CONTROVERSIAL: Paper due the 11th.

[Nightfyre]

I am writing a series of papers based on the following concept:
Overpopulation: A result of societal immaturity, which is creating the strife on current economies and ecosystems by creating “over-demand” of resources. Overpopulation is a cause of many of our contemporary issues.

This is what I have thusfar.
Discuss points and counterpoints. Please explore the idea thoroughly. The edges are still rough, but I think this type of forum debate could help my papers considerably.

I will post updates as I progress through the week to be sure.



EDIT: This is definitely a rough sketch of my ideas. Please ask me to clarify any points as it will help shape my paper as well.

Society has evolved based on evolution in three aspects of itself. Government, religious doctrine, and particularly philosophical individuals have all brought society to its current state.
Stages of government (size of government):
Anarchy (0)
Packs (1)
Tribes (2)
Republic (corrupt) (imperialistic)(3) (romans)
Monarchy (imperialistic)(4) (brits, French, Spanish pre WWII)
Fascism (imperialistic)(5) (germans, Italians, Japanese WWII)
Monarchy (4) (brits)
Republic (corrupt) (3) (brits prerevolution)
Socialism (corrupt) (4) (Chinese, Russians Coldwar era)
Democracy (less oppressive republic) (2) (America Today)
(Graph Govt.)
Will the world mature in time to recognize the errors of our compulsive desire to procreate?
Most important factors in underdeveloped maturity:
Societal:
Religious Doctrine
People invoke their religion in an attempt to press their own moralities on others. This slows down the people who choose to explore.
Government
Has become so affected by religion that “because the bible said so” is becoming an acceptable justification for amendments and laws.
Cultural Views
Infanticide, males are superior jargon.
Personal:
Religion
Offers “easy way out” to people, cutting off further exploration.
Many choose just to accept what they are fed.

Certainly Society helps one to grow quickly, however, it also hinders individuals by limiting their further growth by closing off worldviews.
