overpopulation and population density
When we think of population density most people aren't positive on this is actually means. In this essay, I will state why population density is becoming a problem in today's society and how this is having an effect on our environment, political, and economic state of countries. According to dictionary.com population density is "the number of people living per unit of an area (e.g. per square mile); the number of people relative to the space occupied by them"
After some secondary research, I found out that the continent of Asia has the highest population density in the world if we look at the statistics on geolounge.com the countries with the highest population density are Asia, Africa, and North America. If we narrow this down to induvial countries we can see from this graph on the right that there is a cluster within Asia, the country that shows us this is China is overpopulated because of the colour of the country and if you refer it back to the map. Once you refer it back to the map you can see that China has approximately 150 people living per square kilometre in China, this is mainly because of highly over populated cities in China. For example, Hong Kong, Hong Kong has a high population density of 6,349 people living per square kilometre, which is massive compared to different smaller countries like The Republic of China (Taiwan) who have a population density of 639 people per square kilometre. I know this by referring back to
My best guess is India will have the highest population density because they are industrializing quickly, have plenty resources and are working to get more and also they have lot of job opportunities. In other places it does seem like there will be much industrialization such as Africa which can cause the people to die out when they do nt have resources. Also the culture in India from what I have seen is that people have many children and encourage big families and take care of each other.
The United States already had an overpopulation problem. Now that the population is growing even more we have more cities and states being overpopulated. According to Support U.S. Population Stabilization (SUSPS), if our population trend continues, we will be able to add enough population to create another New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Baltimore, San Francisco, Indianapolis, San Jose, Memphis, Washington D.C., Jacksonville, Milwaukee, Boston, Columbus, New Orleans, Cleveland, Denver, Seattle, and El Paso - plus the next 75 largest cities in the U.S. - by 2020. According to Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), low-ranking countries have high population growth and high ranking countries have lower population
It is well known that China is one of the biggest countries in the world in terms of area which covers an area around 9.4 million square kilometers, and also has the most heavily populated countries in the world with a population of 1.4 billion ( continue to increase ) between the years of 1950 - 2015 ( Population Research Institute, Morse.A , Feb 18, 2015 ). China's population is concentrated in the urban areas because of the availability of modern and civilized life, such as Beijing, capital city with 130 million of china’s population, which become the largest city most populous in the world in the year 2015 ( Population Research Institute, Morse.A , Feb 18, 2015 ). The number of 1.4 billion become a scary number in term of population in one country like China because to compare with other world’s population it’s equivalent to 19.22% of the total world population ( Population Research Institute, Morse.A , Feb 18, 2015 ) .
In Ireland in the 1720’s, poverty and overpopulation were at a problematic rate. Many of the people who lived in England were exiled to Ireland. Many of these Englishmen felt mistreated and wronged. Ireland was a colony to England. The people of England had more money and power than the people of Ireland because England controlled Ireland.
There are many reasons as to why there are so many people in Asia. One reason is Asia’s agricultural development. Asian culture thrived in the past because they mastered growing a high amount of food in small areas. They grow such copious amounts of rice, and copious amounts of other food types of food that they can support copious amounts of people. Another reason for high Asian populations is the lack of cultural social safety net. In many of these countries, there is not unemployment
Everyone knows that overpopulation is a major issue; an issue is only going to increase over the next few decades. Every person should have a general understanding of this problem because it is going to affect everyone on the planet if it has not done so already. Many countries on our planet now are already overpopulated. In many third world countries, parents do not have enough money to feed themselves, let alone food for their own children. It is estimated that over one billion people wake up every day and do not have enough food or safe drinking water. In addition, according to many scientists, we are supposed to exceed 14 billion people by 2100 and nine billion by the year 2048. Even though we will most likely all be passed on, imagine a world with seven billion more people. How will people be able to have jobs and support their families?
