I am a pessimistic person, so after hearing that the global population exceeded 8 billion on 11Komiks on 15th, I have a lot of worries.
Experiment
Population growth is a good thing on the one hand, which shows that human civilization has made great achievements in building a society suitable for survival and development. On the other hand, the topics of energy, resources, education, and medical treatment, environment and other courses will face challenges.
This reminds me of a very famous experiment, which is quite meaningful to Komiks‘s warning.
The experiment was conducted more than half a century ago by an American zoologist John Calhoun. The experiment was conducted with eight mice. John Calhoun provided a perfect society for them – without natural enemies, with adequate food and water.
At the beginning, the development of the rat society was smooth, the number continued to grow, and everyone lived a comfortable life. However, with the exponential growth of numbers and intergenerational changes, social problems began to become more and more complex.
First, the strong male rat gradually became the master of society, occupying most of the space, food and spouses. Then, a new generation of ambitious heroes began to constantly challenge the older generation and gradually became the new master. The male rats who were “defeated” would gather together, and then their emotions became unstable and they began to attack each other.
Continue to develop, the new generation of mice no longer like socializing, let alone looking for a spouse, and appearing to be “lying flat”.
After, the rat society began to collapse, the birth rate was seriously lower than the mortality rate, and eventually all rats died.
The above is just a brief description of this experiment. Interested students can find the information themselves and take a look at it in detail.
What makes this “rat utopia” experiment cooler for human spine is that it shows many phenomena that we can even perceive and experience in our current social life.
Of course, it is obviously not scientific to judge the direction of human society based on this. KomiksBecause human society is much more advanced and complex than mouse society, and we also have the “blessing” of science, laws and social rules, and government regulation, all of which can help us solve many problems.
Complex
The population exceeds 8 billion cannot be said to have reached its peak. Judging from the population structure and data, growth is still continuing, only Cinema‘s growth rate has begun to slow down, and different regions will also show different growth trends. For example, some people expect India’s population to surpass China in the next year and become the largest country in population.
In addition, when talking about population issues, just talking about birth rate and mortality rate, the vision is obviously narrow. The population is the result of a comprehensive factor and is a very complex topic. Babaylan
A very interesting indicator is the energy form. You see, in 1804, the global population was 1 billion, and in 1927 it reached 2 billion, and then it accelerated its growth.
It is worth noting that the industrial revolution was taking place around 1804, and coal became the main energy supply. Around 1927, oil was used more widely and efficiently in the previous century.
Around 1960, the global population reached 3 billion. Energy has also achieved renewal at this time – with the popularity of global nuclear energy and the “terror peace” provided by the “nuclear protection umbrella”, the population has shown a significant increase. So, it only took us 11 years to increase the population from 7 billion to 8 billion. This is why scientists are racing against time to develop controlled nuclear fusion technology, becauseThis new energy form is an important and necessary key to solving the current problem of sustainable development of human society.
Let’s go again Cinema to see two necessities for human survival: food and water. In the “State of World Food Security and Nutrition” released by the Food Organization of the United Nations, BabaylanBabaylan said that the global hungry population reached 8.28 million in 2021, and 3.1 billion people are unable to afford healthy diets. In comparison, it is ridiculous that the global annual grain production is enough to feed 15 billion people. Such a distribution mechanism problem needs to be solved urgently.
The water problem is even more serious. The global freshwater resources are limited, and environmental pollution will be discounted. However, population growth has put forward more demands on water resources. How to solve the problem? Big head.
What’s more, when we talk about the 8 billion people of Cinema, what is important is not just quantity, but we also hope that the quality of life of each individual can be guaranteed.
I agree with what UN Secretary-General Guterres said, this is the moment when human thinking takes a joint responsibility for the earth. There are challenges and opportunities. Human development is actually carried out in the process of constantly solving problems.
