No one knows what the world population will be in the future, but the United Nation gives three projections: high medium and low. Explain how each of these projections would affect your immediate community. How would these population changes affect the way you currently live your life?
As per the three projections (high, medium, low) given by United Nations, population rates get decided based on the availability of resources in the world, mortality rates, availability of sanitation and health care facilities like medication and so on. If the availability of resources is counted as per the current population ratio, then the population rate is medium. On the other hand, if it’s high, then the population rate is low, and if in some case, the availability of resources is marked as moderate, then the population rate reaches high.
These population changes will have an immediate effect on our current living as well. If it’s high, then every community would be forced to control their birth rates along with the need of bringing the idea of adoption so that it could further improve the structure of a community as well its economy. If it’s medium, then every community would be on an expected average ratio scale where they can provide all the facilities to people. But they need to keep in mind all the preventive measures for protection as this area somehow comes under the danger line. If it’s low, then the population would be affected the least, as they are already aware of their duties and responsibilities.
If we talk about this change at an emotional level, then this would affect the people most. As giving birth to a child and being recognized as a community in this large sphere of the population is what people call it as their birthright. And if we snatch away this opportunity, and force them to take preventive measures to control the birth rate, this would not only hurt their sentiments but would affect their lifestyles as well.
