ETHICAL ISSUE FOR UNIT IV
Who should reproduce? These guys.....
After this Unit I still fill incomplete about the population effect on the plant and our countries. I still am of the feeling that the biggest issues in our future are based around three things. Those factors are population, food sources, and disease. This is what I have come to believe.
The fact that our population on this planet is reaching the billions it is, many problems are going to come from it. When you have growth at exponential rates all planetary life is affected. The resources it takes to sustain these numbers the planet can’t afford to produce any more. With the trend in a greener more efficient life style in place we should start looking way ahead to secure supplies for us that don’t kill our big home, planet earth.
To feed the numbers of this planet you have to do some major figuring just to get an idea. The top producing countries still feed all of the poor ones. Yet the poor one has the high birth rates and is continuing to grow. What should we do cut them off in an in human way and let them fend for there selves. No, but it might come down to that in the future. Food is going to be a big issue, when do we just take care of our own.
With the huge populations there has to be some kind of bug that is going to come along and get us. The cultures are designed perfect for passing it on to one and other. Just think of how many people you come in contact with. Not only is that but the world still very small with all of the international travel. We have no way of controlling it. Maybe that is Mother Natures plan for species control. If it gets out of hand, boom there a disease and most of you’re going to die.
This unit was fun and interesting because it made you thinks of how we live and interact with the e environment we live in. Also what we do to affect it. I think that the population is going to get too big for the planet and food will either run out or a disease will come along and kill off most of the populations. Will see; hope it not in our life time.
