Population
Whether we realize it or not, our world is constantly changing. The grades we get go up and down. Building are built and destroyed. New technologies are found. The people on Earth are always changing (specifically the amount of humans on this Earth). Our population is constantly changing. Babies are born everyday while others rest in peace. Some families are celebrating a new addition while others may be mourning their losses.
Regardless, these changes are normal. Population growth is part of human nature. The interesting aspect is the rate that we have been growing. On October 31, 2011, our world reached a population of 7 billion. This is an incredibly large number, and it is hard to grasp the concept of how big this number really is. It is important to look at this growth rate considering the fact that we have a finite amount of space. Can our rate of growth continue at an infinite speed or do we have a carry capacity? Let's check it out.
