Space Adoption

Superior Essays
Currently throughout the world adoption is made to be difficult, while it is not the mean of the country they are wanting to find their citizen the best home possible. There needs to be a global push for adoption “Worldwide, there are an estimated 15,000 to 20,000 international adoptions per year” (Bartholet). In some Islāmic countries they prohibit adopting of any means, whether it be from within the country or in a foreign country. While in some South American countries they require the adoptive parents to go to the country for screening processes among other test. The amount of barriers put into place and restrictions that we have on our own race is absurd and ludicrous. Countries need to open their borders and befriend those around them, …show more content…
A long-term solution to the problem of overpopulation is space exploration and colonization. While this may be many years out from being able to colonize a planet it is still a viable resource to take advantage of and make it of use. NASA is a strong believer in the benefits of space and what it can do for us “solar panels to implantable heart monitors, from cancer therapy to lightweight materials, and from water‐purification systems to improved computing systems and to a global search‐and‐rescue system” (Benefits Stemming) those are a few of the things space has already brought to us along with many others, the capacity for new ideas and innovation is endless. Exploring space could even lead to solving other problems with overpopulation, we could use data suggested by other planets and even be able to make more in-depth hypothesis about global warming and how we could solve it. Not only do are we able to fix problems we caused it also allows to be able to stop problems that could arise in the future. It allows humans to be better protected from any type of attack, natural disaster, or accident if something were to happen we could potentially already be equipped to handle it, not as one nation but as a population standing united as one to overcome the adversity. Space is one of the few times in history where the world has come together for the greater good …show more content…
While we do not know a certain timeline Future Space offers us seven steps that they believe would be the step to settling on a different planet. Basically what the steps call for step-by-step are: find a cheaper mode of travel, have a base of operation like the ISS, build a gateway earth, have a reusable tug which will be used for transport, filling stations for the gateway earth, interplanetary vehicle, and lastly a way to live of the land we land on. The things found in the seven steps will not be completed for the foreseeable future, it will take many generations to complete but it is very crucial to be able to mitigate the problem of overpopulation. It may be a stretch to say that space exploration and colonization will be able to solve the problem of overpopulation. Although it is not stretch to say that it will be able to start the war against it. Anything to do with space is still years off and maybe the disastrous effects would have already happened, we as a race would be able to learn from our mistakes and build a new civilization that would be cherished and preserved and not pilfered and trampled

    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…

    The idea of space exploration is a trending topic with those who have a fascination with the “Final Frontier” (otherwise known as space). Some people believe that humanity should invest into programs that benefit the idea and efforts of space exploration to make it a reality. They believe that humanity's expansion into space would benefit mankind with all the knowledge and possible materials we would gain from its expansion ; they believe it’s well worth the investment and would return profit back. However, there are others who believe that space is a threat to humanity and the sheer fact that we have many unanswered questions about space can, and will, harm us.…

    America could lose its global power if they don’t get back into space. I know that NASA just shut down manned missions due to budget cuts, and if we don’t go back to space, the U.S. will seem weak. This could cause war, and make more budget issues. However, if they start sending more people to space the U.S. will have more debt, and might be unprepared when a war occurs. The U.S. should go to space because almost all of the countries the U.S. has been competing with have access to space, and therefore the U.S. should too.…

    Our move to Mars would certainly have a great effect on the population on both the planets Earth and Mars. The population of Earth would firstly be affected by those who go to colonize Mars and secondly by any other restrictions put upon them to ensure the survival of the Mars colony. The population of Mars would be affected by the initial colony arrival and affected more with the growth of the colony over time. As the colony on Mars goes on the population on Mars will likely rise and the exponential growth of Earth’s population will likely shrink. The Mars colony is planned to have some slightly different population growth strategies than others.…

    Space exploration leads the pathway of perception and can be useful in multiple types of technology. With the government in a federal deficit, why was NASA the program that had such a drastic cutback? Space programs and space exploration should be better funded by the government. Although there needs to be a decrease in government spending on programs because of the government deficit, NASA should not have received such a large portion of their program spending cut. NASA has possible plans for the future, as it is most likely that Earth will reach its carrying capacity at some point.…

    Rachael Meinders Population Problem Essay September 30, 2014 Period 6 Overpopulation is a highly debated and controversial idea that states that the carrying capacity of the earth determines the number of people the world can sustain. The carrying capacity is a figured number or limit the world can hold and function with at any time. Earthly features such as the amount of resources, health of the environment, modern technology, basic needs, etc of the people and the land determine the carrying capacity, which always changes. The idea of overpopulation states that when the population exceeds the carrying capacity, the society fails and dies off. There is no definite evidence proving or disproving that carrying capacity exists, but there is a great deal of debate and speculation about all aspects of the idea of overpopulation.…

    By 2050 the population of the world will be around 10 billion people. Our world will not be able to support that many people, it can't even support the amount that we have now. The gap between the rich and the poor will widen and there will be slum cities instead of suburbanized areas. These slums are found in areas with the highest populations like India, Brazil, and China. This issue will only get worse with our expected population quota.…

    In regards to the issue of extreme population growth, too much people on Earth is not something that is beneficial to us or the environment. However, population growth has already been constructed by our predecessors, so it cannot be undone. Surprisingly, it is still occurring today due to our continuous lack of care, despite the potential consequences it presents. According to statistics given by Dr. Paul Ehrlich, the world population in the 1930s was only about 2 billion people [7]. In comparison, the number of people in our world today is approximately 7.3 billion according to the United States Census Bureau (7/9/2016) [8].…

    You could argue that we have space exploration for many different reasons whether it is just to gather information or just curiosity about what is over the next hill. We may never know what we will expect to find next in space whether its solar system with a planet that can maintain life on it or whether we discover a new way to make space exploration easier and easier funded. We have to keep continuing to have space missions and launch space crafts into space to find out information but you cant rush to find new things in space, it will take a lot of money and a lot of patience to accomplish…
