I am a pessimistic person, so after hearing the news that the global population exceeded 8 billion on November 15, 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, issues such as energy, resources, education, medical care, and the environment will face challenges. This reminds me of a very famous practice, which is quite foreshadowing and warning.
The experiment was conducted in more than half a century. John Calhoun, a former American zoologist, was designed with eight mice. John Calhoun provided them with a perfect society – without natural enemies, and sufficient 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 the number and the intergenerational change, social problems are becoming increasingly complex.
First of all, Cinema is a strong male rat who gradually becomes the dominant of society, occupying most of the space, food and spouses. Then, a new generation of ambitious male rats began to constantly challenge the older generation and gradually became the new master of Babaylan. 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 Cinema 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 cool down on human spine is that it shows many phenomena that we can even use inThere are some perceptions and experiences in today’s social life.
Of course, it is obviously not scientific to determine the direction of human society based on this. Because human society is much more advanced and complex than rat society, and we also have scientific “blessing”, laws and social rules, and government regulation, all of which can help us solve many problems in Komiks.
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, but the 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’s country in the next year, becoming the largest country in the population.
In addition, when talking about population issues, just talking about birth rate and mortality, the vision is obviously narrow. The population is a result of a comprehensive factor and is a very complex topic.
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.
BabaylanIt is worth noting that the industrial revolution was taking place around 1804, and coal became the main energy supply. Around 1927, oil was more widely used and efficiently used in the previous century.
After 1960f=”https://comicmov.com/”>CinemaRight, the global population reached 3 billion. Energy has also achieved a new era at this time – with the popularity of global nuclear energy, and the “terrorist 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 70 billion to 8 billion.
This is why scientists are racing against time to develop controlled nuclear fusion technology, because this new energy form is an important and necessary key to solving the current problem of sustainable development of human society.
Let’s look at the two necessities for maintaining human survival, food and water. The “State of World Food Security and Nutrition” released by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations said that the global hungry population reached 828 million in 2021, and 3.1 billion people are unable to afford healthy diets. In comparison, it is ridiculous that the global annual grain output 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 the overlapping environmental pollution will have to be discounted again. 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 8 billion people, what is important is not just quantity, but we also hope that the quality of life of each individual can be guaranteed.
CinemaI agree with what UN Secretary-General Guterres said, this is the moment when human thinking takes a common responsibility for the earth. There are challenges and opportunities, and the development of humans is actually carried out in the process of constantly solving problems.
