Sociologists have
recently found out that the population in poorer countries is growing rapidly
than the rich nations. In the United States, birth rates are rapidly declining.
However, in developing countries, the population is multiplying faster compared
to the developed countries. The earth’s population has increased tremendously
during the last hundred years due to advances in the medical field and
technical field. Cities have grown due to the increase of population. When the
human population increases, the amount of land does not increase. Cities are
expanding vertically. Also, with the growing population excess pollution can be
created as there will be more people creating pollution.
Increase in population also puts pressure on the
developing nations as they have to struggle economically. Another major problem
is the problem of resources. There are only a limited number of resources on
this earth. It is not enough to support the worldwide population. I believe in
order to improve life of humans; the government must control the growing population.
I think the government should regulate the amount of children a person is
allowed to have especially in countries such as India who have a massive
population. Otherwise the growth of world population will result in serious
problems which will be difficult to handle. In my opinion, we should act soon
on this growing population problem. Social agencies should generate awareness
of the growing population problem. I believe this world will become a better
place if this problem can be solved.
