Arguments Against Human Overpopulation
Human Overpopulation Increasing human overpopulation throughout the world is one of the
biggest global issues addressed in the 21st century. This concept negatively affects almost every
aspect of society: extinction of plants/animals or habitats, over use of natural resources, climate
change, and other environmental problems ("As World's Human"). This continual predicament needs
to be corrected by intensified human productive abilities and a global law that will stimulate
positive outcomes across the world. The problem that heightens or causes virtually every dire global
problem is rapid population growth ("Human Species Threatens"). Human numbers are expected to
boost almost by fifty percent. By 2050, the population is expected to...show more content...
Keeping food production up to speed with the growth of the world's population is possible.
However, it will be a challenge to not exhaust Earth's resources such as drinkable water (Kunzig).
Overpopulation and haphazard human activity has polluted rivers across the world. Untreated
sewage, chemicals, and garbage are dumped into water oceans, seas, lakes, rivers, streams around
the world. As a result, half the world does not have access to safe drinking water. Specifically,
Asia is the worst. Indonesia's Citarum is so filthy, the water cannot be seen. The Ganges, Hindus,
Yangtze, and other rivers have become complete sewage. India may have the worse situation; the
tap water is even unsafe to drink. The sickness from drinking the precarious water is known by
locals as "Delhi Belly" ("Water, Water Everywhere..."). Water is essential to life; this is a huge issue.
Together China and India make up thirty–five percent of humanity. China has kept up its agricultural
output, and decreased its population growth. India is in total contrast; the country is depleting its
resources and increasing its population (Global Opposing View Points 34).
Even the rainforests have felt a large impact. Every year 20,000 square kilometers is taken away
from the Amazon Rainforest. This forest is important for maintaining biodiversity, producing
oxygen, purifying the air and water, and maintaining migration habits and habitats (Global

Speech On Overpopulation
In the present era, there are many issues that pose a threat to our way of life. Overpopulation is one
of the most serious threats to mankind.Overpopulation is a serious problem that will eventually have
an extremely negative effect on our countries and our planet. Overpopulation is generally defined as
an inability of the environment to support the existing population of human or other living things.
Overpopulation is an undesirable condition where the number of existing human population exceeds
the carrying capacity of earth. If a country or city is overpopulated, it has too many people for the
amount of food, materials, and space available there. Overpopulation is caused by number of factors.
Reduced mortality rate, better medical facilities,...show more content...
One of these has been the ability to save lives and create better medical treatment for all. A direct
result of this has been increased lifespan and the growth of the population. In the past fifty or so
year, the growth of population has boomed and has turned into overpopulation. Every corner of
India is a clear display of increasing population. Whether we are in a metro station, airport, railway
station, road, highway, bus stop, hospital, shopping mall, market, temple, or even in a social
/ religious gathering, we see all these places are overcrowded at any time of the day. This is a clear
indication of overpopulation in the country. Overpopulation is a function of the number of
individuals compared to the relevant resources, such as the water and essential nutrients they need to
survive. It can result from an increase in births, a decline in mortality rates, an increase in
immigration, or an unsustainable biome and depletion of resources. Overpopulation is a term that
refers to a condition in which the density enlarges to a limit that provokes the environmental
deterioration, a drop in the quality of life, or a population collapse.Overpopulation is a function of

Italy Overpopulation Essay
Italy's Population Problems and Possibilities
Italy, a beautiful country which currently received a couple seismic surface waves or on a lighter
note an earthquake. As we all know our earth is small, so small that we are too much. Global
warming is also affecting our earth, making more natural disasters happen.
Speaking logically we should control the earth's population, but speaking in an emotionally friendly
way we should not control it. Over 200 people died in Italy's recent earthquake which reached the
magnitude of 6.2. With a density of 203 people per square kilometer, and Italy being the 23rd most
populated country, Italy has pretty good population level, the reason why it is a bit overpopulated is
because of the illegal immigrants

We Can Stop Overpopulation Essay
Overpopulation is when the demand of humans is too high for the supply of the earth. Many
people do not consider this a threat or have even considered it. Many scientists believe that the
world can hold up to 10 billion people which will be in the next 100 years. (Wolchover, 4) Will
you or even your children be alive? To many of you the answer is yes. If the world's fertility rate is
above 2.1 children per woman then it is something we need to be conscious about. We can look at
the history, present, and future of overpopulation to decide what the next step will be.
The first time the world's population reached over one billion was estimated to be around A.D.
1804. How come it took us since the beginning of humanity to the year 1800 to...show more content...
We no longer have to wait a month for our crops to grow we can simply go to the store and buy it.
If a line is more than 10 minutes long many Americans will not use it they will just buy it online,
they never have to leave the house. In a study done in 1995 by the Natural Resources Defense
Council they created a graph showing us that the US population consists of 5% of the world's
population but we create 75% of the world's hazardous waste. (Cooper, 603) As American's we do
not think about the affect we have on the environment.
American's fertility rate is 2.06 children per woman, this means that the population of the United
States is at a slow decline. (CIA, 121) This is pretty good news, but this only accounts for people
that are in the US right now. More and more immigrants, legal and illegal, are coming into the US
that means 800,000 legal (1.1 million counting illegal) immigrants come into the US annually. 1.6 %
of the United States population in 2013 was migrants. (Worldometers, 9) Would it be to our benefit
if we lower that number with border control or is birth control easier? (Cooper, 609) Many countries
around the world are trying different population tactics.
As many people have heard the Chinese have opted to the one child policy. This policy is to ensure
the number of people in the country starts to fall. China's population count is at 1.38 billion people.
(Worldometers, 8) In a survey done in 2008 76% of the Chinese population
