Essays on Human Population

The gifts of nature have sustained human and all life for millions of years. However, the increase in human population, industrialization, and globalization of industry continue to undermine the capacity of the earth. For over a hundred year, the population of human beings on the planet often realize the different forms of sustaining the lives of human beings. However, in doing so, a lot of natural resources have been depleted and worse corrupted the very resources upon which all life on the planet is sustained. The last century is a clear indication of the trajectory on which the planet ...

Abstract

The impact of coffee (caffeine) on diabetes is an issue that has not found significant exploration in past literature. The general hypothesis and one that has been adopted in this study is that coffee and particularly it major ingredient caffeine has significant positive influence on prevention of diabetes in humans. In this experiment, the researchers utilized a sample of eleven mice that had a genetic mutation for becoming diabetic. These mice were subjected to a diet of water (control group) and diluted coffee in the experimental group (Yamauchi et al., 2010). It was assumed that the experimental group would ...

Introduction

Biological attacks include the use of biological agents such as bacteria, fungus, and toxins from living creatures for intentional or threatened purposes to cause deaths or diseases to human populations, plants, and other animals. Therefore, biological agents can be considered as microorganisms, which affect the normal functioning of other living things by imposing diseases or even deaths. Biological agents attack continues to pose great threat majorly to the world population with majority concern being given to its ability to bring massive loss of lives to individuals. It’s, therefore, a major concern for the law enforcement agencies and medical ...

Introduction

In the past, humans practiced hunting and gathering as a way of finding food. They would hunt down animals for food and feed the different communities. Over time, as the human population grew. The growth in human population meant that there was an increased demand in food, thus leading to an increased number of animals to hunt down. It became impossible for the humans to solely depend on animals for food. Another result with the increased human population was increased demand for land. The humans turned to cutting down or burning vegetation. In the process, some animals were burnt ...

Introduction

In spite of the contribution of urbanization to the economic growth in Zhejiang, its adverse effects far much outweigh the positives since sustainability of the ecosystem and the society is at stake. Environmental concerns, particularly air pollution, are real threats to the ecosystem since they lead to increased atmospheric temperatures which in turn result in climate changes. Urbanization contributes to pollution through higher energy consumption and motorization that have resulted in higher volumes of greenhouse gasses emitted in the air. The shrinking of natural resources is another consequence of urbanization where there is the rampant destruction of natural habitats, ...

The guest of honor, other distinguished guests that have graced this occasion, ladies, and gentlemen, all protocols observed, water is one of the most precious natural commodities that we must always pride ourselves. Even though this product covers more than seventy percent of the planet, thinking that it will forever remain a fallacy (WWF, par. 1). The only available fresh water for human consumption accounts for three percent of the total available water. There are however concerns regarding the rate at which these water sources are disappearing with current information indicating that water systems like rivers, aquifers and lakes ...

Human overpopulation presents one of the most pressing social, political and environmental issues in the modern world, dramatically aggravating the forces behind environmental pollution, global warming, mass extinction, loss of natural habitats and overexploitation of finite natural resources. According to McKibben (34), fresh water is the most important finite natural resource with no immediate substitute for most uses. Yet, this resource is being depleted at a higher rate than is being replenished. As the human population expands, the amount of fresh water available decreases, which puts the human species at a great danger. It is estimated that by 2030, ...

For each of the geological epochs, identify the general primate group that first appears and radiates during that epoch. In addition, give the time range in millions of years for each epoch and provide at least one example of a specific primate genus and/ or species that is representative of each general primate group. 2. List and briefly describe at least five elements of the post-cranial anatomy found in humans, but not in apes, that facilitate efficient bipedal locomotion. Provide specific ...

Human population has experienced explosive growth over the recent decades. Population dynamics is a multifaceted aspect that encompasses not only population size, growth and density, but also the peculiarities of urbanization and migration taking into account such variables as age and sex (de Sherbinin et al., 2007). Lam, (2011) points out that demographic change is closely related to the three aspects, namely urbanization, fertility decline, and investment in children. “The growth of the world population goes hand in hand with global urbanisation: while around the year 1950 less than 30% of people lived in the cities, this proportion has ...

Broad topic – Is inorganic farming really beneficial in agriculture?

Narrowest topic - Should we really adopt the use of inorganic farming practices to boost the agricultural production? Should we really adopt the use of inorganic farming practices to boost the agricultural production? The issue The major differences between conventional and organic farming practices stem down to the farming methods that are applied during the food cultivation process. It is surprising enough that many individuals are yet unaware of the existing differences between the two farming methods. It is crucial to understand what goes on in agriculture because it has a direct effect on our environment. Inorganic farming also ...

