Essay

This is an image of a swimming pool in Japan. I'd say that this country is overcrowded!!

Is population the problem? And who should reproduce?

I never thought to sit down and think about our population or any countries population and to think we could lose resource to “live”. If our resources are low then yes I would think our population is a problem. Is it everyone’s problem? YES!

A child in the US consumes the same resources as 30 children would in India and 300 in Ethiopia. Other third world countries don’t have the same resources, money, and education like the US does. If other countries are in danger of having diseases, malnutrition and keep producing then each country should try and help the “cause”.

I really do believe that the “under developed” countries need more help about education and the cause of our population. If they had the resources of contraceptives I’m sure that would help a whole lot with their population and help them with their resources, the population won’t be such a big deal.

I’m not sure if anyone has a right to tell anyone “who should reproduce”. It’s they’re choose and their bodies. Instead of tell someone “hey you can’t have any more children” the key is to education, let them know what our future can hold, about limited resources, then let them decide on what they want to do.

I think the developing economy is a problem also but it’s a problem that can’t be stop. We ourselves choose what we eat and how much we eat. We eat what resources we have, fast food, chips, soda while other countries are eating what they find to eat. Third world countries need the developing economies than the US does, for survival. I’m not saying the third world should eat chips and pizza, but need the resources to grow food and to raise animals that give them food.
