"Population
Explosion Does Matter"
By Karen Nodalo
The sudden increase in the population is steamingly high and
continues to elevate. For every second, three or more babies are
born in every country and that is a big effect in our community
and the whole world. Population rate has been growing effectively
but death rates are reduced resulting to an imbalance in the population
status. However, if the number of death rates will decrease, still
we will find it very hard to manipulate the population fraction.
Is this an issue we should ponder on? It certainly is because
it do not only affect the enormous population size but conveys
to the general problems occurring in our society. It is very important
that we become aware of the population dimension for the reason
that it entails us to be living in jam-packed places if lucky.
But for some, streets are will become a vacancy.
Rapid population growth will contribute to poor employment, agriculture,
economy, and poverty. It is true that if population will not decline,
food shortage will rise. Food shortage then arrives to malnutrition
which a part of the world is experiencing now.
Increase in population will increase poverty and it is another
imperative problem the world will face. Unemployment leads to
poverty and poverty leads to economic crisis. It is said that
there has to be only two to three children in a family in order
for them to suffice the basic needs to maintain the standard way
of living. If more than five children are raised and the father
is unemployed and they keep raising another batch of children,
how will they provide the needs of their children basically for
food and education? Schools are rampantly overcrowded with students.
Children begging in the streets for money to buy food are not
surprising. Some are lucky enough to reach college while some
risk in hard work with less pay.
Issues’ regarding the population growth has been a dispute between
the Church and the State resulting to misunderstanding. The government
is continuously observing the cause of the unwanted population
explosion at the same time finding means on how to stop it. While
the Church supports family life production. In any way, the church’s
credence is ratifying but are they opt to accommodating the issues
that goes along with it?
In recent studies, population growth has an immense result and
consequence in affecting our economy. In the years to come if
we do not come up to certain possibilities of decreasing birth
rates, food shortage comes at hand. In the years to come, if we
reach the hit the highest number of population and cities are
fully occupied, we will be forced to sacrifice fields we use for
vegetation and agriculture. Therefore, this would lead to food
shortage and malnutrition.
Population is a major problem especially in rural places where
agriculture resources are being cultivated. It hastily affects
our environment and natural resources. The flora and fauna we
have been preserving are being abused by wicked intentions and
misuse. If we do not preserve our resources, food production is
affected and sustainable development will not be maintained for
that reason.
As our population increase our needs, our demands become high
so we definitely need good governance. If the population density
will lessen, we can accumulate bigger opportunities and avoid
chances of being overcrowded. |
