Final Discussion Question

The problem of overpopulation is one that has faced the Earth for many centuries. In China, the population became so large that the government imposed a child limit. While this solution has helped a little, it has been so controversial and has hurt so many people that I don’t believe it can have any long term benefit to society. This is a really difficult problem to overcome, and I doubt that I’ll see a solution in my lifetime. I think that the only way we can solve this problem is to expand into outer space. It may not be possible to colonize other planets since so far, scientists have no found another planet that could sustain life, but I think that living on space stations could be a viable option in the future, if we develop the technology to support this endeavor. The overpopulation of our planet is one of the biggest problems that threatens the future of our world, but I do not believe that any solution will be found anytime soon.