The human population has grown tremendously worldwide since time immemorial. Originally, there was one ancestor from whom the present 7 billion human populations grew (Miller & Spoolman, 2015). The original human ancestors lived in one particular part of the globe. However, as the population increased and the need for more resources and better living conditions emerged, the people spread to different parts of the earth. The origin of man is not well known yet. However, many theories have been proposed to explain this phenomenon. Most researchers believe that Homo sapiens originated from Africa from where its descendants moved to the ...

Music has always been part of the human and society system. It makes the various occasions to be more meaningful. It also mirrors human emotions as various music relay the internal thoughts and emotions rooted from the different experiences of man. In fact, music is part of the day to day activities of man. There are various types and genres of music. Some are made and played for specific reasons while there are some that can be aired and played at any moment of time. Whereas the number of music accelerates rapidly in today’s generation, there is a ...

Homeland Security Discussion 3

Global Threats Global hazards are events that can affect not only one country but the entire human population. Currently, many experts believe that the biggest global threat the world is facing is climate change. Many believe that this is already beginning to transform life in the planet as seasons starts to shift and the temperatures are already climbing which cause the sea level to rise. This affects not only the human population but also other species on Earth. Climate change mitigation efforts have already started and one of which is to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases and looking ...

Abstract

The article by Lobell and his associates focuses on the investments that are made to ensure food security due to the threat of global warming. Moreover, the projections about the climate of the world in 2030 are taken into consideration. The needed adaptations are discussed in the course of the writing to shed light on the importance of taking action with utmost immediacy. The article by Schmidhuber and Tubiello goes on to delve deep into the four main factors (availability, stability, utilization, and access) that are associated with food security. There is a qualitative discussion of the negative impact ...

1. Introduction Global warming consequences have been mainly focused on the impacts they have and will in the future have on the global human population. The less focus is on the impact on the animal and plant species that are even more vulnerable, since they cannot adapt to quick changes as humans can. They are not the main culprit for the climate changes and yet they will suffer the most. One of the animal species that is being threatened by the global climate change are also polar bears that inhabit the polar region. They are playing an important role ...

“The land ethic,” which is found in the work of Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac, is a theoretical philosophical framework. In it, Leopold tries to confront the weaknesses which he say encompass common environmental conservation. Leopold, a trained forester, and hunter, cherished and recognized the benefits of nature (Leopold, 2014). Having lived through the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression, he witnessed fertile top soil in southwestern Wisconsin blown away by the wind and eventually sip into the sea. These he observed were as a result of human activities and wondered how, despite the profit motives of man ...

Introduction

The population growth in the world is a major environmental issue which requires the attention of everyone. The rate at which the population of humans in different countries is increasing leaves us with the question, is earth in the position to sustain this increase in the population and what are the major effects of this issue (Livi-Bacci, 76). The rate at which the population is growing has become the major concern of many in relation to the environmental problems being experienced in the world today. After research on a number of issues facing the environment in the world in ...

The Ozark Big Eared Bat

The Ozark Big Eared Bats (Corynorhinus townsendii ingens) are found in different habitats accross the United States. They are limited in number and are found in Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma; however, it was reported that they are no longer found in Missouri because of the destruction of the environment. In Oklahoma, they are found in Adair County and adjacent parts of Cherokee and Delaware counties. In the early 1970s, the Ozark big eared bats were documented to only be a hundred in Missouri. With efforts in the l980s, it was reported that an increase in number among these creatures have occurred. ...

The human population has had lengthy struggles trying to understand cancer. It has baffled many as it represents itself in numerous forms, and its features are exceedingly varied. Cancer requires specialist aggressive prognoses, innovative approach to its management, and early and fast response to it treatment. All these have dire economic implications to patients and their families. It is possible that a single type of cancer may behave entirely different in two patients presenting the likelihood of two types of diseases (Mukheerjee, 2010, p.1). There is no uniform theory regarding cancer that gives the common characteristics of various types of ...

Corridors and Population Dispersion

Part I. Introduction and Review of Relevant Biology

1. Energy transfer becomes inefficient in higher trophic levels in a food chain. Predators utilize more energy in obtaining food than their prey. The number of organisms and the amount of biomass defines energy relationships among organisms in trophic levels. Most top predators are huge in size but their population is lower because there is not enough energy to support a large population of these predators (Odum and Barrett).

2. A population of infinite size is seen less likely to evolve since it would be almost resistant to random fluctuations within the environment. Small populations on the other hand are prone ...

