Birth Control Should Be Implanted

Improved Essays
I agree with both statements to a certain degree. The first is more of an intelligent observation of humanity than a solution to the problem, and the second could have the poetical for dire consciences. I agree that some form birth control should be implanted, but “an aggressive program of population control by means acceptable within its own culture.” Sounds like it could have far more impactions than just birth control. With that being said, overpopulation is a problem that will only continue to get worse with time. The earth can only support so much life, and with that in mind we should pay attention to use the resources that we have with

    In society we experience a lot of problems that could have devastating effect on our planet and our society. These problems can range anywhere from pollution, to dictatorships, to even over population; if these problems are not controlled they could end up to the destruction of the world or possibly even a dystopian society. We as a society take these real world possibilities into consideration and look for the outcome in the form of literature. We imagine all the possibilities of an extraordinary event or catastrophe happening that if or when the time comes the people of our planet will be prepared. Although we try to be prepared by imagining all situations that could possible happen literature cannot explain how to fix the problem but it can give us ideas on how to fix it.…

    There are 7 billion 58 billion people on the planet and that number grows every day. The overpopulation is something that worries many people and many have different views on how we should combat it. Garrett Hardin writes about what he thinks we should do about this problem as well as the dwindling resources, and the ever so controversial topic of immigration in his essay, “Lifeboat ethics” Hardin's thesis is that the wealthy countries should not help the poor ones. Well, I think that he makes some very strong points I have to disagree with his thesis. Scientific, medical and technological advances have changed the world we live in today for the better and with these advances we should be able to find several ways in combating these problems without being as harsh as Hardin would have us be.…

    Humans must face the inevitable fact that one day the Earth will either become overpopulated or fail to produce the quantity of resources required to sustain the population. On the Earth, us humans remain very limited to what we can accomplish and create by the resources available within the planet's geosphere. Already, the price of precious metals such as gold, platinum, and uranium skyrocket because of their very low supply and very high demand. In the distant future, many of the resources we are currently accustomed to being so abundant will become just as scarce. Even through endeavors to conserve the use of Earth's resources, we are still limited by increasing scarcity and inevitably depletion.…

    Things such as fossil fuel, minerals, water, and trees are called natural resources. They are provided by the Earth so that human can use it to produce a much more elaborate product such as desks, gasoline, and shelters.

As an undergrad student who’s majoring in Environment Engineer, I strongly believe that the world should be more concern and preserve our natural resources, otherwise, we would have no food left to feed our hungry stomach and no fuel to transport and travel. As a result, there would be no one left in this planet we so called it “home.”…
