Norman Borlaug: The Father Of Green Revolution

Thomas Malthus was an English philosopher who lived from 1766 to 1834, An Essay on the Principle of Population, is one of the most influential pieces of writing in history. Not only did it help to establish the modern field of economics, it aided Charles Darwin on his regarding evolutionary science. Malthus’ core argument that runs a majority of the book is dedicated to the ‘Iron Law of Population’. This essay will seek to examine the premises of Thomas Malthus’ 1798 an Essay on the Principle of Population and conclude on its argument as well as provide a justification of the invalidity of the argument. In addition, it will identify its multiple influences on historical contexts throughout time.

On the other hand, Thomas Malthus had little hope for the future. He believed that the world’s population will increase faster than the production of food. The human race, he believed, would starve and there would be periods of chaos. Malthus said that the population increases at an exponential rate, nearly doubling amount. There is no way food growth would be able to catch up with population growth. Malthus’ solution was “War, Famine, and Plagues”. He believed that was the only way to decrease population and hopefully salvage the human race. These events would increase death rates liberating the world of disaster. Malthus tried to persuade lower classes form creating children and from marriage. At that time the lower classes were considered to be given higher wages, which would increase the makings of children and marriages. Thomas Malthus pleaded with everyone to make a change in order to decrease population.

Elie Wiesel is known to be a deserving recipient of the Noble Peace Prize because as written in Pbs.org, Wiesel “was a witness for truth and justice…not with a message of hate and revenge, but one of brotherhood and atonement” (Egil Aarvik). Almost immediately, Wiesel’s trustworthiness will spark and the audience will feel an immense amount of admiration and trust for him and what he has to say since only a selected, amazing individuals have received the Nobel Peace Prize. The Nobel Peace Prize will serve as a message that the speaker has dedicated an immense amount of time for a greater good and to help others; it is without a doubt prestigious and respected award. Similarly, the reputation of Elie Wiesel and the fact that he advocates for peace and to save suffering victims around the world will make the audience conclude that he has had experience in humanitarian and peace attempts and organizations. As a result, Elie Wiesel’s reputation will without a doubt increase his credibility and authority throughout the text. The audience will be aware of his actions in the past and they will trust and admire Wiesel. The credibility and authority he has built through his reputation and public image will benefit him in regards to persuade his audience to kill indifference and help those who are still to this day suffering. His public image is seen as one of a dedicated individual who is a leader and encourages others to peacefully stop intolerance and indifference and that builds his credibility in the eyes of the

In 1798 utilitarian Thomas Malthus published An Essay on the Principle of Population as an argument against an utopian society based on social and economic equality. Malthus believed that if the human population is left unchecked then the population would outgrow the resources necessary to maintain the population. Malthus’s argued that the population will continue to grow and the burden will unavoidably put on the poor population. However, the inequality of population would be a good thing in terms of controlling the population.

Mahatma Gandhi is a trailblazer for change thru nonviolent resistance and compassion for others, even for his oppressors, that made a large impact on the world.

Thesis: The topic of human population growth is an important issue due to its impacts upon people in developing countries, economics, religion, food production, and the environment; without any limitations, population growth can lead to negative consequences, such as famine and environmental destruction, or even positive outcomes, such as potential economic growth.

During the late 1700s, Adam Smith and Thomas Malthus each entered their predictions on the future of the world’s economies into the history books. In his writings in An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, Smith theorized that national economies could be continuously improved by means of the division of labor, efficient production of goods, and international trade. In An Essay on the Principle of Population, Thomas Malthus predicted that the sustainable production of food in relation to population was vital to the mere existence of national economies in order to ensure an able labor force. Smith believed that the success or

Thomas Malthus said that population would grow faster than the food supply until problems made it decline.

In November 1971, Peter Singer composed his essay “Famine, Affluence and Morality” in regards to famine in East Bengal (now East Pakistan). He stated that people were suffering and dying due to lack of food resources, shelter, clothing, and medical assistance. This and many other factors such as civil war, and natural disaster have turned approximately nine million people into insolvent refugees (Singer, 229). Though there seemed to be some institutions and private or public organizations that were capable of helping the refugees, there were no sufficient funds. Peter Singer argues that individuals from wealthy countries like the Western World are morally ought to help. Unfortunately, people have not made any significant response to such situation.

He was the youngest man to ever receive the Nobel Peace Prize and he used the prize money to further civil right

During the 1700s, there was one man who was very interested in the future of the human population and had an opinion very different than most. Thomas Malthus, an English philosopher who lived from 1766 to 1834, was the first man to publicly predict the limits of the human population and how population and well-being are connected. In 1798, Malthus wrote An Essay on the Principle of Population, which explained his predictions and changed the view of many people.

Thomas Malthus argued in his Essay on the Principles of Population, that “the pressure of population on the means of subsistence acted like a noose that becomes tighter when population grew too fast and all attempts to redistribute wealth in a more egalitarian manner came to nought”. Malthus argued that “the power of population is indefinitely greater than the power in the earth to produce subsistence for man”. It can be identified through the famines of the biological ancient regime that humanity was stuck in this trap, lacking resources for population growth. That being said, Marks states that the necessities of life and industries came from land and agriculture, yet argues that this biological ancient regime came to an end with the Industrial Revolution. I believe that it is due to the agricultural revolution that humanity was able to escape this regime, due to the massive output of food and resources

There is a street named after Borlaug. Borlaug said that the world should feed itself. Borlaug saved millions of lives with the way he breeds plant so they have a higher yield. They can Borlaug the father of broad agriculture. Borlaug thought that each country should be self-sufficient and if the countries didn’t start to become self-sufficient the world would be destroyed. Borlaug wouldn’t give up on Mexico Borlaug just kept on going. Borlaug had almost made hunger go away, but the population never stopped growing. He went the Norway and try to help Norway if there hunger problems. Borlaug started to teach countries how to use fertilizer. Borlaug just didn’t make wheat better but Borlaug also made rice and maize better also. Plant disease started going around then Borlaug had to find away to get a plant that can withhold the diseases going around. Borlaug managed to find a way for the plant to withhold the diseases. Wheat started to rust so Borlaug that to find a way so the wheat wouldn’t rust. Borlaug was starting to get frustrated with the government's because they were making him do more than he needed to do. Borlaug was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970. At that time Borlaug was working in a wheat field at the time and Borlaug said, “There is no time to celebrate.” Borlaug celebrated later after his work was done. Borlaug had been fighting cancer for a couple of years. Borlaug died on September 12, 2009, in Dallas

Thomas Robert Malthus is one of the most controversial figures in the history of economics. He achieved fame chiefly from the population doctrine that is now closely linked with his name. Contrary to the late-eighteenth-century views that it was possible to improve people’s living standards, Malthus held that any such improvements would cause the population to grow and thereby reverse these gains. Malthus also sparked controversy with his contemporaries on issues of methodology (by arguing that economics should be an empirical rather than a deductive science), over questions of theory (by holding that economies can experience prolonged bouts of high unemployment), and on policy issues (by arguing against free