I agree that sustainable economic development and social stability in China will be a mirage even when institutional reforms in leadership succession, anti-corruption, environmental protection and the legal system have been reformed. All these are good practises that cement the gains of economic growth, but they cannot independently spark economic growth. It is clear that the corruption discredits the legitimacy of the regime, and in turn scenes of demonstrations could be precipitated. It goes without saying that civilian unrest discredits investments and political growth, as that witnessed in the 1990s by students in china (Yang, 220).

This is to say ...

Food webs contain a delicate balance of species that when allowed to run naturally will result in fluctuations in population sizes such that the number of surviving predators depends on the number of prey available. As environmental conditions such as weather patterns change so does the potential for changes in population sizes. Humans have assumed a stewardship role with respect to the environment and tend to want to keep populations of various animals constant so the environment is easier to manage. This is one reason why humans now hunt various species such as deer, duck, wolf, and bear.

Introduction

Water degradation is the contamination of water (inland water that’s not saline) with materials or substances that result in the water being unfit for human, plant or animal use. Pollution may occur from chemicals, fecal waste, pesticides, sediments, petroleum or heated substances. Water sources that have been polluted are unfit for fishing, swimming, and the water is unfit for human consumption. Water quality degradation is, as a result, diffuse contaminants at the source with the spatial as well as the temporal variability that’s associated with the sources (Intergovernmental Panel on Climatic Change, 2007). It is more difficult to ...

Biodiversity refers to the diversity of life forms on Earth, millions of species of plants, animals, microorganisms, their sets of genes and complex ecosystems that make up the wildlife. Biodiversity is the main habitat-forming element of the planet, which provides the ability to save the environment and biological resources. Biological diversity is the result of close interaction with the physical shell of the biosphere, since each species is the result of a natural historical development of the organic world. Biodiversity is necessary for maintaining the functional structure of the biosphere and its component ecosystems, as its aesthetic value is the ...

[Author Name(s), First M. Last, Omit Titles and Degrees] [Institutional Affiliation(s)] The human population of the planet is assessed to have passed the limit of 6 billion individuals. This can be counted as an example of overcoming adversity, because of enhanced medicinal services and decreased baby mortality while growing life compasses. Be that as it may, a typical concern is that as human population keeps on expanding, it will put more strain on nature, on countries' capacity to give, economies to develop, and society to prosper. With a first glance at the world map of population, ...

Introduction

Demography is the study of the human population. Ideally, human population is studied in terms of the size, the composition, and the distribution of persons across the specified area of study. The three major demographic elements that are used to determine the composition and causes of different population changes include birth, death, and the migration of people. First, the population of a place may be described in terms of some of the common demographic features such as sex, age, household status and family composition. However, demography can also be described in terms of the social and economic context. That is; ...

Godzilla is the monstrous dinosaur awakened from his deep slumber in the depths of the sea and started raising havoc in Tokyo, Japan. Godzilla is a movie set during 1954 with a baggage of controversies, issues, appreciations and critics. Godzilla is more than just the rubber monster destroying toy trains and buildings. He is more than the flames he breathes to the human population in the film He is more than just mutated dinosaur. Godzilla is a symbol of fear for something bigger. He is a shadow of the nuclear weapons. Godzilla is a film that mirrors the historical event of Japan at ...

There are several sampling designs such as simple random sampling, systematic sampling, stratified sampling and, cluster sampling as well as purposive and snowball sampling. This paper discusses how purposive and snowball sampling can be used in sampling human population. Purposive sampling is a non-probability sampling method. This means that it does not base its findings on probability but rather on a well analyzed research. Snow ball sampling method is also a non-probability sampling. Non-probability sampling methods are applied in the estimation of the human population as it is usually difficult to determine the population of human basing your sampling method on probability. ...

The Tragedy of the Commons is an article authored by Garret Hardin in 1968. In this article, Hardin presents a sensational and compelling formulation of the human population problem. He poses the problems of population in very stark terms. He first examines the relationship between the human population and the available resources and makes a conclusion that there is a need for the population to be effectively controlled. He then engages in a comprehensive discussion of the reasons that have led to the observed swelling of the current population. Hardin then uses this analysis to propose plausible solutions. Hardin’s kicks off ...

Background of the Disaster

The Chernobyl disaster is one of the historical nuclear disasters that happened in April 26, 1986. It is referred as the world’s worst nuclear accident that moved the entire earth. The accident resulted to deaths of people both from the nuclear power plant at the time of the incident and also a number of people afterwards. Accordingly, one of the four nuclear reactors of the Chernobyl power stationed exploded due to operational defects, flawed reactor design and inadequate training of personnel (Chernobyl). The nuclear power plan explosion instantly released radioactive materials into the atmosphere. This created a deep impact ...

