DANGER
IN 21st CENTURY: POPULATION
If the governments do not take any precautions
straight away, people will witness some of biggest effects of population
explosion quite soon. This means that in average, another two billions people
will start to live in the world according to the latest research of NATO.”
Another two billions people” means that much more basic needs and troublesome
problems. Of course; the governments will not hold out and be effective about
these problems. Even when they endeavor to find a way out, will encounter a
whale of problems. Considering all of these aspects, educational problems,
health problems and irregular urbanization can be three main troubles that will
be observed.
First of all, one of the most considerable problems
of unstable population can be education. The more students are available, the
less quality education is given in the countries. As everyone knows, most
destroyed problems for our future because while quality of education declines.
Increasing young population will have more demands for schools and job
opportunities. Lack of job opportunies will bring about unemployment rates of
Turkey increased from 8.8% to 12.1% in 2014 according to TUIK (Türkiye
Istatistik Kurumu). That percentage, 12.1%, may be accepted as a normal grade
around the world. However, it indicates a tremendous explosion, because almost
all countries worldwide have these similar numbers and rates. It means that the
governments and people will come across some results of unemployment like
poverty, famine. When all of these datum of TUIK are considered, lack of
education can be mainspring for bags of problems in the future.
Second terrifying effect of unexpected population is
health problem that will break out all around the world. Food and water are
basic needs to continue life for people. So lack of these sources will affect
the natural life gradually. It causes famine and poverty, are principal reasons
of heaps of serious diseases. In addition, increasing population means
consumption of different energy sources (like electricity, natural gas, coal,
and petroleum). Therefore even today, many of nuclear power stations are
founded all over the world. Even if people come across these types of
illnesses, they will carry on destroying the nature, unfortunately. Although
the nature is a plaster for us, any precautions or treatments cannot be
occurred for disease.
Irregular urbanization and some difficulties about
transportation are third major troubles of rapid population explosion. The
explosion can lead to heaps of problems, like unemployment, education, health.
Because of these serious factors, people may need to migrate from their places
to large cities. So people may call for extra settlement areas. The governments
or people have to build innumerable houses, buildings or shanties to supply
their needs. By the way irregular urbanization will start to arise steadily.
This problem can bring another trouble related to traffic and transportation
because the more people settle down in a city, the more demands may exist for
transportation. For example, each person wants to possess their own car.
According to TUIK datum, in Turkey almost 19 billion transports (just includes
proprietary automobiles) are allowed to hit the roads in 2015.Even if that
figure stirs up trouble for large cities, unfortunately the number goes on
constantly. At the same time, people can perceive lack of public transportation
due to increasing population. When we consider all of these aspects of
troubles, population explosion will complicate the country life steadily.
All in all, educational problems, health problems,
irregular urbanization and transportation are just three troubles of unstable
population. Except for these, people may encounter lots of different problems.
It is absolute that the governments should take precautions to prevent this
increased population and its tremendous effects in all over the world. These
problems evolved due to high population rate of undeveloped countries in
unexpected populated countries. So some beneficial lectures can be given to
diminish the rate of population explosion in certain areas of the world. We can
realize that, according to datum that are influential above, if we do not take
any precautions about it, our children or grandchildren will not experience
their lives as their wishes. Even, our basic needs may be luxurious for them.
