Overpopulation: The World's Problem by Vince Busam English 12 Period 2 Bradburn 11 December, 1995 The world's population will soon reach a level where there will not be enough resources to sustain life as we know it. Growth must be checked to avoid this catastrophe. Many environmental, social, and economic problems either stem from or are increased in magnitude by the overpopulation problem. With an exponentially increasing population, the problems created by overpopulation grow correspondingly. To ensure population stability not only in the increasingly wealthy third-world areas, but also in the industrialized areas, countries and individuals must work together to achieve zero population growth.

Population ecology is the study of populations in relation to environment, including environmental influences on density and distribution, age structure, and population size Concept: Dynamic biological processes influence population density, dispersion, and demographics A population is a group of individuals of a single species living in the same general area Density and Dispersion Density is the number of individuals per unit area or volume Dispersion is the pattern of spacing among individuals within the boundaries of the population Environmental and social factors influence spacing of individuals in a population Density: A Dynamic Perspective In most cases, it is impractical or impossible to count all individuals in a population

Demographic Transition Model

Demographic Transition About.com: Geography The demographic transition model seeks to explain the transformation of countries from having high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates. In developed countries this transition began in the eighteenth century and continues today. Less developed countries began the transition later and are still in the midst of earlier stages of the model. CBR & CDR

AP Human Geography Chapter 3 Outline

CHAPTER 3 MIGRATION Introduction Geographers document from where people migrate and to where they migrate. They also study reasons why people migrate. In the United states, the average family moves once every six years. Most people migrate in search of economic opportunity, cultural freedom, and environmental comfort. The difference between the number of immigrants and the member of emigrants is the net migration. Local diversity is the migration of people of similar cultural values. Migration is a form of relocation diffusion, but reasons for migrating can be gained from expansion diffusion. Case Study: Migration from Ukraine to Italy Legal and illegal immigrants have been pouring into Western Europe by the millions. Most of them come from Africa, Asia, and Eastern Europe.

The graph is an exponential graph that shows that every ten years the population is continuing to increase. The graph shows that as the years increase the population increasing as a faster rate then it was in the 1800?s. There are a few solutions to control population control; China has already enacted a plan. China has controlled its population majorly by offering extreme tax benefits to families that follow its one child rule, and tax punishments to families that don?t follow the rule. This has encouraged many people to only have one child, and therefore, controlled its population. This is one way governments can begin to control population because taxes and money have a big impact on peoples? decisions.
