Human Population


Everyone is affected by Overpopulation because we all need water and each other in order to survive. Overpopulation can be defined as having too many people in a Country and the resources available are too little to sustain everyone. Overpopulation occurs most in Developing Nations where resources are limited. Since last year (2015)  the African  content  popoulation has grown by 30 million.

Have
you ever wondered what would happen if no body could move freely from one place to the other?.  The inability to access what you need at a specific time means that you could die, become permanently damaged or even become destroyed when the cause of death is not your fault but the hospitals fault.

 I am talking over population where it becomes such a problem to get medicine that you actually have to order online. Imagine waiting five hours for the online system to operate because a Receptionist was busy on her cellphone or the Doctor was out on a picnic the day that you had an emergency, I mean obviously  you are not the only one ordering services physically or online but the life you are trying to protect can slip away as a mere convenient accident.

 What if  when you decide to follow your heart and go and physically go and  place your order by  telling the Doctor what is wrong... you find that  you need thorough explanation about what contents are in  pills. You find that  the pills you  are prescribed are the very pills that your grandmother drank 2 hours before she  passed away, worst of all the doctor says there is a possibility of side effects that can occur either now or in the next year. You did ask didn't you?

  Finally  after  being given prescribed  medicine, what if  you find that you  have never seen such small brown pills in your life? I mean not that they should be big but um how can 20 pills taken slowly decrease your chance of death?... you finally sit down as your phone rings and your concerned  friend asks you   whether you actually went to the doctor.... you   reply hmmm they told me to wait, the system was slow and  um friend please be patient I got some brown smarties from the doctor yho I paid R300 no ways I am not going back:-)

Overpopulation as a global health problem.


Is it appropriate to dictate to people how many children they should have?

How is overpopulation a problem? Overpopulation causes hunger and makes people unable to cope with the living conditions that are not only meant to  help us but to make sure that people live life to the fullest. According to the World Food Programs  hunger statistics  "795 million people in the world do not have enough food to lead a healthy active life" " Poor nutrition causes about 45% of deaths in children under 5". Over popoulation causes for people to not have employment  due to too many people competing for employment and  as a result malnutrition occurs.

Admirable Organisations such as IS Global Barcelona Institute  focus on addressing the challenges of Global health, The Harvard University Global Health Institute has a focus on  investigatons about how to create healthier cities in future and  The World health Organisation has a focus on diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer.


So what must we do about Over population?
“If all of the world’s people lived like people in the developed countries do, then we would need three or four different globes to support the demand in terms of natural resources. So, sustainability is the word for the whole world,” Mr. Wu told reporters." picture by United Nations News sustainable agenda
  • Delay Marriages-Marrying at a young age means that there will be more children born. It is important to establish first the emotional, physical, mental and materialistic stability of young children before enforcing "forced marriages".

  • Educate people about family planning. There's no better way to improve life then to be educated before important decisions such as having a family is made.


Family planning is important

Madu Madavi quote



Lets go back to the basics... Irrespective of the gender of your child you have a role to play as   parent. Overpopulating the world in search of a gender to please your partner might just result in more chaos for you and  dissapointments that might cause you to question your knowledge of basic  Biology.In my view I  believe that overpopulation causes people to suffer,  I do not agree with abortion I believe in being responsible with your actions, if you make a life then stand up for it. what is your view?

On the brighter side of life  I also  believe the saying  "a baby makes love stronger, the days shorter the nights longer, savings smaller and a happier home."















Please do not over populate the world. There are only so many resources to feed everyone.


Employment is important so it would be great if there were enough jobs for everyone.There
are  institutions and organisations in place to address overpopulation, please contact them.There  are steps that can be taken to handle over population and it is important to be aware of  your countries population rates. lastly  live happy and be happy with your families, life is too short to be unhappy.
