Consumption OverpopulationThink of a sign that says EARTH Maximum Capacity 10 Billion. The human population organizes parties based on what they have. They lack space and resources. Anyone organizing these parties should take into account how many people would have to huddle together and how many people would not have enough food to last the party. Which basically causes the guests to be reduced to a certain number. Our planet bears a close resemblance to the party already mentioned. Just like a large room can only offer a certain amount of resources. Despite this idea, the concepts of overpopulation and resource degradation are still widespread and pose a risk. The concept of the word consumptive overpopulation refers to the pollution and decline of the surrounding area when inhabitants absorb more than what the planet has to offer in terms of urbanization, overpopulation and poverty (Berg & Hager,2007). The Bergen laboratories state that the concept we have written about is a risk chain that we like to label as the Man-Environment-Man chain. The chain begins with changes in the environment itself. Innovations, overpopulation and its role on the environmentA certain article written by Pratarelli and Chiarelli (2007) entitled Extinction and hyperspecialization states that even specialization in human abilities towards change has disappeared far away in terms of specialization. According to Praterelli and Chiarelli the ideas of technology, overpopulation and current hiring models are starting to create the problem of resource degradation and inequality on our planet (Pratarelli and Chiarelli, 2007). The very premise of adaptation through change is the inability to allow time for a sl...... middle of paper ......hp?option=com_content&task=view&id=119&Itemid=135Berg, LR, & Hager, M. C. (2007).
