“Population Overload” is about how each time our population in the United States doubles. Whether because of the World War II, unchecked immigration, or just over-crowded cities, population increases and danger increases as well. It also says how we as humans and citizens of this country should do something about the population overload in the Unites States. Losing millions of acres of farmland, over use of water supply, air quality not improving, schools over crowding as well as over crowding ealth care systems, are troubles that the United States face due to the increase of population.
This over crowding problem is not just a hassle, but we are at risk of one day reaching a point no one can do anything about it. “Democrats and Republicans, liberals and conservatives, are avoiding debate on these issues because they are the most difficult ones for politicians to conform. ” Imagine, if the government doesn’t act to improve our nation, who will? This article applies to the issue of Human Population Explosion due o that each year, the population increases in the United States as well as other countries, by more that thousands.
It explains how we are over using the resources we have which sooner or later we will no longer have. Probably the biggest problem is healthcare. Budgets go down due to overpopulation and many times, emergency rooms have to close down due to their low budget. What will happen if this keeps on? This issue impacts us locally due to the fact that we live in the United States and we should take care of the little resources we have.
And it’s true, we’ve seen in the news how we have a shortage of water, the air is polluted and how we are running out of medications, and all this is due to the population increase. More people – more resources needed. I definitely think this is an enormous problem not just because one day we won’t in this world, but we are not thinking of the consequences. “As individuals and as a nation, we’re defined by the choices we make. And too often, by the tough decisions we avoid.
Most of us have avoided even thinking about how our rapidly growing population is affecting our quality of life and shaping our society. ” The only way to avoid this problem is to take care of each other and be smarter of how to use what Earth gives us. We also need to teach our children, of how we can prevent the problems of over population. “We must prepare to make very tough choices on all these issues that we’ve too long ignored. “
