Essay about How Overpopulation Causes Social Problems.

Overpopulation can lead to a lack of resources, no space for housing, as well as a lack of jobs. In the novel “Invitation to the Game” Hughes shows the problem of overpopulation when it was mentioned, “Our school alone dumped over a hundred people in the city in a single day” (p.17). The fact that they were dumped there and did not have another place to go shows the issue of overpopulation. These people didn’t have access to proper resources and they could barely survive with the resources provided. The novel shows how the “school used to have a ninety percent success rate in job placement, one of the best in the country.

When hearing the word “Overpopulation”, one tends to think about India and China and their massive populations, however it this is just the surface of the underlying hell that is these impoverished overpopulated areas. In Sold by Patricia McCormick, the reader is exposed to the dim reality of what happens in these crime ridden cities. The problem with these areas is that these poor living conditions affect millions of people daily, causing people to do things that they normally would not do to survive. The rapidly increasing populations in developing countries and cities is the main source of dehumanization in their societies.

Overpopulation can result from an increase in births, a decline in mortality rates due to medical advances, from an increase in immigration, or from an unsustainable biome and depletion of resources. It is possible for very sparsely-populated areas to be overpopulated, as the area in question may have a meager or non-existent capability to sustain human life. Urbanization is the process whereby a group of people migrating together (especially in some given time period). Whether due to natural causes (high birth rates) or through migratory movements (rural-urban exodus), the increase of population makes competing user-demands on land and other scarce natural resources. It also puts pressure on the environment and leads to social tensions among different interest groups. This is an age-old problem, common to all parts of the world. However, in the socio-economic

"One would have thought that it was even more necessary to limit population than property...The neglect of this subject, which in existing states is so common, is a never-failing cause of poverty among the citizens; and poverty is the parent of both revolution and crime." This quote did not come from any professional doomsayer or modern writer, or even an ecologist or a historian. Aristotle said this, though he lived in a time where the population was four percent of what it is today. People have been worried about overpopulation since the period before Christ. This makes you wonder how something as serious as overpopulation got so far out of hand. So out of control, in fact, that overpopulation could be the biggest threat to

The world is being over populated with humans not only in China but in the United States of America as well. The problem isn’t as obvious in the United States as in other countries, but I believe over-populated nations will soon become a problem everywhere in the world. Population is not a bad thing in all situations, but I think that our population growth problem is un-healthy and needs to slow down. I believe there are several ways to come about this problem as well. Population can be slowed down in many ways; it’s just how we choose to execute this problem.

has approximately seventy percent of the people living with HIV. In 2011 there were 23,500,000 people living with HIV, and 1,200,000 annual AIDS deaths. The new HIV infections are 1,800,000 annually. (1) This disease is world wide and not just isolated to Sub-Saharan Africa, however, with the data from researcher's it does have the highest prevalence of the disease. There is world wide efforts in combating the spread, and research that is ongoing to try to irradiate this terrible disease. This disease may cause the extinction of mankind if we as a society are unable to control and find a cure. There are so many factors that play a role in the process of this disease, but the issues of poverty within the HIV population needs to be addressed.

Junior Thesis: Effects of Overpopulation and How to Solve It Society includes both good and bad elements that make society better or worse. People in society all hates problems that occur in the society. Sadly, there are many problems the society may face today and people in the society may realize these problems too. The terrible conflicts in the society can lead to destruction to the economic and social life.

Overpopulation is an issue that many persons fail to bring attention, but don’t know the underlying effects that it can have on the United States itself. The hardships of overpopulation, affects the economy, the available of resources, and also the success of the future generations to come. Without much thought, someone may have children not knowing that it can affect the livelihood of the future generations who plan to land that job or that position they were aspiring to get. There are those individuals that continue having children, knowing that they are not financially capable of supporting another innocent child. In result this negatively affects the quality of living. If there are more births, it foreshadows that there are more jobs to be created, which causes employment hard to acquire, nevertheless, causing the economy to make a turn for the

Overpopulation is when it is to many people in one place at a time existing human population exceeds the carrying capacity of Earth.

Throughout this paper, we will explore some of the problems associated with a rapidly growing population leading to overpopulation, such as an increase in hunger, a loss of land, and a loss of resources received from the land. We will discuss when the problem began and the history of how fast the world’s population has multiplied from the lack of contraception assistance due to cost or availability; consequently, resulting in the overpopulation problem. Furthermore, I will purpose the righting of these problems will contribute to the solution. Moreover, we will discuss who and what are affected by the overpopulation problem. I will argue that population growth will be reduced with the use of Reproductive Education License of Four

Stuck in traffic, having moved only a couple of feets in the last five minutes, you ask yourself, are there too many people on this planet? Human population has been growing exponentially ever since the Industrial Revolution, and there seems to be no end to this catastrophe. More humans make more pollution, more erosion, more destruction of forests, more extinction of wildlife, more depletion of natural resources, and so on. United States’ funding for family planning to cut down the population has flatlined for several years, although it would take relatively little money to make a big difference. If all the unintended pregnancies came to a halt, there would not be a significant growth in the number of people as birth rates and death rates

The HIV/AIDS virus affects people of all ages, races, sex, educational, and soci0-economical levels. The virus may affect some more than others because of lack of resources and education. Many people do not have the resources to treat the disease. The World Bank 's 1997 written report Confronting AIDS explained that "distributed wealth and nonequivalent distribution of financial gain can impact the spread of HIV".

AIDS is a relatively new disease that emerged in the 20th century. It has spread to all parts of the world and claims millions of lives each year. One of the countries that has been impacted the most is South Africa. There are 6.1 million people living with HIV and around 370 000 new cases a year, according to the UNAIDS "Global report" from 2013. Though major cities like Jonesburg are vastly developed, much of the country still remains rural, which aids in the spread of the disease. The country has the largest retroviral program in the world but 240 000 people are dying of AIDS related disease each year1. Understanding the social construction and causation of the disease is vital for devising a plan to help combat the spread of HIV in South Africa. The virus has no regards of social status or race. Usually the ones who suffer the most are the poor and the minorities. The poor living conditions, lack of sanitation , sexual habits of the population and the ineffective government efforts up to 1994 exacerbated the problem.

Overpopulation is not a great thing. It is when there are more people than there are resources. It can be caused by an increase in the fertility rate, a decrease in mortality rate, more immigrants, or a depletion or limited amount of resources. In essence it means that if the amount of people is more than the amount of resources in the world then we will eventually stabilize because there will be more deaths. If there are too many people in the same habitat then the amount of resources and availability of things will decrease.

Have you ever heard the metaphor “packed in like sardines”? You could only imagine how uncomfortable it would be. Picture a couple. This couple has three children, and these three children each have a spouse and three children of their own. Now picture these seventeen people all living in one room. Would you feel a little crowded, maybe claustrophobic? How soon before panic would set in, and you find yourself needing space? Now imagine that even if you could leave this room, the situation outside is no better. Did you know there is a world population clock on the United States Census Bureau website that increases by one number in less than one second? 7,421,546,950 was the latest number as of 7:36 p.m., 16 September 2017. It is not hard to imagine with this growth that soon the world will run out of room for all of these people, not to mention the ability to feed them. The world already has over a billion people with no access to food, clean water, or sanitation (Kuo, 2012). Now put yourself in this room, close quarters and hungry. You see a rat over in the corner. Would you fight for it? You probably said no, but that is because you are not starving, and no one is inside of your personal space for now. The world’s overpopulation crisis will lead to an apocalyptic end with conflict over land and food.