Monsters, myths and magic have been the greatest fears of the human population in for centuries now. The thought of having spiritual and hypothetical forces with unimaginable effects to mankind makes people leave in fear and anxiety. In most occasions, discussions of the existence of such beings have been backed with very little evidence and baseless assertions. However, people have never stopped worrying about their fate especially while considering the much talked abilities of such beings. This paper focuses on aliens, also called extraterrestrial beings, and the effects their purported existence or invasion of earth have had on the ...

Global warming is probably among some of the most major issues that our planet and its inhabitants are facing. Indeed, the phenomenon has some very alarming effects on agriculture and on animals, and it has even more frightening effects on the human population. The media and politicians are often heard debating over the fact about global warming. However, even though there is widespread disagreement about the causes, but the reality of the global and measurable effects of global warming cannot be denied. The fact of the matter is that, it is the human race is the source of the ...

Huxley made various predictions regarding the world in his book, Brave New World. An interesting prediction proposed by the book includes the influence of the media. As per the Huxley’s prediction, media assume a central position in influencing people’s way of life in the modern society. Besides the important role of media, few people take time to look well into the matter (Paul 7). For example, some of the information received from televisions and other media is often based on personal opinions. This means that such information might be biased; however, few people seek to understand whether the ...

The tiger is the one of the world’s largest known cat species. Its scientific name is Panthera Tigris, and is known to reach body lengths of nearly four meters (Hunter). The tiger is an apex predator, which means that the tiger belongs to the highest position in the food chain. It is also considered as an endangered species of cats and therefore has received protection from governments all over the world against poaching and killing (Hunter). There are several agencies and organizations that are linked with the welfare and protection of the tiger. These organizations work to increase ...

Introduction

Currently the distribution of tigers extends from the Pacific coast of Russia to West and Southern India, continuing East into the Malayan Peninsula and Sumatra. They inhabit a wide range of habitats from impenetrable tropical forest of Sumatra to the semi-arid tracts of Western India and the human dominated agricultural landscapes of the Gangetic Plains of India. The tiger (any sub-species) is always the top carnivore and the apex predator of any ecosystem wherever it is present. Being on top the food chain, they regulate the population of other predators, prey species (herbivores) and in turn the plant population of a ...

Since the ancient history, people have been wearing clothes made from leather and animal fur. One cannot imagine a cave man without a small piece of leather hanging around his waist. Then, it was the only material that they could use for making clothes. However, since the modern ages, leather and fur coats have become the synonyms for wealth and the branding mark for many fashion designers. On the other hand, the planet is facing with the extinction of animal species that are killed only for its fur or skin. Leather and fur coats should be outlawed so that the civilization ...

It is clear that before the colonization of mars, there were very few entities that gave total explanation of the situation at mars. This is evident in the details that are provided by the author who genuinely state that before the first people got to mars. It is made clear that there was a need for a new planet considering the growing population that is being currently experienced on earth. This is one of the factors that could have driven the different countries into trying and establishing new locations where they could easily settle and establish themselves. This paper will try ...

Animals are part of our nature and an important chain in the cycle of nature. In the past, researchers have used many different species of animals for various testing trying to find cures for some human disease. However, since the public placed experiments on animals under the spotlight, the reduction of testing on animals has been noticed. Animals should not be used for science and research because by doing that people torture animals and results obtained by these tests can be done is some other way. In the first place, the researchers defend their necessity to test drugs ...

Food production and consumption are global issues that must not be taken for granted. After all, there is a full understanding of the premise that without mechanisms enabling the proper production and distribution of food, people in different parts of the world will starve to death. Being crucial not only in terms of nutrition but also survival, in its most basic sense, food must undergo production processes that are responsibly undertaken. Ensuring that food is responsibly processed in production does not just ensure the nutrition and survival of people, but also the welfare ...

Introduction

The emergence of genetically engineered food has become widespread in contemporary times, particularly because of the fact that the human population is constantly growing to the point where the natural production of food proved inadequate. The need to feed the human population with enough food has since stood as the justification of numerous caucuses supporting the production of genetically engineered food. At the same time, genetically modified food has become the center of dispute by groups opposing it for reasons such as its allegedly unhealthy effects and unethical ways of producing it, among many others. This study aims ...

Why The Earth Axis Is 23.5°?

