    The Pros And Cons Of The Population Bomb

    The Population Bomb a theory developed by Paul Ehrlich in the 1960’s predicted that in less than two decades the overpopulation of the world would not be able to sustain itself leading to mass starvation and deaths. To achieve a more balanced carrying capacity he argued that population control at the family level would be necessary for society to continue to function. This type of thinking led to the implementation of population control programs, such as female sterilization that was forced upon women in undeveloped countries. Its 2016 and Ehrlich’s prediction did not come true still, continued global population growth along with increasing global climate change has once again ignited the debate on advocacy for population control.…

    Feasibility of Different Techniques for Providing Fresh Water to Arid Regions of the World.

    Everything which lives needs water to survive. There are a lot of places in the world where we can find such problem as lack of clean water, and most of these places are developing countries. These include areas in the north of China, India, and the western United States. Global climate change only exacerbates the problem of water shortage. The World population is currently 7 billion people, and each of them needs at least a liter of water a day. What is more, with the explosive growth of the world population, water scarcity is becoming more noticeably. Comprising over 80 percent of the earth surface and over 66 percent of human body, water will be the most important resource in the whole world forever. If oil, gas and coal will be enough humanity for 50-100 years, clean drinking water will end much earlier. Clean water is continuously renewed resource, but at the same time, it has come to an end. Dirty water is the cause of 80 percent of diseases in third world countries (Clarke, 1991). Likewise due to lack of water people on the earth will simply have nothing to eat, such as one kilogram figs need 2500 liters of water, and for the normal development of 1 hectare of wheat requires not less than 2000 liters of water. A lot of water is used not only for dinking, but for agriculture (around 90 percent). The purpose of this report is to determine feasibility of different techniques how to deliver or get clean water in arid regions of the world by the example of North Africa.…

    Nicholas Eberstadt The Demographic Future

    What is striking about the global decline in fertility rates is that they are not confined to the developed world. While virtually the entire developed world has fertility rates that are at or below replacement levels, this accounts for less than 20% of the world’s population. The vast majority of countries with sub-replacement fertility rates are in low-income countries such as China. This lack of socioeconomic correlation with fertility rates makes it difficult to predict when a country will enter such a state and how long it will last. This lack of socioeconomic correlation may be due to the developed world’s intervention in low-income and third world nations, both culturally and in the subsidized distribution of birth-control, abortifacients, and abortion services. A shrinking population due to reduced fertility rates invariably means an aging population. These two factors adumbrate a host of problems. An older workforce generally means a less healthy, less educated, and less tech-savvy workforce. Additionally, a dwindling working age population will mean that inefficiencies in…

    Henry Kissinger's Research

    Through this investigation, I was able to gain a deeper understanding of the research process of historians, and the challenges they face in this process. Like many of the historians whose works I read, my research was comprised of academic journal articles, theses of history scholars and government documents. And it was through the analyzing of the information I found that I came to my own conclusion about the central question of my investigation.…

    Demographic Winter and Its Effects on the Society

    For years, people have in mind that the world’s population has been increasing annually. While it is true that a daily increment of 215,060 and yearly growth of 1.10% is happening on our world population of 7,174,592,903 (United Nations, Department of Economic and Social Affairs Population Division, population Estimates, and Projections Sections), the demographic trend is actually changing in contrast to the beliefs of many. Historical events that occurred in the past, particularly the World Wars, have paved the way for the eradication of a large portion of mankind, but it also resulted to population explosion. The Baby Boom, a demographic phenomenon in Western countries, rose to fame wherein rapid growth in population was recorded around 1960s. This is usually ascribed within certain geographical bounds and when the number of annual births exceeds 2 per 100 women (or approximately 2% of the total population size) (Wikimedia Foudation, Inc). As the paper progresses, such belief will be proven as a myth these days.…

    How Does The Population Bomb In The 21st Century

    Over the decades of population growth, the world population already reached to billions in the 21st century. Poverty is one of the main causes of the rapid population growth. We also have to face the worst impacts of overpopulation on the environment, economics and human health. We need to clearly understand what the present situation is. We should try our best to find solutions by considering the causes and effects of overpopulation. If we cannot find common ground on how to move forward sustainably and ethically, we may see the exhaustion of natural resources and the destabilisation of our economy and society. I recommend family planning…

    Fertility Reduction

    Fertility Reduction

    Geographic area: Bangladesh Health condition: in the mid-970s, a Bangladeshi woman had more than six children on average. in combination with poor nutrition and lack of access to quality health services, this high fertility rate jeopardized the health of both the woman and her children. Beyond the health impact, high fertility and rapid population growth represented a major constraint to the country’s economic development and social progress. Global importance of the health condition today: More than 50 million women in the developing world who would like to limit or space their pregnancies do not currently use a contraceptive method. so, for example, about 6 percent of married women in india have this “unmet need.” in sub-saharan africa, where services are in relatively short supply, the unmet need is the greatest. Intervention or program: the Bangladesh family planning program has depended on a large cadre of female outreach workers going door to door to provide information, motivate clients, and provide commodities; the program has used mass media to stimulate a change in attitudes about family size. the program both contributed to and benefited from improvements in women’s status in Bangladesh during the past 30 years. Cost and cost-effectiveness: the program is estimated to cost about $00 million to $50 million per year, with about one half to two thirds of the funding coming from external donors. cost-effectiveness has been estimated at about $3 to $8 per birth averted, a standard measure for family planning programs. Impact: as a result of the program, virtually all women in Bangladesh are aware of modern family planning methods. the current use of contraceptives among married women increased from 8 percent in the mid-970s to about 60 percent in 2004, and fertility decreased from an average of more than six children per woman in 975 to slightly more than three. although social and economic improvements…

    How to Maintain a Sustainable Society

    Populations decline can arise from low birth rates, high death rated, net emigrations or any combination of these. In the modern world, low birth rates are the key. Seventy years ago the developed world adopted two-family norm. Today, its birth rates, with the exception of the United States, are below that norm and below the level required to maintain the population. In this particular situation, and in the absence of migration, almost all the developed world would face population decline in the short or medium term (Coleman & Rowthorn, 2009).…
