Girls in India are commonly victims of feticide, infantcide or later, forced suicide. On the other hand sons in India can generate prosperity in a family; that is if they aren"t among the 110 out of 1000 that don"t live to see their first birthday. A lot of infants have fatal encounters with diarrhea, diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, measles, and malnutrition. This most likely has something to do with the fact that in villages over.

             800 million people don"t have access to safe drinking water. In China and Africa similar problems can be found due to overpopulation. .

             There"s has been an out break of AIDS in China, because farmers" have run out of fertile soil and have began giving blood to blood dealers in exchange for money. The blood dealers are evidently not the most sanitary practicioners after reading in Washington Post that they use the same infected needle on as many farmers as possible. In Africa we all know of the famines that have devastated the country. Again we have to turn to the lack of resources for an overpopulated country where there isn"t enough food , doctors or educational oppurtunities for the society. When you take all of those factors and put them together you"ll also likely find political instability in a country. As O. Henry fittingly stated, "there are not many troubles in the world more alarming than those caused by the fire in the pit of an empty stomach.".

             The direct effect that overpopulation has on our agricultural development isn"t neccessarily felt by us, but of course we are effected. .

             With a concern that we will be left providing food for the rest of the world when overpopulated countries like China run out of food is sort of scary. Despite new technology that has been developed to renourish soil after it"s been used there are side effects on our earth. The Green House effect may be one that you"ve heard of. These green revolution technologies can bring along pollution of natural waters, soil contamination and overall degradation, air pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions.
