from my environmental science i got a chance to know that we r using the resource and our earth at the rate of 1.3. it does mean that we are using 1 and the half earth. over population is not causing only a problem to our resources but aslo to many factor. such as:
1. over population is leading to environmental problems
2. expotential population growth and develpoment leads to faster deplition of resources
3. population grows expotentially
4. pollution
now the issue is how to control the existing population. there are many and many methods of controlling the population. educating people, awareness programme, contraceptives etcs
in my openion i think there are adeduate methods of contraceptives. people should know about the contraceptives and start using them if they dont want babies. in my openion people should think twice for having babies if the economic status of the individuals is weaker.
i think abortion and contraceptives are two different things. one contrls not to have conception and another is if something happens in life and baby is cusing problem or mother dont want to have that child for some reason she can abort the child.
teenages should have free access of certain contraceptive like condoms and birth contrlling pill. it help to control the population as well as to continue teenagers life in a environment so that they can continue their education without any barriers. and government should consider this situation and make a flexible law for this situation.
nothing is impossible. but our country is a demacratic and a capitalist country. noone can poke to anybodys personal affair and life to do something. but i think this is an global issue. if the huge priority is given and incentives to the population of the united states than could work.
the control of population by controlling the immirants and illigal people of the united nation sounds very political to me. but if the visas rated is dropped to zero and all the illigal immigrants are deported than of course there will be a significant change in the population of the united nation. but i dnt belive that the action of population control with this kind of action will be appropriate.
some country use involuntary population control methos too. i learn these things from one of my classmate. she told us that government mixed some kinds of chemical in the public drinking water which prevent from man and woman to have a conception. in china forced abortion is practiced. but these things dont work in all the world and a postindustrialised country like united states.
population growth and the resource use, and pollution are directly propertional. high population high resource use. and high pollution. economy is directly affected by the population growth. because more resource is used of the nation. and deplition of the resource. it affects the ecomony of the family too. it drives them poorer and poorer. this this the main problem of the developing country that is poverty.
