.5 billion," long term projections from the United Nations estimate that human population will reach the 6 million mark by the end of the twentieth century and furthermore they project a growth to a population of approximately 11.6 billion around the year 2200 . Most scholars, and even the United Nations statisticians themselves, will acknowledge that such long– term projections are at best simply nothing more than guesses. Despite this fact, these projections must still be acknowledged in order to plan for a future in which 11 billion people may have to share the scarce land and resources left in our world. The debate over population growth is one that is fierce, often over exaggerated, and clearly centered around the Malthusian dilemma. Alarmists will warn that the population is far outgrowing our food sources, therefore population growth must be the main cause of hunger. "In 1985, at the height of a major African drought, Colorado governor Richard D.

While the origins of globalization stems from within the interpretation of the individual. For better or worse, we cannot deny the dramatic effect it has caused on a large percentage of the world's population. In the United States, we tend to see a side of this phenomenon that serves to our favor. Most of the commodities you encounter in your everyday life, from the coffee in your cup to the freedom of worship, are all a result of the advantages brought forth by globalization . In contrast, the lack of jobs and available opportunities, whatever or wherever they would be, can also be attributed to the hands of globalization. As we focus on the particularities of Haitians that have resulted from this global incorporation of services and goods, we will first have to derive a holistic view of the logistics being called for by the process that maneuvers the nature of globalization. Because of the broad interpretation of the term "origins of globalization", I will refrain from establishing this term as referring to the original African diaspora that eventually led to our current state of affairs. Rather, I will reserve the term for such period which marks the beginning when developed sovereign states began to expand their economy , religion, politics, and conflict, as they discover and exploit more of the worlds lands and resources. Our defined origins of globalization would put us at the period when the potential for trade expanded to the worldwide stage, instead of being Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

This trend is particularly evident in Norway, where the combination of reduced availability of wild resources and sustained increases of crops has resulted in the production of farmed Atlantic salmon is 100 times higher than the wild catch. In Canada, the decline of natural stocks of Atlantic salmon and Pacific has led to severe restrictions on the catch of wild species. In Chile, growing sustainably salmonid species has increased, reaching in 2000 27% of world production exceeding (52%) the value of exports of fishmeal and other marine products. In Chile within the various aquatic species on which extractive activities are carried out and cropping, the mussels are second in the national harvest totals (18%), this group being represented by the species' giant mussel "(Choromytilus chorus), the "mussel" (Mytilus chilensis) and "mussel" (Aulacomya atra) (Subpesca, 2006) (Fig.1). The development of the mussel, which represents the oldest farming activity has been developed in Chile, since there are reports of field trials from 1968 (Yanez, 1974), was initiated breakdown product of the fisheries of these resources, as the near extinction of "choro shoe" and the depletion of the natural banks of the "mussel" and "mussel." The greatest success is achieved in the cultivation of "mussel" in Putemún and other Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

The World Population Data Sheet Reported All residents of a specific area, city, or country comprise the total population. In my imagination, the word "population" means all people from all over the world. As everyone knows, people are born, grow, live, multiply, and make history, since the first living things appeared on the earth. Every two years, the United Nations makes an assessment of past, present and future populations in all countries and publishes their discoveries and predictions. Therefore, with this evaluation, they can report on the number of people, and, based on this, they can conclude a hypothesis of what is likely to happen with all us in the future. The World Population Data Sheet reported that in 2014, there were 7,238,184,000 people on the earth. As implied by "Global Population Growth," 7.2 billion can reach 11 billion or more than this in 2100 (49). The United Nations News Center reported that every year, the population rises by 143,341,000 people. However, the relationship between population and surroundings is complicated. Scientists are concerned when they estimate consumption of natural resources, the demand of the population, and the limits of the earth's ability to support 4 billion people more ("Global Population Growth" 49). Indeed, communities' effect on the environment takes place in two greater parts, as reported by the "Unit 5: Human Population Dynamics Section 5: Population Growth and the Environment." The first is that people consume more and more natural resources Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

Population Growth in Perspective Essays Population Growth in Perspective Introduction To anyone even remotely acquainted with the situation, the ever–expanding world population can easily be a cause of grave concern. Indeed, the simple realization that the total world population will most likely be doubling within the next century may seem to imply catastrophe. Considering the strain our current huge population puts on the world, is it not natural to presume that two times our number will spell disaster? While this is the view held by many prominent voices, there also is a less–noticed group of people who contend that the resiliency of the earth and the ingenuity of its people will keep the planet a decent place to live. In this paper, I attempt to critically examine ...show more content... Generally, people have operated under the assumption that the world was (or was on its way to being) overpopulated. I began my research in this topic with the same outlook. I initially wanted to research overpopulation because I was deeply concerned with its implications. I wanted to understand the causes of population growth and to learn what might be done to ameliorate the problem. Soon into the research, however, I happened upon pieces of literature opposing the idea of an overpopulation crisis and immediately respected certain aspects of their arguments. Quickly, I was forced to change the scope of my question from "what will be the consequences of overpopulation?" to "what exactly does overpopulation mean?" and "does an overpopulation problem even exist?". History of Population Crises The seed of my doubt that an overpopulation crisis was imminent was planted when I began to examine the historical record of population concerns. As a history major, I have at least some respect for patterns in history. While I recognize that new things can emerge, often a current event is a variant on an earlier expressed theme. Regarding population, the first documented concerns over population size date from a Babylonian epic from 1600 BC (Cohen, 1995). More writings on the topic across the globe have continued since then, themselves probably increasing at a rate faster than the
