World population

Symbolism by definition is the usage of certain objects or signs to stand for bigger meanings, concepts or ideas. In the first cartoon the beaten up man with that head which looks like the earth is a symbol for the earth, the cartoonist meant by that image to show people the bad effects of overpopulation on the earth, and that earth will no longer be able to face this problem or handle its effects. In the second cartoon the earth is being presented by a man or a boy being showered, the…

of water is quite precisely present in everything mankind does (Fishman 2). From human body, to the cup of coffee we drink every morning, to the transportation we use, it all requires the work of water. Certainly, the exponential growth of the world population is causing a huge impact to water depletion too. Not only we need water and air to survive, we also need food which consumes nearly 70 percent of water usage and becomes the number one water user (Maxwell and Yates 54). Here are some fun…

Closing in the present age, the human population expands exponentially and the natural resources that come from the earth decrease as its consumption continues. To this day, over 7 billion people now live on the earth after billions of years ago where no beings have existed back then. With countless secrets of the planet, the application…

We are almost at the point of no return. The Earth’s environment is on a downward spiral due to the use of fossil fuels that displace carbon dioxide and other harmful gasses into our atmosphere every day. With the increasing population, non-reusable resources are being depleted at a rapid rate, and the negative consequences of using these resources have only just begun. It’s a scary reality, but I am determined to do everything I can with my lifestyle in order to reduce my ecological footprint…

even close to being likely. If you start denying three fourths of the world the right to have a child, you’re going to have a major problem. When you start trying to limit the world’s population through regulations, then you have another China one child per household similarity and in doing it can only end in violence and destruction. I am very thankful we currently have regulations which protect us from that kind of population…

apable effects of a warming world. Miami, and major parts of Florida are a great risk from the earth’s changing climate as the rising oceans threaten to swallow most of the southern half of the state. Tensions between Bangladesh and India intensify as the rising sea water threatens to displace millions of people, with India’s only solution to the issue being to build a larger border. “The Siege of Miami”, written by Elizabeth Kolbert, paints a terrifying portrait of the consequences of rising…

the northeast, South Sudan in the Northwest, Uganda on the West, Tanzania on the South and the Indian ocean on the east (Kenya Malaria Indicator Survey 2015). Kenya is about five times the size of Ohio and a little over twice the size of Nevada (The world Fact Book: Kenya 2016). Kenya is divided into four regions. On the west are the highland regions, where the capital Nairobi is located and where this…

when given circumstances such as population growth, innovation, natural events, and human events, can humans still adapt successfully? I believe wholeheartedly that a person can learn all that is necessary to be an independent and responsible member of the culture before he or she dies. The world changes extremely fast and it seems as more and more time goes on,…

The world's population is estimated to reach nine billion by 2050 with more food and agricultural water needed to feed the growing population. In addition to change in food and water demand, climate change and change in biofuel demand represent major risks for long-term food security. As the pressure on land and water resources intensifies, managing the available resources and feeding the growing world population seems challenging and has to be addressed. My life goal is to become an expert in…

This paper is about how dying from old age can be cured, but also the dire consequences that may unintentionally happen because of it. Genetic immortality, also known as biological immortality, is the decrease death rate of growing old. How it would work is that scientists would be able to “unlock” a gene in the human body and, from that, humans would be free from the consequences of old age. This is an important issue because with the arguments presented, the human race can either immensely…
