U.S. and the Population Crisis

Uncontrolled population growth is the cause many problems around the world. Traffic jams, disease, famine, and poverty all start with overpopulation. The U.S, as a developed country, has a somewhat controlled growth rate and there needs to accept the responsibility of helping less developed, third-world countries such as Ethiopia, Somalia, or India. In India for example, actions have been made by the government in order to limit the growth rate, however, no improvements have occurred and India is on schedule to become the most populous nation in the world. It is up to the U.S. to bring aid to places like India because they won’t be able to do it on their own. If they don’t do anything then the world population will continue to increase and because of globalization it will bring negative effects to the rest of the globe. I don’t believe there should be any conditions to the help of the U.S. because slowing the population crisis is ultimately the more important in the long run.

  1. I liked your essay, but I think that countries like India and there people would react poorly to America trying to fix their problem. It would be somewhat Imperialistic.
