I read Life Boat Ethics: The Case against helping the poor. This happened to be one of my personal favorites of the essays I have read out of this book. The essay talks about how the world is growing so rapidly in some places and it has a lot different outlooks on the world compared to most things I have read. It talked about all the poor countries and poor people the world and that if they keep reproducing there will be so many people in this world that we will not be able to support all of them.…
Worldwide population growth is an issue that grows more and more urgent with each passing day. Our earth is nearing its capacity, and its important that we address this issue to avoid a worldwide state of emergency. Garrett Hardin and Clark Wolf both discuss this issue in detail, and offer their own solutions on how we should solve this problem. However, while Hardin presents a valid view of our world population problems, Wolf provides a more well rounded argument, and goes further to provide reasonable, effective solutions that target the true source of the issue. Garrett Hardin, in his essay “Lifeboat Ethics,” describes the problem of current world population growth, and how we are making this already very serious issue even worse by living…

You do not see doctors withholding statin drugs to patients with heart problems simply because our earth is overpopulated. In fact, if we were to argue over means of population control, then it would make more sense to save the young and healthy than the old and sick. More of my opponents, specifically authoritarians, would perceive my ideas to be unrealistic and shortsighted, that we as a civilization will not be able to function without governmental control of a strong military, but there are plenty of concrete examples of countries who do not have armed forces that are doing just fine. Even if complete disposal of our military is not found to be plausible, we can…

During phase one, the country is pre-industrial. There are high birth rates and high death rates, making the population stable. High birth rates can be from the cause of lacking in contraception, educating on preventing pregnancy, and also children who are needed in working. High death rates can be from the cause of lacking in proper medical care, bad living conditions, lack of sanitation, and also poverty. During phase two, the country is in a transitional phase.…
Should American families have a two children max rule to limit population growth? American families should have a two children max rule because the world is already overpopulated enough, we're running out of resources, and children are already starving. Excessive amounts of children can be dangerous to the economy. America is most definitely crowded, much like the rest of the world. People live so close to each other nowadays if you both were to reach out the window of your home at the same time, you could shake hands.…

Space exploration is a vital part to how the world is today. People believe that it is just a waste of money, but in truth it could save the entire human race in the future. Without space exploration, we will overpopulate the earth. The earth does not have enough space for the rate of people being born. Also with overpopulation, means that we will also use up all of our natural resources.…
