You have just gotten married to the man of your dreams. The both of you are making a good salary and you have just moved into a new house. The house has plenty of space and resources. Soon the two of you decide that you want to have a family. Now all of the space, food and resources must now be divided amongst the three of you. Some time passes and you decide to have another child, then another, then another. You slowly watch the space in your house become smaller and smaller with the additions that are added to the family. Soon the bills become a problem and everyone begins to feel cramped. This type of scenario is happening to our global home. Everyday, 240,000 babies are born around the world, according to United Nations' Population Fund (UNFPA). This figure works out to be about 12,000,000 people over the next 50 years, if the growth stays, steady. However, as stated by World Population Profile: 1998, the population of our plant will reach 9.6 billion people by 2050!This fact should frighten the people of the world because growing population will affects everyone. Here are a few examples of issues that will affect the human race. · Worsening water scarcity in large part from increases in h
uman demand. Water tables are dropping worldwide. n in Japan.) World Watch reports that a 1989 study found that in sixty countries, the wife must have her husband's permission to be sterilized or receive contraceptives. This law hinders the woman from protecting herself against unwanted pregnancy, and increases her chances of becoming pregnant. Another reason that contraceptives are not readily available is scarce availability in rural areas that lack clinics and pharmacies; therefore, to purchase contraceptives a woman must travel a great distance. Those women who want to use contraceptive cannot get access to them or they are not effective. Sometimes they are even too expensive. To give an example, once in 1990, when officials increased in price of contraceptives sixty percent, the regularly increasing sales dropped significantly, twenty-nine percent in condoms, twelve percent in the pill. The next year they rolled back prices and sales rebounded, World Watch declares. If a woman has a bad experience with a contraceptiv! e that she is using then she will never use it again. That bad experience with the new birth control method like intrauterine devise could discourage a whole town from using it. So the implementation of a new birth control method must be successful the first time it is introduced in a new country. If not it could turn women off of birth control altogether. In most cases the best methods of birth control are unavailable to the women that need it the most. This leaves the only option of sterilization. In Ghana and India, 69% of women choose this option, but not until well after they have birthed multiple children. · Pollution in cities is the number one killer of young children because of respiratory diseases. Cities are growing at an alarming rate. Religion and society plays an important role in the population explosions. Many of the most populated countries' religions are either Muslim or Christian. Pakistan is 97% Muslim. In Pakistan, forty-three percent of husbands disapproved of family planning. In fact, they believe the number of children they have is "up to God" (Mitchell 4). Many of the most populated countries' religions are either Muslim or Christian. Pakistan is 97% Mu
