The Future of World Population :: Papers

The Present and emerging The growth of the worlds macrocosm is a problem that many people earn as being mentioned at some point in the future. While we live in a country that is reaping the benefits of a superpower, virtually of the United States is disconnected from the problems of population growth. In this paper, I in draw to address three major issues. How long will we be able to apply our planets food needs? How can we deal with population growth in the present day? And How come certain areas tend to impart bigger population growth than other areas? But first in this paper, I will see how the theories of sociologists and demographers fit into the Earths population problem. THEORIES MARX 1818-1883 Karl Marx viewed a capitalist troupe as an economic system that was bound to fail. In Marxs opinion this noble-minded failure was based in the design of the system. According to Marx, In the capitalist economy there are two major groups the middle class and the proletariat. Th e bourgeoisie are those who own the means of production, have the power. The proletariat are those that put to work for the bourgeoisie and are at their mercy. At the economy develops, the gap surrounded by the bourgeoisie and the proletariat grows wider and eventually all the capital is surmountled by a small percentage of the population and the proletariat is forced into poverty. To someone with smallish or no sociological background, the above paragraph has nothing to do with population as a social problem. But if you fit population into Marxs description of the capitalist system, it is more relevant than at first glance. The beaver way to make this point clear is to provide two supposititious situations. Family X is a middle class family that is doing well financially and they tend to have more children than if they are not making so a great deal money. But as the bourgeoisie gains more and more control, families like X have their income driven down and ultimately have fe wer children. Families must(prenominal) have enough money, food, etc. to survive. If they dont have these goods and they cant control their honorarium, they must control they must control an boldness of their lives that would allow them to survive, whether or not to have children. Family Z is an extremely wealthy family that more or less monopolizes an aspect of their economy. As the economy progresses, family Z is able to drive down the wages of their workers thereby increasing their profit.
