Question

Do you think the world is populated? The world has to much babies and we have to stop! Plz vote me best anwer?

Answer 1

Yes i do but this answer always gets thumbs down ,So many people do not agree

People use and need land,so more and more is being changed to accommodate human growth and development

The necessary flora ,which permits life as we know it, is disappearing.

Eco-systems are being exchanged for desserts , concrete or roads.

World population has doubled in the last 50 years exceeding the growth of 4 million years (since we became homo Sapiens).

To satisfy the growing demand farmers are cultivating unstable lands , too steep or dry to be sustainable.

Mono cultures ,aided by chemicals Exhaust and pollutes the soil .

Adding to this the effects of overgrazing has resulted in large scale desertification.

Each year billions of tons of topsoil are blown or washed away by storms.

Over the last half century,

Population growth & rising incomes have tripled world grain demand from 640 million tons to 1,855 million

In the near future the global farming community will not be able to feed every body ,food prices will continue to rise.

NATURES POINT OF VIEW

In Nature exists such a thing as the law of Harmony and Equilibrium

Animals have lots of young when there is plenty of food ,and have little or none when the conditions are bad

when there is a plague of rabbits ,many foxes are born,

when there is no game lions ,and other predators have few cubs.

plants do roughly the same

All follow the LAW OF NATURE OF EQUILIBRIUM

everybody is welcome ,but nobody in excess.

we must co-exist on this planet and limit our numbers to our resources

All of Nature obeys these LAWS,but Humans put themselves above the LAW,and have bred themselves into a plague

It is a miracle that Nature has allowed us to get this far.

Everything else is set upon by plagues ,disease or predators ,when they exceed their allotted quantity,or there are Natural disasters .

There are two moments in the existence of a specie when extinction is likely,

when there are two few

And when there are too many.

PEOPLE

However population control has always been a very sensitive issue Because people get get very nervous when you go below the belt

Mans sexuality and very often how many kids hes got is proof of his masculinity and insurance for old age

with many possible incomes to assist him when he himself cannot work any more

the second point is HOW do we ethically control populations

poor areas with less education DEMONSTRATE THE HIGHEST NUMBERS OF TEEN AGE PREGNANCIES,

educated women have less children

But uneducated populations are more religious and more resistant to birth control.

to forcibly control populations is frowned upon to say the least

------------------------------...

Population control in the past and present

at a meeting in Kopenhagen in 1998 it was suggested to bring the world population down by 60%,one cannot help but wonder at how this would be archieved

War (past .present and future)

Natures way disease(today,past and future)

Manufactured disease(suspected today)

cures that kill(suspected today)

poisoned consumer goods (suspected today)

making children infertile or g*y,by raising the PH level in drinking water or even drinks (suspected today)

birth control,

Some Native peoples have always been aware of this

to limit the tribes number to as many as the tribe can afford to feed

in the past the Olmecs women ate yams to make them infertile,

Amazonian tribes have strict sexual rites that limit copulation in the conventional way.

And there were central Americans who sacrificed their excess children to the Gods

Today we have several methods but most reach only the educated ,i handed out condoms to an native Mazatecca comunity in Oaxaca ,and the church retrieved them all )

education on birth control(not enough,again the poor regions are excluded )

there are the strong methods such as in China with laws that limit childbirth per family.

Also a horrible concept.

.

------------------------------...

In the Netherlands after the war families were encouraged

to have few children because it is such a small country

not much bigger than Mexico city,

so it was physically impossible to fit a lot of people into the country ,There people can understand the concept of birth control,

But in larger countries many think of the family ,not the society as a whole

what happens if the country is full

wage war and kill everybody in another place to invade and settle there ,that would be the natural solution

In the past conquering countries encouraged the people to have many kids to be used as cannon fodder

or settling farmers needed many sons to provide labor,

one would have thought that we had progressed from that

But judging by many peoples reactions, many still cling to the old self centered or invasive philosophies

Answer 2

there are many population problems. lets take the city Uttar Pradesh in India. it is the size of colorado. colorado has a population of about 4 MILLION. Uttar Pradesh has a population of 177 MILLION!!! now this is not the only place with population problems. Japans is actually going down. they have a huge number of elderly, but some elementary school classes have one solo child in them.

basically each country (including ours) needs to be educated on their problem. some just dont have the knowledge of their problem due to some situations.   when we know our problem, we can work to a solution.

MAVERICK-- LETS BE POLITICALLY CORRECT, THEY ARE NOT "3RD WORLD COUNTRIES," BUT  "DEVELOPING" YOU SAID YOU WROTE A COLLEGE PAPER, DUE TO THE FACT YOU DIDNT KNOW YOUR MISTAKE, YOU JUST SHOWED HOW OLD YOU ARE, OR HOW IGNORANT YOU ARE. OR BOTH.

Answer 3

yes the world is becoming overpopulated...the human race is like a virus that can only survive by moving to a new location after using up all of the resources in one location.

therefore we must colonize other planets....unfortunately we are so far away from this that even if a huge global effort started tomorrow, we would probably all die out before that dream was fulfilled

Answer 4

the world is grossly overpopulated.

Answer 5

No, we do not have enough people on the planet.  The planet is not full.  There is plenty of room for more people.

Answer 6

Yes I think the world is to populated.

Answer 7

Yes, I think the world is over populated. I actually wrote a paper about this in one of my college english classes. The research I found out was that in countries that are developed like the USA, the population tends to stay the same or even go down due to work, environment, money, etc. In countries that are developing their population INCREASES almost expontially due to the fact that they have medical devices to live longer and are healthier and have contraceptive technology but don't use it because the need for more children to produce more economy is deemed necessary. And in 3rd world countries population tends to increase at a moderate pace because the birth mortality rate is huge and the average life expectancy is low.

But overall the world has a population capacity for each of the living organisims on this planet, why not one for the human race? From my research the world can only care for about 5 billion to 8 billion people and we are in that range. In order to combat population rise...it does sound unethical but it is natural selection....is to stop helping countries who cant support themselves. It isn't other countries responsibility for other countries mishaps. That is one way of fighting it...and I think it would work. A world food bank is totally for a type of "welfare" for underdevopled countries because they use it up and their population booms at the expense of other countries..

The simple fact is if you can't take care of your self why have kids or populate more? It is just moronic. But organizations like the UN promote that and it is sad.

Answer 8

The world is overpopulated.  But if we stop trying to make every country an industrialized society.  Then maybe the world won't be so overpopulated.

Answer 9

no,  the world is not overpopulated.

BUT the the world is under educated.

The world can sustain many more people.
