Population Control

This topic fascinates me because even in current day America, there are so many humans that not everyone is as fortunate as the rest. What I mean by this is that there’s not enough food, money, water, land, and many more materialistic needs to go around and some people get stuck at the bottom of the chain being homeless and hungry. If the Earth as a whole continues at the rate it is expanding right now, we will surely run out of non renewable goods and many people will suffer from it. That’s why I’m curious if we’ll be able to survive as a species with so many of us, or if there has to be limits of how many humans there can be without ruining the Earth and our current society. I further went to research this by visiting the website nationalinterest.org who had to say that “the premise that ‘overpopulation’ is a problem at all is incorrect. It’s quite the opposite, in fact. New research shows that population growth goes hand-in-hand with more abundant resources.” What this means is that despite what some people may fear, people like me who are scared that the world won’t be able to support so many humans, the world is actually doing just fine with the amount of people it has right now and will continue to be fine no matter how many humans are born and live on it. This is because with new humans comes new technology and other new developments in our societies that will make it possible for everyone to live on Earth without consequence because new resources will be invented to sustain everyone.
