OVERPOPULATION: CRISIS OR CHALLENGE ?

OVERPOPULATION DEFINITION: The condition of having a population so dense as to cause a decline in population or in living conditions. To increase the population of a place so much that the amount of space, food, water, or other resources available to support it is insufficient to meet the needs and or demands.

BACKGROUND Throughout history, overpopulation has plagued humanity. When any population reaches a point where it becomes too large for the amount of available resources, people suffer from malnutrition, disease, and eventually starvation. It also has many harmful effects on the world around us.

HISTORY OF OUR EARTH’S POPULATION The human population of Earth first reached 1 billion in 1804, 2 billion in 1927, 3 billion in 1961, 4 billion in 1974 and 5 billion in late On October 12 th, 1999, the human population of Earth reached 6 billion. In most of our parents lifetimes the population has doubled from 3 billion in 1961 to the 6,087,592,800 it is today.

CURRENT STATUS According to the most recent world census, the current world population is about 6,205,857,370, and continues to change each day. Such a large population contributes to almost all forms of pollution, malnutrition, and starvation. There are just too many people on our planet to satisfy everyone's needs, and wants.

RECENT FLARE-UPS One of the most definite results of an overpopulation is occurring right now in our own backyards. California is in the middle of an extreme power crisis. There is just not enough power to meet the demands of all the people in California. The demand is greater than the available supply

REASONS FOR OVERPOPULATION: AND THE PROBLEMS THAT COME WITH IT GREED WASTEFUL HABITS IGNORENGE LACK OF CARE WEAK CENTRAL GOVERNMENTS OF THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES

ATTEMPTS TO END OVERPOPULATION - MANDATORY BIRTH CONTROL - INCENTIVES TO HAVE LESS CHILDREN - PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS LIKE PLANNED PARENTHOOD - GOVERNMENT FUNDING OF LITERATURE REGUARDING PLANNED PARENTHOOD - LET NATURE TAKE ITS COURCE

OUTCOME THE OUTCOME OF THE OVERPOPULATION, WHAT EVER IT IS, IT IS GOING TO BE DUE TO A DRASTIC CHANGE IN THE WAY PEOPLE IN OUR WORLD LIVE. PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD WILL HAVE TO UNITE FOR A COMMON CAUSE.

SOLUTION IF THEIR WERE ONE CLEAR WAY TO COMBAT OVERPOPULATION IT WOULD NO LONGER BE AN ISSUE. THEIR MAY NEVER BE A RESOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT THE NUMBER ONE THING THAT WE COULD TO DO STOP IT IS TO STOP THE IGNORENCE TOWARDS THE SEVERITY OF THIS PROBLEM. ONCE WE REACH THAT STAGE, IT IS TIME FOR THE WORLD TO WORK TOGETHER AS A WHOLE FOR ONE COMMON GOAL.
