Population Overpopulation

the population is said to reach 9 billion by 2050. The overpopulation of humans is causing destructive impacts on the environment and a high demand for resources. One destructive impact would be climate change because of the exceeding rate of humans, causing pollution in the air. While the Earth is having a tough time sustaining particular resources, the high demand causes the earth to force to get its nonrenewable resources. Overpopulation can lead to dangerous impacts of pollution, depleted resources, habitat loss, etc. Overpopulation is a controversial topic. While there are those who are not paying attention to its effects, the world is displaying its resources will soon disappear due to the depletion of nonrenewable resources such as water, oil, and soil. Addressing the problems and concerns of overpopulation now, can help save the lives of individuals in the future, LITERALLY!

Population Growth is an issue that exists in today’s world that needs to be confronted before it becomes out of hand. The population itself has reached overwhelming numbers making it a problem that could turn to be dangerous. The amount of humans that the earth can support or the carrying capacity is slowly rising but at a much slower rate than the population growth rate. The increasing growth rate has its negative effects environmentally, agriculturally, socially, and economically and also has its positive effects nationally, and economically. The government is brainstorming and trying to come up with ways to decrease

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.

Overpopulation is one of the biggest concerns of humanity’s. Overpopulation is a drain on natural resources, living space, opportunity, and the world at large. Mother nature cannot hope to provide enough sustenance for the land. Overpopulation is about us human, we are the smartest species on this planet after all; we make all the decision on this planet. At this world we don't play by our own rules, we play with by the rule that Mother Nature has created for all the species on the planet so we are all equal.

The United States already had an overpopulation problem. Now that the population is growing even more we have more cities and states being overpopulated. According to Support U.S. Population Stabilization (SUSPS), if our population trend continues, we will be able to add enough population to create another New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Baltimore, San Francisco, Indianapolis, San Jose, Memphis, Washington D.C., Jacksonville, Milwaukee, Boston, Columbus, New Orleans, Cleveland, Denver, Seattle, and El Paso - plus the next 75 largest cities in the U.S. - by 2020. According to Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), low-ranking countries have high population growth and high ranking countries have lower population

In October 12, 1999, the world's population has reached to 6 billion people. about only 12 years later (October 31, 2011) the world has gone up to 7 billion. Many people on the planet are worried about the world population going too high. They fear that too many people would result in starvation and quick depletion of resources. Some people believe that we should have some type of law that would limit the number of children we can have in each family. Something similar has come true in China about 30 years ago. In September 25, 1980, China's One-Child Policy has been created. This policy keeps parents from having more than one baby with the exception of twins, triplets, quadruplets, and so on. Parents may also have

“Overpopulation is an undesirable condition where the number of existing human population exceeds the carrying capacity of Earth. Overpopulation is caused by number of factors. Reduced mortality rate, better medical facilities, depletion of precious resources are few of the causes which results in overpopulation.” In today’s society most Americans have at least five children, this can include one person who has five kids that was from failed relationships, marriage, or mistakes. The amount of children that are born per year in the U.S is 3,999,386 last year alone. The U.S alone has over three hundred million people, making us the third largest nations. The U.s is the only population that is experiencing significant population growth. Its population may double before the end of the century. If the limitation of how much children each American can have decrease to two children then we can put a control on overpopulation.

"Unlike plagues of the dark ages or contemporary diseases we do not understand, the modern plague of overpopulation is soluble by means we have discovered and with resources we possess. What is lacking is not sufficient knowledge of the solution but universal consciousness of the gravity of the problem and education of the billions who are its victim." This was said by Martin Luther King, Jr on May 5, 1966. If this was said almost 49 years ago by one of the greatest leaders of American history, why hasn’t the issue of overpopulation been solved yet? Simply because we lack the universal consciousness of the serious issues overpopulation bring and the education required on how to prevent it. The world just can’t support every single human being if we continue to ignore the issue. So what would happen globally if the demand for natural resources is greater than the supply? There will be conflicts and wars, environmental degradation and climate change. In addition to having a high demand for natural resources and a low supply, it will also cause a rise in unemployment and raise the cost of living.

The topic of overpopulation has different perspectives regarding whether or not it is happening as well as its apparent effects of both the environment and its inhabitants. The idea of human overpopulation being a problem most clearly begins around the time of Thomas Robert Malthus’ publishing of An Essay on the Principle of Population as It Affects the Future Improvement of Society, with Remarks on the Speculations of Mr. Godwin, M. Condorcet, and Other Writers. In his writing, Malthus describes how the growth of the human population will always outgrow the resources required to maintain it. “The increase of population will take place, if unchecked, in a geometric progression, while the means of subsistence will increase in only an

Overpopulation is an undesirable situation where the number of existing human populace surpasses the carrying capability of Earth. There are main factors that are contributing overpopulation such as the rising birth rate and declining of mortality rate. Overpopulation occurs when the birth rate surpasses the mortality rate. Birth rate is currently increasing due unprotected and premarital sex. Every day, as estimated by UNICEF, there are 350,000 babies being born. That means 255 mothers are giving birth per minute or 4.3 babies are born per second. While death rate is diminishing because of the technology that improved created better medical treatments and developed high standard of public health. The number of babies born should be equal to the number of people that die in order for the

The world would be a better place without many atrocities; terrorism, crime and prejudice to name just three but the list is endless. Religious intolerance... poverty... greed... environmental pollution... over farming... the decimation of the rain forests... exploitation of animals... climate change... plastic pollution. All these issues can only get worse as world population increases.

When we think of population density most people aren't positive on this is actually means. In this essay, I will state why population density is becoming a problem in today's society and how this is having an effect on our environment, political, and economic state of countries. According to dictionary.com population density is "the number of people living per unit of an area (e.g. per  square mile); the number of people relative to the space occupied by them"

Should governments fine people who have too many biological children in order to reduce environmental damage due to overpopulation?

The convoluted problems concerning overpopulation remain to be a highly discussed issue in various countries throughout the world. Some issues that are in support of overpopulation include the opportunity to place innovative ideas into action, stimulating the economy, job openings in new growing industries, increased human resources, encourages competition, advancement in urbanization and development, demand for industries like farming, and allows for cheaper and more readily available products to be produced. According to an article on Chron, “More homes must be constructed, more food produced, more clothing manufactured. Even during periods of population growth, new technology may reduce the number of employees needed in one industry, while the needs of the people create new jobs in another.” By providing job opportunities in different industries, citizens in overpopulation areas would have the chance to explore new careers and would be playing an important role in supporting local businesses. Some values that are in support of overpopulation include quality of life, competition, and the right to live.

Perhaps one solution for the overpopulation problem is to provide all children, who have reached puberty with Reproductive Education License of Four (REL4). REL4 is a two-step solution program that will provide education and contraception, which will decrease the population growth. Jennifer Weeks (2015) article, “Global Population Growth,” discusses the number of women without access to birth control. Research conducted by a nonprofit organization showed nearly 225 million women globally, including those looking to prevent conception, were in need of birth control (Weeks, 2015, p. 2). This evidence demonstrates the need for contraception worldwide and REL4 will provide for this need. If contraceptives are not offered worldwide the