As everybody knows, there are four seasons on Earth: spring, summer, fall, and winter. Many people believe that the seasons change because the earth's orbit is elliptical and the distance between the earth and the sun keeps varying. It is not absolutely wrong, but the season changes over time are mostly caused by the rotation axis of the Earth to its orbit. The earth's rotation axis is not vertical to its orbit; it is tilted at 23.5 degrees to its orbit. Knowing the difference of each area’s biome and seasonal differences have been irrelevant to most people in ...

Plant and animal domestication has been one of the most significant developments to occur in the past thirteen thousand years, in human history. This development is of interest to all of us because it provides most of the food we consume today. It was required in the rise of civilization and was responsible for the transformation of global demography. Domestication, however, had its own consequences such as the development of epidemic infectious diseases. The main human killers since the development of agriculture have mostly been acute, epidemic, and highly infectious diseases that are confined to human beings and ...

General introduction: Historical Background about Tobacco

Cigarette consumption started as early as 16th centuries among the pre-Columbian Americas. However, the natives smoked for medicinal and ceremonial purposes only. The cultivation and smoking methods were completely different as compared in the early 1960’s. The people used to smoke the tobacco in pipes. Tobacco consumption started in Europe at the end of 16th century after Christopher Columbus took with him some few tobacco leaves and seeds. However, its used was largely popularized by such individuals like Jean Nicot who champion for the spread of the significance it had to the users. The main idea of Christopher ...

Environmental crisis in china

. China is among the countries that have been directly affected by environmental crisis. This crisis is due to its rapid industrialization and large population which has led to increase in different forms of pollution causing widespread environmental and health problems. One of the major environmental problems facing China is air pollution. Apparently China is the largest contributor of greenhouse gases and pollutes the atmosphere more than she does in energy production. North China is among the most affected regions of China. This is clearly evident as sometimes the people in Beijing have made international headlines for putting on ...

Studies on HIV are fast accumulating throughout the years. Scientific studies have demonstrated the destructive nature of HIV in the human population. There has also been emerging studies on the retrovirus which illustrate the risks of acquiring HIV in humans when they are in close contact with non-human primates such as chimpanzees (LeBretton et al., 2007). Some studies in the field of psychology relate HIV to social stigma among humans who have acquired such disease (Logie et al., 2011). Scientists noted how the HIV pathogen can be acquired and how it affects the human physiology. Having such essential information ...

Although scientists have made tremendous breakthrough in the field of medicine over the last few centuries, infections caused by protozoa, bacteria and virus continue to affect human population (Leonhard, Anabel, Florin-Christensen, and Morrison, 2012). One of such infection caused by protozoa is babesiosis, a disease that affects both human and animals. Protozoa exists in soil and aqueous environments, and their sizes range between 10-50µm. They have continued to cause many sickness, mutilation, death, and debilitation than other similar organisms. Epidemiology is the study of the frequency, causes, and health effects of disease in given populations. The science of epidemiology ...

In the last 200 years, there has been rapid world’s human population growth as a result of high fertility rate, drop in death rate, and unemployment (McCuen, 2013). The current increase in population is due to high fertility rate. The high rate of fertility may be partially elucidated by work force required to perform agricultural tasks. In addition, population increase has been attributed to drop in global death rate since the beginning of industrial revolution. Personal hygiene as well as improved sanitation has made great contribution to decrease in deaths. Moreover, unemployment results to poverty. Poor people spend more ...

Problem Statement

The need to live in a healthy environment is the desire of everyone. A healthy environment exists where health professionals engage in the analysis of various factors that contribute to health problems, and adopting remedies to solve them in their various contexts. This needs appreciation of the cultural diversity among the human population, and recognition of its impact on the diagnosis and treatment of various health issues such as mental illnesses (Covan, 2010). The ethnic background of individuals reinforces their culture and assigns them different gender roles. These are crucial in analyzing health problems in order to advise on the ...

‘Instructor’s Name’ Abstract Today, a rough estimate of global population is about 7 billion, which is 4 times greater than what it was in 1900. For thousands of year human population showed a very slow and measured increase in numbers and suddenly in the past millennia we are growing at a staggering rate. In fact in 1700 the global population was roughly 10 times lesser than the current population. So, why we should be alarmed? Well! The answer is that the resources of the earth are not sufficient to cater to the needs of such huge amount of people ...

Article Review: Human Population, Carrying Capacity, and Resource Use

It is easy to forget that human beings are animals and that they must follow the same ecological and biological rules as the rest of the animal kingdom. Humanity has the biggest ecological footprint-- the amount of land that it would take to provide all the resources for a population and take care of its waste-- of any animal in the animal kingdom. Calculating the carrying capacity of the world for humanity is difficult, but research suggests that the ecological footprint of humanity is growing to the point where the earth may not be able to support the type of ...
