Danger of Overpopulation Essay

goat meat, and fried fish that are found in the Red Sea. Special spices are added to their dishes for special events like marriages, birth of a child even when infants get circumcisions, or any major life changing events. One of the main form of art is Dance. Dance is their way to express traditions. Men and women dress wear flashy clothing, women are covered with gold ornaments and dance for every great event. Their musical accomplishments are limited to a drum, a traditional song, and applause…

Take Home Final Exam 1. a. In my experiment there would be three experimental groups: the first would have both nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), the second would only have N, and the third would only have P; all three groups can be tested in order between April and mid-June where the graph shows the lake had some of the highest biomass of Diatoms, Dinoflagellates, and Green algae. The independent variables would be the N and P in each experimental group and the amount added in each setting;…

The crude birth rate is the number of annual amount of live births per thousand people. The average number of of children that would be born to each women (per 1,000) in a society if they passed through the childbearing years bearing children is the total fertility rate. Lastly, the replacement-level fertility rate is a total fertility rate of about 2.1, that stabilizes the population. The crude birth rate and the fertility rate show how fast our population may be growing. If we are…

Bristlemouths are said to be the most numerous vertebrate on Earth. However, this title has been questioned over the past years and has led to much research. During the past century and a half, scientists around the world have worked to learn more about bristlemouths. The population is now thought to be within the hundreds of trillions and possibly more. In a result, bristlemouths have the highest numbers in comparison to any other known vertebrate. The vast number of bristlemouths was first…

Our world cares and nurtures over 7 billion people -which is rapidly rising-, drains about about 400 quadrillion BTUs of energy each year, and desperately tries to meet the basic needs of every human being. Every year, we demand more and more from our Mother Earth while her supplies cannot replenish as fast as we take, and consequently, will not meet our energy needs in the next upcoming years. Specifically in the United States, in 2014 we consumed nearly 80.50 quadrillion BTUs of energy from…

Introduction Over the past 10,000 years world’s food production has undergone colossal changes and agriculture has played a central role on that process. The main focus and worries have always been centered on making improvements on food production to successfully feed an exponentially growing population. In 1779 Thomas Malthus refers to this problematic as “Famine seems to be the last, the most dreadful resource of nature. The power of population is so superior to the power in the earth to…

earth’s capacity and number of resources able to sustain human life, has created this fear of “overpopulation.” Yet history has repeatedly proved that human capabilities far exceed the natural limits of the planet. Even as our population increases, humans have always sustained a contributing place in the world ecological order. The hard reality is that common assumptions about overpopulations are only misleading factors that divert attention from…

Samantha Godbold 02/27/2016 Human Overpopulation Over the course of our lives, we are taught that human overpopulation refers to the number of how many people live on this planet and that it is the reason why Earth is not going to be able to sustain us for much longer. Many people believe, however, that the population of the human race isn’t the reason for Earth’s decline in resources. It is, in fact, us. We, as a species, are solely responsible for Earth’s sudden decline in…

In Garrett Hardin’s paper, “Lifeboat Ethics: The Case against Helping the Poor,” Harden uses the analogy of a lifeboat being a nation. He intends to offer his opinion, while explaining why his theory, “Lifeboat Ethics,” is more accurate than a previous theory, “Spaceship Earth” (Hardin, 358). Throughout the paper he explains that by the rich supporting the poor, they are enabling the poor to continue in their destructive ways and to ultimately cause “environmental ruin” (Hardin, 366).…

before due to the fact that every twelve years, one billion people are being added to the planet. At that rate, there is roughly 220,000 people added per day, and by the year 2030, we would need two earths to be able to sustain our lifestyle (Overpopulation: Causes). With the environment constantly changing, there are new problems that arise with it. As the problem we face increases, the need to be aware of our surroundings also increases. Though some only affect a small population of ecosystems…
