Overpopulation: Earth’s Destruction

Amanda Broxton Instructor Sabel Composition II Cause and progeny Essay May 28th, 2009 Overpopulation Earths Destruction Can you picture it? On one fount of the world, in the middle of flathither, a potentially beautiful child is just skin and bones on the other side, another animal that can not be replaced has gone extinct. Somewhere there is a woman washing her few belongings in a dirty, polluted river. These and several(prenominal)(prenominal) other events equal them are taking place all over the world. The cause?Over popularization, on which has been the root of many problems and is caused by many others, but do not worry there might be some hope in fixing it. Due to over popularization, one of Earths potential wipeout is caused by over-production of the land. From more(prenominal) and more animals going extinct that can not be replaced because there isnt room for them to live on. Also because of this, there is not enough food and clean water for humanness and animals a ilk. Plus, humans are not conserving resources as they should and are taking prime land to pile more and more hoi polloi on. Environ mentalists have long been concerned about the resources threatened by rapidly outgrowth human populations, focusing on phenomenon such as deforestation, desertification, air pollution and global warming. But the worst-case scenario for heap experiencing overpopulation, according to Lawrence Smith, president of the Population Institute, is a lack of fresh, clean water. If the water goes, the species goes, he said. (Hoevel, 2008, para. 9). Equally measur fitting is the fact that this is all caused by us Homo sapiens looking for a better lifestyle.We now have new medicines and technologies to help us live longer by healing every short thing that might be wrong with us. Some of those things were introduced by Mother Nature to kill us off to keep everything equal. We also have higher ingest rates produced by more people having wellnessier births and mu ltiple births. Furthermore, these children are living through earlier childhood killing diseases with the aforementioned medicines and technologies. Until recently, birth rates and death rates were about the same, keeping the population stable. People had many children, but a large number of them died before age five.During the Industrial Revolution, a period of history in europium and North America where there were great advances in science and technology, the success in reducing death rates was attributable to several factors (1) in-creases in food production and distribution, (2) improvement in public health (water and sanitation), and (3) medical technology (vaccines and antibiotics), along with gains in education and standards of living within many developing nations. Without these attributes hand over in many childrens lives, they could not have survived common diseases like measles or the flu.People were able to fight and cure deadly germs that once killed them. (Kinder, 2 009, para. 10). Not to worry though, there are some ship canal that this inequality maybe reversed. They may not be what many people would approve of, but at least they are ideas of what we could do. That this one for instance, at the end of each month we would tally all the births. consequently picking at random from those people that are on death-row or even in prison or jail for life for longer then ten years, would have the honor of helping with the grading of the birth-to-death ratio.If nothing else, after a few years, this should deter hard crime. Each country and/or tell would be responsible for The Equalization Program. There is also the idea of reinstating the two birth polity (China had this policy at one time) with a few minor adjustments. One being that right after the minute of arc birth there would be a mandatory sterilization of the mother and father, and any other men over fifty years of age would also have to be sterilization.Those that wanted another child wo uld then have to adopt those children that unfortunately dont have a home. In conclusion, certain(p) over popularization has many causes and it may cause many problems, but at least there are some solutions that can be looked at. I did not say that many people would like them but theyre there. In the end, I hope that things can be equaled out so that we do not have to put such a strain on our one and only earth. If we set down it, there is not another one that we can start over on. Work cited
