The Problem Of Population Control

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.

“If the United States should grow for the next two hundred years, at the same rate we grew during the last two hundred years there would be three times as many people in the United States than in entire world today. Such a scenario is not only a nightmare- it is likely impossible, America at some point, must stabilize its population.”

Overpopulation is an issue that many persons fail to bring attention, but don’t know the underlying effects that it can have on the United States itself. The hardships of overpopulation, affects the economy, the available of resources, and also the success of the future generations to come. Without much thought, someone may have children not knowing that it can affect the livelihood of the future generations who plan to land that job or that position they were aspiring to get. There are those individuals that continue having children, knowing that they are not financially capable of supporting another innocent child. In result this negatively affects the quality of living. If there are more births, it foreshadows that there are more jobs to be created, which causes employment hard to acquire, nevertheless, causing the economy to make a turn for the

In order to solve this issue our country has developed a strategic plan. According to the U.S Census Bureau, approximately 8 billion people are in this planet, with about one million arriving every five days. The United Nations have estimated that the population at the end of the century will be near eleven billion. If this occurs, our country and the entire planet will suffer. Our country has developed a plan which will help not only our country to stay away from overpopulating but the world as a whole. By doing so our resources and economy will better, and we will be able to assist our people with health insurance and welfare. Our three step plan includes dealing with hunger and food production, next unemployment, and last contraception, family planning, and

Throughout the last few hundred years, humans have built a foundation. Compared to all of the other animal species on Earth, humans are the most intelligent. We have built houses everywhere, developed a system to sustain ourselves, and now inhabit almost every piece of land on earth. Humans are smart, strong, and know how to fend for themselves. But, humans have a tendency to take it too far, and we have already done so. There have been numerous advancements over the past few hundred years which could ultimately lead to the downfall of the human race. The main issue is overpopulation due to the advancements in technology and general knowledge. The statistics from an article by Kenneth Smail show that “In the year 1900, there were almost 2 billion humans living on Earth. Throughout the 1960’s, the baby boom, there were 3 billion humans on Earth. Today in 2016, there are just over 7 billion humans living on Earth.” Currently, we have taken up just over half of all available land on this planet, and with increased amounts of people having kids, our population will only increase. Overpopulation is becoming a serious problem all around the world, especially in countries such as China and India. There are many global problems associated with overpopulation that are becoming more and more prevalent, which will all have dangerous effects on the foundation that humans have

The world population is only growing. The U.N. predicts that from today’s 7.5 billion we will reach 9.3 billion by the year 2050. (World Population Prospects n.p) In New York Times author Nicholas Kristof’s article, The Birth Control Solution, Kristof attempts to promote family planning as a solution to many of the world’s problems. He will do this by giving examples that an out of control global population causes poverty, conflict, and environmental damage; and that family planning would be a cost effective solution.

Imagine if humans were not allowed to have babies. This is what people in the story “The Giver” go through but do not even know it! In their life they have a laborer that delivers the babies and the people in the community (basically a suburb) have to sign up to parent a baby. What if people could not feel love. Population control involves things like abortion and adoption and how both can be cruel things but other times not. Places like china enforce it for food reasons and climate reasons. However, humans should be able to have as many children as they would like all around the world.

The exponential population growth of the human species has created a mass debate for centuries. A great speculation exists that involves the sustainability of the human species, along with other species, into the distant future. Over the years, as the numbers steadily rise the governments of several countries limited the number of children per household in order to limit the exponential growth of the human race. Some scientists believe that the world will inevitably make the novel “Brave New World” by Aldous Huxley, a living reality. Which concerns some readers because if the government dictates how the population increases, it will also dictate all other actions as well, stripping citizens of their individuality.

Population in the world is growing rapidly and civilians don’t realize the consequences of having too many people in this world. Just a few of the consequences are, homeless people, food shortages, and unemployment. With an increase of people, resources are quickly being used up. Should America try to mimic China’s population control law that couples are only allowed up to two children? Population control will help the world because it will eliminate food shortages, reduce the amount of trash, and stabilize the economy.

The United States’ population is growing at an alarming rate. Overpopulation is the condition where the population is rising rapidly and the resources cannot support it. The

During the 1950s through the 1980s many were concerned with population growth and what it would do to our society and the planet in which we live. The concerns were so heavy that nations such as China, India, and Iran enacted policies during that time to curve over population. Historically human population control had one goal and that was to increase the rate in which we grow. The Roman Catholic Church has always opposed the use of contraceptives, abortion, or sterilization as general practice in regards to population control. This opinion of the church has largely shaped how we live. Because of this influence opinions of rethinking population control have been largely stifled. Harry Harrison’s Make Room! Make Room! Published in 1966, explores New York City in 1999. During this time an approximately 35 million people reside in the City. As natural resources disappear, Harrison explores the consequences of an over fertile society.

The United States population is growing rapidly. At a rate of 0.7% per year currently, that equates to about 9 million new people a year, after the number of deaths are accounted for. With the number of people seen on the streets rising and the number of incarcerated criminals “dropping” to around 0.2%, it is difficult to see where all these new people are going to fit into society. As hard as it is to imagine a new baby born every eight seconds, that is the reality currently facing America. However, while this type of population growth is likely going to cause America’s demise, another country is currently populating at a rate even America cannot compete with: India. At an astonishing 1.7% increase per year, India is currently populated with almost 900 million more people than the United States. With less than half the land size and an undeniable need for more resources to survive, India has been faced with the largest increase of population within the last century. However, unlike the United States, India’s government has taken crucial steps towards helping to control their population. Albeit, their methods are a bit unorthodox and incredibly appalling by Western standards. Regardless, in order to maintain a

Have you ever wondered what the answer to world problems is? World population control is one option, but it is not a good one. Some say that it would help improve life, and would help bring balance to the world. However, I believe that population control would not truly help anyone. World population control is not the answer to world problems, for it would take away human life, the right to have kids, and in the long run would not help any living thing.

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how overpopulation causes social problems. To do so you must take many things into consideration, such as different views of racial problems and conflicting definitions of a social problem. Social problems can be defined in many different ways. They effect everyone and some of us encounter problems everyday as a result of our race, religion, gender, or low income. Others experience problems from technological change or declining neighborhoods, others are affected directly by crime and violence in their own neighborhood, and sometimes definitions of social problems are changed by society because of changes around you.
