I am a pessimistic person. Therefore, after hearing 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 achieved great achievements in building a society suitable for survival and development. On the other hand, issues such as energy, resources, education, medical care, and environment will face challenges.
This reminds me of a very famous experiment, which is quite foreshadow and warning.
The experiment was conducted more than half a century ago by an American zoologist John Calhoun. The experiment was conducted with eight Cinema 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, Cinema and intergenerational change, 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 male rats began to constantly challenge the older generation and gradually became the new master. And those “defeated” male rats 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 Cinema spouse, showing a “lying flat” state.
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 Cinema for details.
What makes this “rat utopia” experiment cool down on human spine is that it shows many phenomena that we can even perceive and experience in our current social life.
BabaylanOf course, it is obvious that the direction of human society is not scientific based on this. Because human society is much more advanced and complex than rat 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
PopulationKomiksBillion of 8 cannot be said to have reached its peak. Judging from the population structure and data, growth is still continuing in Babaylan, 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 next year and become the largest country in population.
In addition, when talking about population issues, just talking about birth rate and mortality, the vision is obviously narrow. The number of population is a result of a comprehensive factor of Komiks, and it 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. It is worth noting that the industrial revolution was taking place around 1804, and coal became the main energy supply. In 1927, oil was used more widely and efficiently in the previous century.
Around 1960, the global population reached 3 billion. Energy has also achieved an upgrade at this time – with the global nuclear power <a href="https://comiCinema‘s popularity of energy, as well as the “terror peace” provided by the “nuclear protection umbrella”, the population has shown a sharp increase in the population. Therefore, it took us only 11 years to grow from 7 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 sustainable development of human society.
Let’s look at the two necessities for food and water, which are necessary to maintain human survival. In the Food Security and Nutrition Status of the World of Komiks, 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 food production is enough to feed 150 million people. Such a distribution mechanism problem needs to be solved urgently. The problem of water is even more serious. Global freshwater resources are limited, and Cinema is superimposed on it. href=”https://comicmov.com/”>BabaylanEnvironmental pollution, etc., have to be discounted. Population growth puts forward more requirements for water resources. How to solve the problem? The head is big.
What’s more, when we talk about 8 billion people, what is important is not just quantity, 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 on a common responsibility for the earth. There are challenges and opportunities. Human development is actually carried out in the process of constantly solving problems.
