Communities that understand the toll population growth has on the environment are more likely to take action to protect the environment and conserve natural resources by monitoring population growth and encouraging restoration of the environment rather than encouraging larger families (Mulligan, 2006). Community actions are more likely to be tolerated than mandates that declare population growth must be limited by force (Mulligan, 2006).
Evaluate Effects of Human Activities on Ecosystems and Biosphere

Excessive population growth can destroy ecosystems and impact the biosphere in many negative ways (Birdall, Kelley & Sinding, 2001; Mckee, 2003). Activities that drive a technologically oriented society may include the cutting down of ecosystems in rain forests for wood that will be used by consumers constantly in demand of "natural" furniture, flooring or housing (Birdall, Kelley & Sinding, 2001; Mckee, 2003). Excessive consumption of materials for personal use may lead to "anemic ecosystems and economic recovery" (Birdall, Kelley…...

What products and services will interest these new youth markets?

The products and services in demand will be those that are most popular in other areas of the world. This is because they have similar tastes and want to own these items. A few of the most notable include: electronics, clothing and toys. At the same time, they will eat foods that have more Western tastes (such as: KFC). The combination of these factors is demonstrating how this segment is interested in popular merchandise from many developed countries. This is illustrating the new perceptions and affluence that are emerging. ("China and India," 2005) (White, 2012) (Pilcher, 2012)

Yet, in the world today there is an even greater fuel shortage, that can create an even greater human catastrophe, as trees create the oxygen that makes it possible to breath.
A the urgent need to develop more climate-friendly energy technologies is becoming keenly appreciated worldwide. enewable energy technologies are receiving heightened attention, and modern biomass-based energy -- the use of wood, crop residues and dung as fuel -- is increasingly seen as an important component of the transition to a low-carbon energy future.... Shortages of wood for cooking meant that women and children had to spend many hours in search of fuels. The growing populations in developing countries were harvesting trees for use as cooking fuels at unsustainable rates -- threatening, according to Eckholm, significant deforestation problems.

Environmental Science: Population Growth Dynamics
Population Growth Dynamics: Environmental Science

Population growth generally occurs in five major phases -- the lag phase, the exponential phase, the stationary phase, the overshoot phase, and the death phase. The change in the size of the snow goose population over the years is a perfect demonstration of how the process of growth flows through these five phases. This text discusses the specific events that occur in each of these five phases of population growth.

Population Growth Dynamics

Define exponential and logistic growth patterns. How are they similar? How are they different?

Exponential growth rate is said to exist when the rate of growth is proportional or equal to the existing amount, such that the larger the existing amount, the greater the growth rate (Gilewski & Norton, 2008). This, in terms of population growth, refers to a situation where the birth rate is constant and is not restricted by diseases…...

Population and Consumption
There are a few different links between poverty and population. The text notes (p.169) that "much of the recent international migration has been from the developing world to the developed world," and that many people migrate because they realize that their best chance to escape poverty is to move to another country. Yet, rapidly growing populations are also a contributing factor to poverty in the developing world. In much of the developed world, natural (non-migration) population growth rates are slow, and have been for decades. These are also the wealthiest countries in the world. The countries with the most rapid growth rates are those with the worst economies. Those countries struggle to produce enough food for their people, and that struggle becomes even harder when the population increases rapidly.

The population pyramids in some countries provide interesting perspective on the links between poverty and population. In some developing nations,…...

Chain migration refers to the migration of a population, whereas hierarchical migration refers to the migration of a certain segment of a population.
As can be gathered by these factors that influence population growth, community interactions plays a dominate force in population dynamics. The concept of community interactions can be used to encompass such factors as migration, wealth and trade. In other words, each community has specific needs and resources. ased on the available means, or lack of means, humans will interact with other communities in order to satisfy their needs, even if this need is nothing more than selling resources to another community.

Further, as our world continues to become more and more globalized, there continues to be an increasing interaction between the world's communities. Although much of these interactions are beneficial to humanity, in terms of the long-term effects they have on population growth, many can also be viewed…...

At a most simplistic level, the growth of the human population generates higher levels of consumerism. And the higher levels of consumption place supplementary strains on the already scarce natural resources. Additionally, the incremental levels of consumption translate into higher levels of waste. This waste comes from both individual consumers, as well as from industrial agents and it directly impacts the quality of the water as well as the availability of fresh water resources. Garbage dumping near waters contaminates them and leads to three primary impacts:
The death of the species living in the respective waters

The illness or even death of the non-water animals which drink from the respective source

The illness or even death (in rare cases) of the people who consume the animals that drank water from the contaminated source or who themselves use the respective source of water in the household

Waters are also contaminated through the incremental need…...

