population and the environment




Hey guys,


check out this article http://www.populationmedia.org/issues/population/population-and-the-environment/


What do all of you think when you heard of the term "overpopulations" ? For me, when I came across this word, generally I thought of :


1) over crowded / less space to live
2) unemployment
3) increase crime rate
4) lead to environment problems - water pollution, air pollution, noise pollution..etc


In other words, overpopulations does not give any benefits to us...does it?

  1. Mary, your point is right. Just like to share that the world is finite thus there is a limit of the number of people who can live on the earth at one time. However, we do not know the limit? This is dangerous........

  2. Please check the boserupian and malthusian argument on population growth in the texbook. You could expand your argument here further.
