The Population Control Controversy
The main message in this article is weather or not people have the right to create life? China's one child policy, or the United Nations educating Africa about birth control and pregnancy prevention are both efforts in curbing the population growth. Well what about the people being controlled? Woman in China have fled the country in order to avoid forced abortion. On an individual scale no one wants to be told what to do, but if the parents can not provide for their families, then they should use pregnancy prevention.
The chart was designed by Thomas Malthus about population sustainability and the carrying capacity. Carry capacity is defined as the maximum number of species that can be sustained in a given area.The factors which stabilize the economy are food sources stripped, endemics, and war. Which is true in nature but with advancements in technology we are able to provide for way more people than can be stable. This means that every year we consume resources we lower the maximum carrying capacity and at the same time continue to increase the population.
