One of the biggest problems with the world today is our rapidly growing global population. With the
current population being at over 6 billion, every second five people are born and two people die
which means the population grows by 3 people per second. I predict that if we do not do something
about this problem soon, the Earth is going to reach it's maximum capacity and we will slowly run
out of resources, which could cause wide-spread famine and eventually lead to the population
dropping down to a normal level again, or perhaps there may be a natural disaster such as a
worldwide earthquake that would leave only a select 1000 people living. We need to act now to
prevent a disaster such as this happening. I believe that if we teach sex education properly in all of
our schools, and the people of the world are able to accuire birth control easily when they need it
we can stop this expeditiously growing problem.
Our survival depends on population control and also better management of our precious
natural resources. Because we are very limited in the amount, natural resources need to be
managed accordingly. We should plan a new way to manage the planets natural resources. As our
population grows, most of our problems will only worsen. These problems include air and water
pollution, not enough fresh water, too many overcrowded schools, quality of life may become
worse, taxes increase, crimes increase, people with out jobs or homes, soil pollution.
The chance of having one natural disaster take down all of the population but a select few
is extremely slim, but possible. Earth has a unique way of working, and if there are too many
people on the planet, mother nature may take control. We need to find other methods of controlling
the population so that we do not have to suffer through death or the death of loved ones.
We can stop this problem, but it won't just happen, people have to do s...
