Overpopulation And Resource Conflict And Allocation

While there are plenty of infants being born every single day, do you ever wonder how the world will continue to sustain the growing population? The population of the world is continuing to grow at a dangerously, increasing rate. There are already at least 6.5 billion people on Earth. According to, Overpopulation ‘is main threat to planet’,

Over population is an extremely serious problem facing the world today. According to an article from Newsweek in Oct. 2009 called “Where do babies come from?”, today’s world population has reached over 6.6 billion people. Also the article mentioned that in 2009 57.4% of all new born babies who were born this year came from Asia alone. This is an issue because over population can lead to hasty consumption of resources. China who has one of the largest population in the world with over 1.3 billion people, has taken a stance against over population.

Another thing that countries could try in order to decrease the overpopulation is increase the focus they put on their women. Developing countries tend to have higher rates in childbirth the ration to parents to kids are higher. The more children that people have the more children that can go to work , bring in money or cook and clean around the household. Women and girls in these countries have little to no education. They have to stay at home and raise their children or help out with brothers and sisters.Women that live in countries like the United States and Canada have low birth rates and tend to wait until they are older to have children if they have any.These women are bought up to go to school and then further their education.After

Every time a person is born or dies, the population changes.In resent years, the world population has been rising so fast that it is often described as a population explosion. There is plenty of evidence to show that humans have drained our planet's resources because of the amount of people that need certain resources.‘The global increase in family planning means the world's population is predicted to level off at around 9.2 billion during the middle of the century, before beginning to decline’, says the UN. Every 10 seconds, 44 people are born. Even after factoring in death rates, that's 83 million more people each year.

According to the United States census, the world population is over 7 billion and a birth occurs every 8 seconds. China leads with well over 1.3 billion people. There are rural areas, in Africa that women have never heard of any form of birth control. In those areas, women have 6 or more children. According to the United nations report (2013), The world 's population is expected to reach 9.6 billion by 2050. There is already a lack of natural global resources. The environment is showing signs of misuse caused by humans. While, reproduction is a part of life and a human right. We as people need to work on preserving our natural resources, for the betterment of our future. And, birth control is a considered method in helping control our population. Birth control is also another way of helping developing countries due to lack of obstetric care, or countries that are disease, and poverty stricken.

All over the world, the human population fluctuates throughout each country due to several different factors. Some of the factors that can lead to an increase or decrease in population include industrialization, economic instability, poverty, laws, disease, resource destruction, sanitation, natural disasters, birth control, and access to education (Class notes). Although population decline is possible and relevant in some countries, the more important issue facing many countries today is overpopulation. Some over population problems include decreases in food sources, housing needs, land, increase in distribution problems, decrease in job availability, and poor health care environment (HowMany.org, 2014). One important question related to controlling

New Zealand is located in the south-western Pacific Ocean. It is made up of two main islands, called the North and South islands, and several smaller islands. The smaller islands are made up Stewart Island, Waiheke Island, Chatham Island, Great Barrier Island, and several more uninhabited islands. New Zealand’s capital is Wellington. At the start of 2013, the population of New Zealand was estimated to be around 4.5 million people. The indigenous people of New Zealand are called the Maori, and their name for their country is Aotearoa, which means “The Land of the Long White Cloud” (whitireia.ac.nz). New Zealand is approximately 270,500 square kilometers in land area, which is similar in size to Japan or the British Isles.

The big question is whether humanity is getting too big and, in the process, endangering the wellbeing of people, and our planet. Overpopulation is a real thing it’s happening right now in some parts of the world. Delay marriage, ending child marriages, and women empowerment might not seem like a lot, but it actually is. All these things can help the overpopulation problem we are facing today in certain parts of the world and in the future. If we all contribute to this we could help the world’s overpopulation issue.

New Zealand’s government is a parliamentary democracy. Similar to Great Britain, there is no written constitution. In 1993, the legislature was expanded to 120 members. These members serve terms of three years, and are elected by a mixed system which is based on proportional representation, not universal suffrage. The Queen of New Zealand is the British monarch, and the

               The UNICEF estimates that an average of 353,000 babies are born each day; this means a baby is born to the world every two seconds. About 60 years ago, the world’s population is less than a half of what it is right now. Therefore, if the population continue to grow with this rate, the

Government Policy. NZ has a very business-friendly legal environment. The government aims to maintain budget surpluses into the future. Government policies have NZ in a relatively strong fiscal position and aim to reduce national debt to 20% of GDP by the early 2020s. Also, government has put legislation in place to keep debt at sensible levels. Small businesses are predominant in NZ and significantly for SkillPower, the current government focus is to help small businesses progress to boost the economy and create jobs. The Dominion Post on 27 October 2016 reported that in its “Doing Business 2017” published annually by the World Bank, NZ is the best place for business, overtaking Singapore that had been assessed top for the last 10 years.

The country of New Zealand is located in the South Pacific and is made up of two islands: North Island and south island, but there are several other smaller islands that are also a part of the country (New Zealand, ND). Situated south of the Pacific island areas Fiji, and Tonga the country is still considered to be somewhat remote and has various sharp mountain peaks (New Zealand, ND). According the New Zealand

New Zealand’s constitution is found in several important documents (such as the Treaty of Waitangi) rather than in a single document. The New Zealand (NZ) constitution is the foundation from which other laws are developed. It addresses all the regulations and rights of NZ citizens that include: your right to vote, responsibilities of parents to their children and so forth. Comparative to the NZ constitution, the United States (US) constitution is more structured in the sense that it is found in a four-page document. It incorporates the principles outlined in the Declaration of Independence and it indicates how the various government departments are expected to operate. These departments are divided into three branches: Legislative – Congress and Senate (establish legislation), Executive – President (sign treaties) and Judicial – Supreme Court (take appeals from courts and States, interpret the law). These characteristics of the U.S. constitution are also a point of differentiation between the two constitutions. Therefore, the main difference between the two constitutions is that the NZ constitution is not found in a single document whereas the U.S. constitution is compiled in a four-page document.

There are currently 53 countries a part of the commonwealth nations. Along with being a commonwealth country, New Zealand is a commonwealth realm (there are currently 16 commonwealth realms). Now in order to be a commonwealth realm, the nation must have the Monarch (currently, Queen Elizabeth II is the reigning monarch) as its head of state. Similarly to the how a commonwealth country works, a commonwealth realm is also voluntary and they may choose to leave at any given time. However, with being a commonwealth realm, New Zealand does not have to exchange ambassadors with other commonwealth members. They do nevertheless maintain diplomatic relations with other commonwealth members, along with having other benefits when traveling to other commonwealth realms. In addition, they also work with the monarchy by maintaining a governor-general in each realm, which is the crown’s personal representative in the commonwealth realm.

The New Zealand economy is somewhat similar to the global economy. The past two decades have witnesses increasing liberalization and industrialization, and the country has moved away from agrarian activities. Still, problems remain within the state and these have been exacerbated by the internationalized economic crisis. In fact, economic problems surfaced in New Zealand before the inception of the economic crisis in late 2007. Since then, the country's gross domestic product has contracted several times. Today, New Zealand has officially overcome the crisis, yet it still has to address some notable problems, such as the weakening of its infrastructure or an increased sensitivity to external demands and investments (Central Intelligence Agency, 2012).