Overpopulation is a relatively recent issue. The world’s population has grown exponentially over the past twenty to thirty years. For example, the country of Bangladesh, with a population density of 1,188 people per square kilometer, has a 1.2% annual growth rate. Comparing these numbers with the United
The question does not concern whether or not overpopulation is an environmental issue. The evidence is clear, the majority of researchers address this established issue with their own reasoning behind what the biggest cause or effect is. Overall, Hardaway (2014) found that around every one third of a second, the world creates room for one more human. Creating room for another person requires 3.2 tons of carbon, 2,000 square meters of fresh water, and 207 gigajoules of energy (Hardaway, 2014). This takes up more room and resources that the earth does not have. With this rapid growth in population, by the year 2050, the earth would need to have another living area the size of Brazil to accommodate for all the people (Kuo, 2012). With the lack of land availability, overpopulation will be impossible to survive off current natural resources. Researchers focus on why and how overpopulation is effecting the earth such as pollution, consumption, lack of resources, and overcrowding (Kuo, 2012; Wutich and Brewis, 2014). Overpopulation has numerous effects on the environment, and there are many different views on what is causing the biggest effect on the earth.
According to BBC, India 's population reached nearly 1.21bn ("India census: population goes up to 1.21bn"). China is also has the population of 1.36bn according to Chinese Government ("China Statistical Yearbook-2014"). That 's almost the half of the Earth 's population.
human overpopulation is when an area is overcrowded, there are just too many people living there, or the resources are not able to be used efficiently. If there are too many people in one place, resources will be fought for, or rationed. In both ways, nobody will get enough resources.
In 1800's the population growth is slow but when it reaches 1963 it grows rapidly. We side on don't panic because there will be no species extinction, if there will be no people abusing them. Low mortality rate is one of the cause of overpopulation and because of that it affect many aspect like economy, species extinction, limited resources( may tawag dito tina nakalimutan ko yung pag mas marami yung demand kesa supply). Technologically advancement in medicine is one of the visible sign of overpopulation, because of the improvement of the machines. Illness and diseases can be cured with the help of this new technology. Immigration of the rural people to the urban places may occur to lack of resources.
This rapid increase in the population is causing lots of environmental, economic, social, political, educational and health issues. People should be aware of the problems because if they did not then we will be facing many problems in future. Moreover, overpopulation can affect on our health because of the factories that release toxins in the atmosphere, which led to air pollution and land pollution. In addition, the environment will face many huge issues if the population kept increasing. Many countries have economic problems and some of them live in poverty all that because the sudden increase of the population. Eventually the over use of resources can harm us badly if we did not find solutions in the near future.
The convoluted problems concerning overpopulation remain to be a highly discussed issue in various countries throughout the world. Some issues that are in support of overpopulation include the opportunity to place innovative ideas into action, stimulating the economy, job openings in new growing industries, increased human resources, encourages competition, advancement in urbanization and development, demand for industries like farming, and allows for cheaper and more readily available products to be produced. According to an article on Chron, “More homes must be constructed, more food produced, more clothing manufactured. Even during periods of population growth, new technology may reduce the number of employees needed in one industry, while the needs of the people create new jobs in another.” By providing job opportunities in different industries, citizens in overpopulation areas would have the chance to explore new careers and would be playing an important role in supporting local businesses. Some values that are in support of overpopulation include quality of life, competition, and the right to live.
The planet that we all live on is a big place, but we are very quickly overcrowding it. Many people don’t even want to acknowledge the problem that is growing amongst us. In some places on our planet earth overpopulation is already in effect, and the world’s population continues to increase. So what will happen when the world becomes over populated? Well, no animal species can survive without enough food, water, shelter and certain other resources, human being requirements are no different. However, a world where lives have been affected by overpopulation already exists in third world countries. So how do we stop this from happening in our own countries? Imagine towns or cities overflowing with people trying to survive, trying to eat and feed their families. People would fight to get the resources they need, crime rate would rise and our city streets would look like a hectic scene from the movies.
Overpopulation is ‘The condition of a place populated with excessively large numbers’. It is considered a problem in many senses, since it causes a number of issues for various different reasons.