For the first time in many years, nations like Japan can no longer guarantee employment for their large population and they must consider a new welfare option. These are all economic situations that are new and indicate that population has an adverse affect on the world economic policies.
Conclusion

This report aimed to discuss some of the relationships between population growth and economic development. Economic growth will continue to be an objective for every nation in our highly globalized and technologically advanced world economy. The world has been doing all in its power to try to duplicate the United tates and Chinese economic accomplishments. Each nation will continue to attempt to grow their own Gross Domestic Products but this is no guarantee that these nation's citizens will benefit. The Gross Domestic Product is used as an indicator of the world's economic growth and well-being because the Gross Domestic Product represents a…...

Urbanization

Earth also witnessed a phenomenon of urbanization or shifting of population toward cities. The increase in the number of cities has been associated with that of repeated ecological disaster. apid regional deforestation, the depletion of ground-water aquifers, accelerated soil erosion, plant genetic simplification, periodic outbreaks of disease among pest species and domesticated animals, large-scale human malnutrition, and the development and spread of epidemics are some of the results we have witnessed as a result of unbridled population explosion in cities. Ecological decline in many of cities have resulted in the overall deterioration of the environment, geography and quality of life.

Threats of Excessive Population Growth
Excessive population growth can pose the most serious long-term threats to the world. The phenomenon often used to go un-noticed or was less emphasized but, it's a well established fact now that our lives are going to get affected more than ever before if population continues to grow at alarming levels. The current surge in population started from 1700s. Before that, during the early 0.5 million years of human inhabitance on earth, population grew with negligible rates. That changed much as world's annual growth rate rose to 0.5% between 1850 and 1900 and rocketed up to 2.0% during the 1960s (Pimentel). ight now, we are going through a critical phase of population explosion, as in the last 50 or so years, the recorded growth rate is faster than ever before, and probably faster than it will ever get (Prb.org).

The modern separation from the means of production does not negate the fact that nearly everything we need to sustain us is provided by the earth, either by natural or artificial means. The earth gives us all the materials we need and many we desire and in turn she is changed. She becomes less able with each passing day and each lost natural acre to continue to provide. Though the relationship with the earth, including her flora and fauna are mediated socially, economically, ecologically and culturally, the full force of the impact of the growing human population on the planet cannot be completely reduced or balanced and this is even truer when population growth outstrips available resources. In a bid to reproduce itself and make itself stronger the human race is impeding on the earth and in turn its ability to sustain, the human and natural populations as well as…...

Human Population Growth Factors
The growth in human population has been steadily increasing throughout most of history, but in the last 200 years it has escalated rapidly. There are numerous factors which account for the growth in human population, however those with the greatest influence include fertility and mortality rates, demographics, production of food, diseases and medical advances, economics, to name but a few. In the United States, the population has also expanded, growing from "76 million in 1900 to 304 million in 2008," with one of the largest increases coming in the years 1946 to 1964. (Miller, 2008, p.82) Although the rate of population growth has decreased since 1964, the population of the United States is still growing at a faster rate than any other industrialized nation. And while it is true that as a nation becomes more industrialized its rate of population growth decreases, the growth in population in…...

Author Paul Ehrlich devised the famous equation for evaluating human impact on the environment as a function of three variables: (1) population, (2) affluence, and (3) technology (UWB, 2004). Much more recently, William ees, of the Fisheries

Center at the University of British Columbia introduced a method for quantifying the specific natural resource demand represented by each person, expressing the results as an ecological "footprint" (UWB, 2004). Combined with the fact that by the turn of the 21st

Century, the global human population reached 6 billion, the implications for the future of the planetary ecological systems and biosphere are extremely ominous to say the least.

According to experts like ees, developed countries like the United States and Canada already account for an extremely disproportionate (collective) ecological footprint, to the extent that the entire natural capacity of the Earth would already be exceeded by 20% were all its inhabitants consuming its resources at the…...

Excessive Population Growth
Threats Associated with Excessive Population Growth

The world population has grown more in the past 50 years than it did during 4 million years of previous human existence. It continues to grow at a rapid pace, showing no signs of stabilizing in the near future. If we consider the fact that the earth has a limited amount of space and a finite number of resources, it is logical to assume that population growth is sustainable only up to a certain point. Most experts are in agreement that the point would be reached very soon. There are numerous negative ramifications of excessive population growth. Some of the more important sociological and environmental threats associated with such excessive population growth are discussed in this paper.

Counter urbanisation refers to the movement of people away from larger urban areas to smaller towns and rural areas.

This phenomenon is often driven by factors such as high cost of living in cities, overcrowding, pollution, and lack of affordable housing.

Individuals may choose to counter urbanise in search of a better quality of life, greater sense of community, or a desire to live closer to nature.

Counter urbanisation can have both positive and negative impacts on the areas experiencing population growth, such as increased strain on infrastructure and services, but also potential economic benefits from new residents.
