Introduction As of today’s date, the United States Census Bureau estimated the world’s population to be an astounding number of 7.151 billion, at around a growth rate of roughly 81 million annually, or 1.2% per year. On the other hand, nearly 600 years ago, the population was around 300 million (according to the CIA). Ever since improvements in agricultural productivity and medical advances, population growth has risen drastically over the years. However, when studies proved that it could possibly

future America will look like. I would base my answer on the projected circumstances I found in Joel E. Cohen’s paper called Human Population: The Next Half Century. If the population of the United States grows from 325 million to 400 million over the next 35 years, we will see a greater population in urban areas and the rural areas will turn into cities: “The urban population of developing regions will grow rapidly as people migrate from rural to existing urban areas and transform rural settlement

The human population is growing rapidly, and Earth doesn't have enough space for it. In 1967, Earth had a population of 3 billion, and only about 50 years later, that number had doubled into 7 billion. There are many reasons why our population is increasing so fast, in so little time, but I'll only go over two. The first, and foremost the most recognised reason, is the birth to death rate ratio. Every minute there is almost twice as many births then there are deaths; 200 births to 100 deaths. There

The human impact on the environment Mankind has evolved dramatically throughout the past recent decades, but this evolution is often perceived as having been at the expense of the environment. The large size corporations for instance create tons of debris each year, which pollutes the soils and the waters; people use a multitude of transportation means to get to one corner of the world to the other, but this generates the rapid consumption of the fossil fuels. The population of the modern day

Humans, along with any other living life form, need water and air to survive. “Water and air, the two essential fluids on which all life depends, have become global garbage cans,” said Jacques Cousteau. ("Effects of Overpopulation: Water and Air Pollution")

The author uses metaphor to compare shelter-carry animals to a human population. This comparison implies that introverts always carry a shelter that hide them from the outside world as a protection. Just like any animals, they were born in this way and it means that there are significant to be carried with them. Everything that appears to be useless exist on the world for a reason, and that unique trait becomes the power or tool that helps them through life and help them survive. As the quote suggest

Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the world population is expected to reach 9.6 billion by 2050. That’s two billion extra mouths to feed. If we want to avoid mass malnutrition, farmers will have to increase food production by 70% by 2050 (Isaacson 2015). Unfortunately, agriculture is already putting a strain on our limited natural resources. Humanity, thus, has a dilemma to solve: how do we feed the growing human population without depleting the natural resources and destroying the

The diversity of human population increases every day. With freedom, people have the will to express themselves in different aspects of a region, beliefs, or sexual orientation. Most recently, there has been an increase in cases of gay people in America, and the world over. Debate rages whether being gay is caused by hormones, genes, social and environmental factors or a combination of all these factors. Regardless of the cause, the general population is gradually accepting the gay community in the

The indefinite growth of the human population, has monumental impacts on the natural environment, not only in the UK, but around the globe. Architecturally, the entire process of designing and constructing a building, both domestic and not, can lead to the rapid exhaustion of natural resources across the planet. Building with environmental design strategies in mind not only combats the impact we as humans have on the natural environment, but also has considerable economic benefits, due to lower running
