Lower Population Or Higher Population

Have you had those times wandering about the many issues today in the field of the human population? If you ask me, this is where I often find some sides share their perspective.

Some may say that with so many human beings living at this planet, they may say that planet migration would take too long to resolve the current situation. With the rise of trends where a few people or a single person can change the world through their hard work, knowledge, and passion, it really asks the concept of working labor force about the merits and ideology of labor itself critically. Does it work in a world where there is so much people instead of a world with smaller numbers of human population.

Hence why some would say that if there is a way to reduce the current human population, it may as well be used right now. Peaceful way or dangerous way of population control, some of them will take either way all for the possibility of circumventing the current overpopulation of the world, and greatly reduce it for easier management of the human populace.

In another perspective, some may argue that today's population growth becomes a necessity due to the advancing world. Most of all, they point out just how complex the practical and social application of today's jobs and businesses of today and the future will be compared to the past where past tasks and hobbies are very simple. Some would even point out that manufacturing itself is a complex social and practical activity despite today's manufactured jobs are becoming more accessible and easier.

Thus, some would argue that our current population is still stable and just go wing the future.

However, a couple respondents will point out that there has to be a way to create opportunities for just about every single human being on this planet without resorting to extremes on reducing the planet's population. However, they may agree to the idea where finding a way to hamper the growth of human population exponentially is possibly the most needed prevention for human overpopulation without resorting to genocidal ways through ending certain social races and however some extremists may label some classes of people.

So, do you see today's overwhelming population as a manageable issue? Or a alarm to say that the current population must be drastically reduced? Perhaps you are somewhere in between the two where there should be enough in the global perspective? How much does culture play a role in the pros and cons of population?

Population control is fairly easy for the most part, 90% of the work lies in simply giving women full access to reproductive rights. In most countries where population is an issue, women are more or less treated as livestock. In more developed countries where population growth is a problem, that's a bit more tricky. There has to be some sort of restrictions, or at least a penalty of some kind if having a child places a significant burden on your nation-states resources. It would be difficult for me to support something like a one child policy like in China, but I wouldn't see tax penalties or something of that sort being unreasonable.

More or less raises Malthus' doctrine, which has been used as a partial justification for some of the cruel population control measures or mass human-wipeout of the 20th century. Even if Malthus' food prediction shortage has been squashed, there are still some 800 million people in hunger, and more worrisome is the possibility of water scarcity in the future. Some models project over 10 billion humans by 2100, while others say it'll peak at 9.5 billion, but stabilize around 9 billion by end of this century. Either way, the Earth probably cannot sustain more than that number, especially if human impact on the environment isn't reduced. It might be a scary and dangerous thought, but I wonder if sometimes leaders (will) choose to allow major war, catastrophe, or disease to happen to reduce numbers.
