It will be difficult to feed that many people. There are many problems with population growth and the laws associated with it, but there are also ways to counteract these issues. By spreading awareness, creating laws, and more family planning we can prevent population from growing out of control. There are many conflicts that population growth

Overpopulation is an undesirable condition where the number of an existing organism exceeds the carrying capacity of the earth. It is simply when the world has more than the number of an organism it can support.

Stop Multiplying! An Overpopulation Crisis Have you ever heard the metaphor “packed in like sardines”? You could only imagine how uncomfortable it would be. Picture a couple.

Dan Brown’s Inferno, a chillingly grim picture of a potential future, is a wonderful piece of satire. His views on overpopulation take a surgically-precise stand on what statistics predict to be true. In fact, his novel has no thematic connection to Dante’s classic work of the same name; although allusion is made to it, the real topic is overpopulation.

The human race as of the twenty-first century is similar to a parasite. Humans consume everything we can and do not help those resources grow back. The human race is also driving animals out of their habitats, taking over those habitats and in that process putting more animals on the endangered species index. The human population needs to be reduced in order to
